Furniture Row Express

i ran 3400 miles this week and will start with 1250 after i deliver at nocs.thanks efon for this tip i will be there early sunday and check in at 5:30 on monday.i have an alcohol going to fort collins for weds delivery.that makes 2250 miles by weds.planners have been right on on how they have been planning my trips.if they miss it [which they have a couple of times]then i dont sweat it i just refuse the load.no harm no foul.i tell them i am not running on paper logs so i cant take the load...i havnt had any problems with the planners so far.they just take the load off and give me something nobody wants...just how it is sometimes

 

Alright,

I set a date for the 10th to come on out. Im excited and nervous because don doesnt know if i will be able to get home for christmas or not.. And its my first christmas as a dad.. So i kinda wanted to be here but we have bills pilling up.. So gotta do what i gotta do.
I have a few more questions.
1. How long is orientation and i think i read, no orientation pay, right?
2. What all restraunts are really close to the hotel?
3. Do i get lunch or anything while im in orientation and doing the interview?
4. What should i expect from this "interview"? I always get nervous at interviews.
5. Whats the road test like?
6. Lastly.. How old is don? His voice makes him seem older..

 

you're asking a lot of questions it really don't have a lot to do with anything. do the interview sit and orientation enjoy the ride. your over thinking it too much buddy. don and mark in Denver pretty cool guys you like them. Don is the best, very level headed and funny. Pay attention or you will miss it. I ordered Chinese and pizza delivered when i stayed. yeah and Don is so old he use to pull trailers with Dinosaurs.

 

There is a Ruby Tuesday's and a fancy Italian place if they put you in the La Quinta.

 

start on monday and end on thursday or friday
no pay for it
resturants are close but pricey there is a 7-11 down the road and a village inn resturant thats not to bad they will buy you lunch one day road test is nothing all in all very easy hotel is great

 

as far as getting home you probly wont have any trouble i live in oklahoma and i have been through arkansas and oklahoma every trip so far

 

anybody want to trade a frieghtliner for a peterbuilt? i need more room for me and momma where tripping over each other constantly lol

 

Alright,
Thanks for answering my questions. I ask all these questions to be fully prepared and to come in knowing what to expect. Last time i didnt ask a lot of questions at shaffer.. I was quite surprised on more than a few
Once again, thanks for answering my questions. If anyone is around tje yard next week. Ill be there and would be happy to talk at ya!

 

Dark_Majesty - I understand your apprehension about coming into a new job. FRE really is what you make of it. It is a smaller company with a more open door/hands on mentality. Since it appears your coming from Shaffer I can tell that this place isn't ANYTHING like there. Here you are a name not a truck number. And, you are given the freedom to make your own decisions within reason. Most of the people here are decent and just trying to make a living just like you. Just remember just like every other trucking company out there this one has its bumps but they are not as bad as most stories I've heard in regards to other companies out there. Good Luck.
