    thats BS. Where did you hear that. It's a nice idea, but not true.

    Read the lease thread... plenty of ideas in there about how to go about getting there.

    I really try to discourage that... the failure rate for first time leases is so high. I really think they're better off running company for a year or two and getting some experience first.

    Looks like I will probably start on April 28th. Is it appropriate to ask my recruiter to get me there on Sunday? It is a 24 hour dog ride for me and a plane ticket is not in the cards. Yikes.I want to be able to rest and not get there at 0600 Monday morning or something.

    Just shy of 8 weeks, with half a week off somewhere in between. All done now. Overall I can't complain about my trainer, no major negatives at any point in the process.

    That's what I did, and I recommend doing so. In fact, see how early they can get you there on Sunday. Use the extra time to go through the phone book sized* stack of forms you need to fill out.

    *A small town's phone book. A very, very small town.
     
    scdude and Charlami Thank this.
