    I have 2 companies that I am considering, but I would like to get the Voc. Rehab. finished first (new hearing aids paid for by the state). Now that I'm no longer pursuing Central, I can push forward getting that resolved.

    KLLM or possibly Conway. Finishing the rehab is very important so that I don't experience a repeat of this latest exercise.

    Not sure how your length of time out of school would factor in but if you have any questions about Con-Way Truckload feel free to PM me. Between me and my bf we could probably answer em.
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    Thanks AT,

    Yeah, I know about their 30 day limit. I don't know what they'll want from me if they hold to that number. Most likely a refresher course from somebody.

    I kind of screwed myself giving Central the benefit of the doubt. I'll have to work around it somehow.

    Length of time is a very good point to bring up. Can you find out what is acceptable to Conway? My grad date was 11/12/10.

    In the mean time I'll investigate the possibility of a refresher course with my school. It should be a piece of cake with me having almost 2000 miles of recent experience.

    Tommorrow during normal business hours call 1-417-623-5229 (Con-way) and ask for Christine in Recruiting.

    I would figure that to be the case with some companies. I'll be visiting my school tomorrow to discuss what's available.

    The other option is to select a training company and go through their program. No mega carriers. Millis Transfer comes to mind.
