<p>[QUOTE="Atlas117, post: 3387899, member: 115939"]1. You may want to contact recruiting about training/requirements - I don't want to tell you incorrectly. I don't think any more training would typically be required, as long as you have your CDL, but they may require some experience first. I'm not sure how much they're hiring out of CDL schools with no prior experience (the obvious exception being Celadon's new school...)</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Earned Days Off policy is one day off for every seven days out - you could take one day off every other weekend and then slowly build up some extra off days on top of that. 12 days out/2 days off on a continuing basis will take you into negative EDO fairly quickly. 13 days out/1 day off is more sustainable. Going home that often may not get you the miles you need to generate a good paycheck - but only you know what kind of pay you need. How do you feel about running Canadian freight? The drivers on the Canadian Regional fleet get home every weekend if they want to. They can also get some extra time off and extra pay for Canadian runs. If you want more details you can contact Indy dispatch and ask for the Canadian Regional dispatcher working that day. They would know more than me. </p><p><br /></p><p>3.

It would probably go into the system as a lower priority routing, but it can be done.

No; none of Celadon's U.S. drivers run in Mexico. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
