    I know you wont go for it but check this out, windyhillatrans out of florida to Wisconsin. 2500 avg, load and drop plants on the way up and a paper run back down. avg 20-25 drops on the way up at $25 a drop. only .30cpm but do the math. that's like 1100-1300 a wk. 4wks or less with a trainer at $450 I think. and to top it off , NO northeast runs. I would almost consider it myself but I'm in knowwhereville new yok.

    So, day 2 done. Went through all the benefits and what-not today. Talked with The owner of Averitt today as well, and Met our recruiters. Not a bad day.

    Nuke, what do you think about what I was told? Is there anyone else i can talk to? 172 miles is a bit much for me, as much as I want to drive a truck again.

    Not sure at this point but I can ask around to the folks here and see what they say. But I do know that they are going to pair you with another female trainer, so the closet SC may not have any. I won't go into detail about anything, but I'll ask around the going back and forth. Are you trying to get on as a student driver or as a refresher?

    Student. I don't see why they wouldn't pair me with a male trainer. It doesn't bother me. My trainer with Maverick was a dude and he was the best trainer I've ever had.

    I'll ask tomorrow if it's not answered tonight sometime, but I'm pretty sure it's for any liability reasons they don't do it.

    It's gone from not hearing from her at all to her calling me everyday to try to get me to commit. I've explained to her that I can't find someone willing to drive me to and from Columbus like that. >.> Hopefully I can get something more reasonable or maybe look at US Xpress.

    Hey Nukem, did they check the BMI (Body Mass Index), and measure the waist and neck etc etc during physical?
