    I just spoke with Scott, you'll be assigned to my truck as long as you're in Richmond on Wednesday for orientation. You'll be done Friday afternoon. You might have too wait until Saturday to get in my truck though. I get in Monday, they'll run me and get me back either Friday or Saturday.

    Sounds great! Just talked to Sandra and she said Rusty will be in contact with me today about transportation to Richmond. Look forward to meeting you!

    Now Cranky... We can all agree that what happened in the past should stay in the past... Everyone deserves a second chance... And you are only as good as your next load...

    Don't cloud poor Carl's opinion or judgement of JohnBoy by bringing up his track record... He deserves to make up his own mind, based on his own experience. :rolleyes:
     
    Cranky Yankee and WotansVolkman Thank this.

    And I just spoke with Sandra who is our recruiter out of our West Memphis location... Had a nice chat with her. Seems like a very nice lady to work with... She has been OTR with Abilene as both solo and team so she is very familiar with driving both in general and here at Abilene... I look forward to working with her.

    Thanks for the response Johnboy, think I've read this thread head to toe almost.
    Been looking at Abilene for some time now.Just waiting to give current company 2 weeks notice when I get home next week,trying to leave on good terms.
    Both excited and nervous about making a change not much of a jobhopper.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    Leaving on good terms is always a good move... Never know if you will be going back hoping to get rehired or something.

    Having said that, are you coming to Abilene? If so, do you know when your orientation date is?

    Plan on coming over,just haven't set date yet.Will be giving company I'm with 2 week notice next week.They probally won't run me the 2 weeks,that's why I haven't set date yet,I haven't even filled out app yet, just talked with Sandra that's all,not worried though no tickets or accident's nothing to hide.
