    Guessing Abilene does not go to California. They told me they don't hire out of that state. Is it because of the 40 foot trailers limit?

    3 of our biggest customers are in Colton, Riverside and San Bernardino. Plus we have 3 local drivers in Colton that deliver and pick for us all over So Ca. I do know of a driver that lives up near Stockton and one that lives in Reno. Who did you speak with?

    I keep hearing that freight is down. It usually starts picking by now though. At least from what I understand.

    I'm not really concerned, I'm pretty sure I'll be rolling later today. I hope anyway.

    I am not based in California. I am still in the process of coming aboard. I've been in touch with Curtis who is passing my app info to Rusty. Sandra is still out of the office I think. I was just making an assumption about CA. That's cool. I'd love to see San Diego someday.

    Where do you guys get this dot requirement of back 10 yrs ?
    It's simply not so ... dot requires employment history last 3.
    The background checks will of course tell more.
    And company's can go back as far as they wish.
    CSA , I believe will go back 5 in the event you have 5 yrs.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    They said that they don't "hire" out of California. Doesn't mean we don't drive in and out of California.

    40' foot issue is the distance from King Pin to middle of the rear tamdems... No issue.
