    Awesome man! Stoked for you bro! I'm up in Greer, SC this week doing my required training. I still need to get back to St. Gabriel, LA for a couple more days of road training and to get my truck. I was gonna head back to Louisiana tomorrow after class but there's another storm brewing so I'll probably head back to Florida tomorrow & hang out for the weekend until this storm decides what it wants to do. Hopefully, I can get back up there Monday, knock out this training & get my truck! Hasn't really been much to post related to trucking but I'll get this thread going again once I'm behind the wheel. Good luck with everything!

    Good deal! I wouldn't worry too much about what's brewing. Right now it's barely forecast to make it to TS status before landfall. You'll probably just get a bunch of rain from it. Hopefully it won't take too long to get my car fixed and I can make it to the terminal one day next week. Might even run into each other while you're over here wrapping up your business lol.

    Yeah that's what it looks like & that's what I hope but I never let my guard down with these storms this time of year. The wife is home alone so I'll go home just for peace of mind. I'd rather be home than sit in a hotel in Gonzales anyway. I'll definitely be up there next week, hope to see you there.

    Yeah, familiar bed with the missus will always beat out a random hotel bed alone lol.

    Well I called the terminal yesterday. Unfortunately, the manager had left for the day, but the lady I spoke with was super friendly and took my info and is going to find out for me if the school I'm going to is on a approved list. She also told me to go ahead and apply on the website.

    Just an FYI...
    When I first applied to my company, my manager told me to answer "yes" to all of the questions that ask if you have a CDL. Otherwise, the program kicks you out. He told me it was the only way to get into the company system. I think you should still have that conversation with the manager.

    Yeah, that might have been good info to have, lol. Oh well, I'll wait for the callback and see what they say.

    I agree with Spindrift, don't wait. They are so busy & you'll be waiting forever if you're lucky enough to even get a callback. I would go ahead and apply online as well.

    Is it just the office staff that's busy or are you all busy out on the road too?
    I'll be starting CDL school next Monday and finishing in December. Superior is at the top of my list of companies to work for so at what point should I be looking to apply?
