<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flyingmusician, post: 4355526, member: 61515&quot;]no lol you missed most of it. it didn&#039;t REALLY start till after you left and the cheerleader took over the thread</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>where would you be running out of? that must be a new thing but I could see a lot of lowes store loads and international paper in your future running down there</p><p><br /></p><p>they&#039;re branching out into some new areas. things seems to be slowly taking a turn back on track, as much as it can be I guess from what I hear talking to some of the ones still there. maybe lonelyguy can ask around for you and find out what that would entail and post something for you.&nbsp; they&#039;re really breaking their balls to get new people in and doing some things to retain the ones leaving they would have never done while sdaniel and I were there. I know of at least one that tried to leave that got bumped up to top pay just to stay.</p><p><br /></p><p>one of my former students called me this week and told me he had gotten 2 local offers and soon as they got his employment verifications they called offered him dedicated out of charlotte or a dedicated flatbed gig out of Thomasville.</p><p><br /></p><p>he took the flatbed gig. 200 mile radius, pre-tarped loads, home 2-3 nights a week and weekends and #### good pay. it&#039;s a new thing they&#039;re doing and he&#039;s going to be the first (and only for now)&nbsp; driver on the account. I guess western lost it they were doing that flatbed thing out of there. not sure where the logic or intelligence is in putting someone on a flatbed gig with absolutely no experience pulling one and he said they didn&#039;t say anything to him at all about training. they knew he wanted something more local and more hometime and didn&#039;t want to lose him. he&#039;s a good kid and good driver.....but of course he had a great trainer lol..... he&#039;s going on vacation in 2 weeks and then he starts it that next week. wanted to know if I knew anyone doing flatbed that could give him some instruction in squaring away the tarps. they&#039;ll be draped over the loads but he still has to bungi and tie down and get them secure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
