    No. Mort wanted me there today, but Sun is my wife's B-Day so I asked if I can come Tues, and he said he would make an exception for me. Then I have a wedding I have to be home for on Fri. Tough week to start but we both knew this.

    Got my load info for Monday. Actually I got both loads preplanned. First one is the port in Jacksonville going to Spartanburg SC. The second one is a drop and hook in Greenville going to Mt. Top PA for Wednesday. Then onto the west coast.

    This is a very common occurrence at Calex. Once they see how you work,they will preplan you every chance they can. Sometimes I've been preplanned for a whole week and not have to speak to anyone in dispatch.

    Thats awesome. This is the first job I ever apllied to, got hired and went thru the process, and never actually talked to anyone about pay, benefits, vacation, holidays, raises, bonuse's, hometime, etcccc. Can anyone fill me in so I don't feel lost at orientation. I usually ask before I apply, but I was too excited to work for this co.

    I'll be there Wednesday also. I won't be hard to find, and neither will you. More than likely you will be the only one in orientation. It's held right there in safety for all to see.
