So-so miles... Did 7600 in two weeks while out with finisher...good $$$. Since being out on my own my best week was 3200 miles and my worst was 1300 miles. I can't seem to string together a few good weeks in a row. Like I said though, there has always been a good reason why not. Don't read too much into, I admit I like to complain just a bit. Bad habit!!! It's going to get better. Overall, once I got over being homesick (that took about 7-10 days) it got easier. Before this I worked in Parts Departments of car dealers for 22 years. Last job was a manager at a little Chrysler dealer. I could barely get any time off and was not making much money. I had spoken to a recruiter at a driving school about 18 months before and he told me that eventually the light will go on and I will realize that I need to do something to better support my family. He was right and here I am. This does take some getting used to, but all in all it's not a hard way to make a living other than being gone from home.

what school? crowder or one in MI ?
I talked to conway recruiting today. very posotive laid back they saide to give them a call when i had things in place and wanted to begin.
I also talked to crowder collge and the woman was very nice and gave me better info as to whom to talk to at conway.
this is definately a big life change. want to get things all in a row. don't want to get out there and then get cast aside.
this process is both exciteing and scarry.
What is the turnover like at conway? why do most people quit? -
-
KansasWhirl and spectacle13 Thank this.
-
TD24, Amen to that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
thanks mitrucker
. so far every one from conway seams REALLY REALLY KOOL .
recruiting saide that when i get done they may still have a north east regional available. that would be good home time at least. thought i would have to wait years for something like that.
then again most people hate to run newengland. ( I may hate it also lol )
I understand not much moves out of here.
I got alot to think about and alot to do first D.O.T. physical, passport, permit, storge of my stuff. wow i need to get in gear. -
Oh yeah, as far as New England goes, never been there, don't ever want to, heard bad stuff about it, but Con-way does offer bonus pay for it. -
hi again, td24 you snuck in while i was posting. actually crowder will be cheaper. about half and that includes rm&board. conway will pick up the other half if i go to crowder. nothing if i stay local pluss would have to do boot camp after.
no one is going to fluff my pillow -
So how do I find out if Conway takes students from my school? nettts Pawtucket ri
-
hi mattp: call recruiting and ask. how many hours is the course? 160 is minimum for conway need to know paralell pking. chance is you will still do boot camp. ( not a bad thing I hear)
sorry my last post was interupted. I wonder if cr england fluffs pillows. LOL
the lady at the collge saide geting my own phys was fine. even if not I still want it done before I go. haven't had a reall phys in years. would hate to get there and lose money because something was up or it would be an easy fix.
Yes VT does have an enhanced licence but have to travel 2 hrs to get it and I can get passport local ( besides nice to have that added ID for emergencies) also works well for the I 9 form only need the one proof of id.
yes conway pays an extra 5cents for newengland. Is that because the miles are low. the roads suck or alot of people up this way are total Jack #####*$
what have you heard about newengland?
remember this is all new to me but am learning alot fast.
