    Crete told me yesterday that they want me to call Aug 3 to set up start date. Start date wouldn't be until end of Aug or beginning of Sept. I'm hesitant about waiting that long cause who knows what the economy will be doing by then.

    While running with a trainer, you will get paid the Wednesday following the one after the pay period ends. It isn't until you get your own truck that you get paid the same week. Figure that into your calculations.

    Roehl does some strange things with new hires. They rented me a car to drive to Gary from Florida, but flew people in from Minnesota. Anyway, that's odd they are sending you to Marshfield for orientation. Gary would be closer for you I'd think.
