    Does ABF still have that, No vacation your first year rule??

    They really shot themselves in the foot with that one..

    The housing costs and the winters are the reasons I kind of wrote that place off. Nice to visit, but after doing some soul-surfing, I figured it probably would've ended poorly for me had I made the move. Might've angered some potential employers with my flake-out, but an out-of-state move needs to be properly thought over before making the jump.

    actually we have pretty good winters in Denver and the front range. The mtns get pummelled though.

    Besides, there is no thinking in trucking.

    No vacation for TWO years. I'd say it's better than the concessions the YRC drivers are working under (giving 15% of their pay back to the company). Still, you're right; it makes recruiting drivers more difficult.

    Eh, you could keep it. NM has been good enough for me. I'm out of CO's league.
