    no, single occupancy. you checkin and if your name is on the forward air list, they issue a room key. The room was fine for the minimal time i was there.

    dang whats up their ###. so was the simulator hard or something? what would make people fail. and how do people not get cleared. is it mainly failing dot physical. i assume day cab test is easy if thats 2nd option. geez kinda have me worried. so they dont just route you back to your home terminal when u need to? man your experience is a lot different than my dads. do they seem like nice people tho? and are you dispatched by talkin to them. or do theu just force crap

    Stayed at Truck load 2 weeks before the lies and ######## revealed itself. I actually quit. Luckily I was 80 miles from home...

    Manager from LTL called me and wanted to know why I quit...I explained things and he asked me to come work for him in LTL.

    I agreed.

    So far so good.
