    Ok folks... I know this is going to be very very hard to believe.... But... Went to drop n hook at Gatorade today... Saw that the pickup was a reefer trailer... And I just knew I was going to be turning around at the CAT Scale to have something removed...

    Got to the CAT Scales ... and....

    76,460.... Heck, I could have even filled up too.

    I bet they screwed up and I am missing a pallet.

    Or two... {shrug}
     
    5speed Thanks this.

    Maybe the message finally got through after they kept having to take pallets back off.

    So since I did an application twice, sent an email and sent a smoke signal, I'm going to call recruiting tomorrow and see what's going on. Any suggestions on who to ask for or a number?

    Phone number removed and ask for rusty or trish in recruiting. I think they have direct extensions but easier to just get transferred.

    The process is pretty straightforward and quick. If they want to hire you they will send you for a local dot physical and drug test and have you on your way to Richmond the week after.

    Rusty is laid back, not the typical recruiter you may have spoken to in the past. He doesn't try to "sell" anything.
