    You might get it on the 10th if you're lucky but you very well could get it on the 24th! I'll cross my fingers for you!

    I've been seeing stuff like this on the craigslist ads for drivers both in Texas and ND. Hand to wait 30 days for your first paycheck. Ridiculous IMHO.

    You'll probably have to work nights so its good if you prefer it. Days go to ppl with seniority.

    all companies that I applied with including the one I worked for night shift only. seniority gets choise some guys told me they worked nights over a year before getting day shift.

    I just got the all clear on my health screen today, and I was wandering what the next step in this long process is? I have already done my interview and background check all went good.

    Then youre just waiting on them to get all your paperwork which takes about 7-10 days and then theyll give you an orientation date. They only do orientation every other week so you may have to wait an extra week unless they can get you set in for the following week.

    Does anyone understand exactly how the sixth day pay works? Is it that you have to have 48 hours combined, 10 hours being on day 6, or 48 hours on days 1-5 plus 10 on day six?
