Mdavis, most likely they think you will be a good fit if they are going to bring you out. It will all work out for you. Just be ready for orientation.

Tyson, say your name up on the board with the orientation date today. If I can swing by next week I'll stop in and say hi. But with me being here today doesn't look like I'll be here next week...lol. They do have a row of coronados setting there do you should be getting in one of them.

Ok going to go on a little rant here so don't mind me.

For the last few trl's I have pick up there has been things wrong with them that I feel the last driver should have fix before dropping them. Now I have also stated that this company needs good drivers. To me a good driver will get his equipment fix as needed to pass a DOT inspec. and be safe going down the road. I know getting something fix might mean your down for a day as you don't know when you will be out the shop. But just think if every driver made sure he left a good operating trl then the down time for fixing one will be very low. Now the last 3 trl's I have had fix have been with lights, abs system and brakes. Now everything but the brakes I was able to fix myself with out going to a shop. The brakes was a valve issue that took 4 hours and over $600.00 to fix. The light easy fix just had to go buy some lights and the abs was because the wire was cut. Now I know not every driver will want to get dirty but if you are going to drive it take pride in your job. Not doing your job makes the rest of us look bad. I take pride in my job not wanting to give any DOT officer the chance to find something on me. I want to make sure if I realy need to that I have trl brakes to stop the truck and trl. Save the life's in front on me and myself. Am I asking that you be a team Player, yes. To have and keep a good company you need to have good drivers. I am here just like everyone else and earn a paycheck but to also do a good job. The term get what you pay for will not change until a good company knows they have nothing but good drivers. Just my 2 cents. Check out your equipment and make sure that it is good to go before you go.

That is one thing I am adamant about, ticks me off when you get a tight run and end up going to the shop to fix something fixed and you are late because of it, I carry tools, wore cutters and electrical tape.

I carry tools also just needed more then I had for the last trl.

The shop guy will take care of everything. Just get a inspection form from him. Will be the same one they gave you when they sign you the truck. After that you can ask for a copy but that should be the Ono release you need. The shop guy will sign it. But do take pictures of it before you walk away.
