    If he disclosed it, then he will be able to return in 30 days after stopping the medication. (Provided he was taking it legally, of course.)

    I did think of a good question. I know that company guys are forced dispatched on the qualcomm and such, so does dispatch send you on routes where you have to worry about low bridges and other hazards? I got my step dad to pick me up a road atlas so I could get into it and see what to look for.

    Routing from Prime has a disclaimer that the driver is responsible for checking the legality, height and width restrictions for the route sent to the driver.

    its on you kid.

    Okay. I had heard that when you were forced dispatch, you had to go the route they gave you and stop for fuel where they tell you and all of these other things. That's why I decided to go ahead and get that atlas so I could study it and see how things work so I don't run into a situation that will get me in a jam.

    Company drivers are officially supposed to follow the fuel route sent along with the load, but how closely you adhere to that depends on your FM. When I drove on the company side a few years ago, my FM wanted to know before I changed my routing unless it was a 10 or 20 mile "local" off-route detour. You will fuel where they tell you to, company side fuel cards are usually locked to prevent the company guys from just doing what the felt like. During the day, all I had to do was tell my FM where I needed to fuel, and he fixed it up for me. At night you deal with the fuel desk, and they will generally authorize you 30 gallons to get you to the next fuel route stop.

    Do the rooms at the campus inn have irons? I cannot stand to be wrinkled and disheveled looking. With this being a weeklong interview I want to present a professional appearance and do take pride in how I dress.

    I think all of the rooms have irons. Good luck trying to stay wrinkle free once your out on the road. :D

    By rolling clothes instead of folding. Same way as the Army teaches in boot camp. But in the end, I will be hired when I am in the truck and do not have to be completely wrinkle free. The rolling works pretty well at minimizing wrinkles.

    I don't know how they do it but a stack of shirts in one roll helps.
