    it was open for about a month before I had enough time in on what I hired in on. They require a set time(usually, depends on the relationship with DBL) before switching positions. I switched at 7 months as an employee but 6 months actual driving time.

    As far as the idle sensor, I have yet to not idle my truck when I wanted to. I run out of Lebanon, but spent all my time so far down here in TX, and if I'm in the truck it's running.

    I'm loving this exhaust on my Cascadia that dumps out under the rear end, keeps that sensor nice and toasty even when it cools off at night. Might work against me during the winter though LOL.

    We are working some long hours right now with the springtime ramp up at the stores. If you live 60 miles away, you wont get home till the weekends. And weekend work is voluntary.

    Any updates on this Dedicated Home Depot out of McCalla? Headed for Orientation next week. I live about 4 miles from the DC. Just retired from the Coast Guard after 21 years and drove a couple of years CDL A on special assignments so I received 5 years experienced pay for my military time.

    I've read that the main pain is security at the DC, has that gotten better?

    100% Drop n Hook, so I'm dropping my loaded and picking u an empty? I read that there were live unloads, but possibly not anymore?

    Any info on the DBLs?

    Will I pickup a truck in ATL or McCalla?

    Any extra info you have is very much appreciated. Thanks a million!
