    So after a month of trying to re-enter the workforce after my accident (friend hit a tree with me in the car, broke my arm bad) and getting laid off from my gas hauling gig back in December, I finally decided to take FFE's offer. They let me bring Jake, my boxer, and I see them roll past my house quite a bit. So I am thinking I can at least stop by home on a run here and there. I talked to a fella at the local Pilot and he seemed to be happy. Said they had some issues in the office recently because they "trimmed the fat" and had to let some people go. But over all he said they are minor issues. So I am going to give them a try.

    I am wondering if anyone knows where their facility in the Chicago area is? An address would be great! I am not going to take the nasty Greyhound from Columbus, Oh. to Chicago. It's cheap enough for me to fly, but I need to know what airport to fly into.

    I know thats one of their logistics places. But I wasn't sure if that was where they did orientation there or not. Looking at street view and satellite images of that address I don't see trucks there, just trailers.

    It is 3 days, but I had the choice of Dallas, Atlanta or Chicago. Being as I am from Columbus, and I can get on Southwest Airlines for an hour flight at $75 I chose Chicago. But me and the recruiter haven't finalized anything yet. That's why I just know it's in Chicago, not where. But either way it looks like they are around that part of town and thats not far from Midway Airport, which is what I was needing to find out most. Midway or O'Hare.
