    truckin4alvin,

    Keep us updated....

    From personal experience ...most people ask a lot of questions because

    they simply don't like surprises...

    Ive have the feeling W/S is a decent company and they don't have anything up their sleeve like some of the bigger carriers do.

    Wesland...the locations you are giving are looking like some pretty decent miles from where i sit....Cali...Texas...Atlanta...New Mex...etc

    :biggrin_25519: I am about 70 miles from home...waiting to drop a load in the a.m.

    ....hopefully Jim did send my application via the mail and I can fax

    it back to him tomorrow.

    god deal truckinforalivin keep me updated how it goes if you think of anymore questions i will do my best to answer them , if your flying out of atlanta like i did i left out early wednesday morning switches flights in phoeninx then to L.A. then a shuttle bus will take you to the terminal . also they will give you a nextel phone which the service sucks compared to my personal phone which is verizon but hey its free and it works when i need it too

    Heres a little bit more info i have found out since i have been here , A couple of there sticking points are 1. dont be late 2.dont tear up there trucks cosmetic wise. 3. BE SURE to make your check calls everyday in the handbook it says after your third time they will charge you $50 for each check call you miss so i just make sure i do it you have peoplenet and a cell phone so its not that hard . between 7:30 and 9 am is when they want it

    Im in Atlanta...I think truckin4Alvin is in Minnesota

    Don't be late is understandable...where I work now being late will get you canned.

    Is you truck 10 or 13 speeds ?
