    I think the toilets at the yard are broke. I went in to make my rounds and Stacey said I had to go up to Concentra to pee.

    Chris is put me on a load going to the Laredo crossing. Just gotta watch my hours and keep on them so I can make it back Thur for my appt Fri.

    Hi Johnboy,

    My Husband got a call from Abilene today. Is that a good sign or do they pretty much call everyone that puts in an ap?

    I would take that as a good sign Lady. Better than not getting a call. They are a good company.

    They call if the app looks good. They will do an informal interview over the phone, clear your background checks, then offer you a job. They will set you up with a physical/drug test with a Concentra facility near you, or of there isn't one then they'll just do it up here. They don't play games, if they offer you a job and bring you in, then you have the job. Just pass the drug test and don't run anyone over on the road test.

    I told him to go on YouTube. There's a bunch of videos that show how to do it. Then when he gets back to richmond to practice here on the yard while the weather is still nice.

    the first post on this thread has videos on how to chain
    this guy has run the Pacific north West all his life

    the biggest chance of chaining is on 70 in CO
    if your on 80 anymore they just close the road before it is a problem
    my company has 5 trucks go back and forth Green Bay to LA every week
    no one has chained in 5 years
    so dont panic yet

    my wife has a hard time remembering whether i am coming or going
    there musr be a happy medium somewhere between the 2 of you :biggrin_25521:
