    Saw this on Newswatch 16. They pretty much reported verbatim what John said.Was hoping/praying it wasn't one of the regulars around here that I enjoy reading. Stay safe you guys!!

    Ok thanks few more questions

    Is Hazmat required?
    do I have to take 34 hour reset every weekend? because I actually don't mind staying out on the road for up to a month or two....

    Calex sounds like a really nice small company which is what I need, I have actually thought about giving up on this industry but this is all I know and this is what I love to do so I hope Calex will work out for me just as it did for all of you.

    They changed the start date for new hire medical. It's now the first of the month following 60 days after you start.

    They aren't perfect, but they sure beat a lot of others. 3 years here and I'm just as happy today as I was when I was dispatched on my first load in August of '09

    Sitting in Wildwood Florida 30 miles to my delivery in the morning. I was given a drop and hook in Allentown Pa after I got empty in Hagerstown Wednesday. I was sent my reload info early this morning. I load in Metter Ga tomorrow with watermelons going to Milton Pa for Monday. I'll hand in 3600 miles worth of pay one week to the day since I left the house this past Monday. Louie asked me to do this load knowing I would be able to reload Saturday. My only complaint is that my wife picked up 2 tickets to the Miami Heat finals game Sunday night and I'll be watching it in Carlisle Pa. Oh well, work comes first. Hopefully I will get home next week and get to a game next Thursday night. Be safe all, God bless.
