    Haha thanks man! And that's awesome about your pay. Unfortunately tho I don't think I'll be joining ya. What they had for me being in St Louis wasn't quite what I was wanting. Originally it was thought out I could do weekends at home, even if for just a restart, but Brent contacted me today and it'd be more of a restart whenever I get through, or I could be out longer and request weekends, which they'd honor. With me having my daughter on weekends every weekend it just wouldn't work out. I am SO glad however, that they were up front with me and let me know this. Brent even said "I just wanted to be honest with you before we went any further, you meet our requirements I just want to make sure we can meet yours". Absolutely class act. Can't say enough about the process even tho it didn't go how I wanted. So many companies (read: almost all) will say anything to get you in then "welllllllll... change of plans" stand up guys all the way at GO Express in my book. Don't worry tho @bzinger , I still see ya somewhere on the road, you still got a McChicken comin to ya bud.

    Well that sucks ! Lol..I really thought st Lou wouldn't be a problem .
    Greater o and I definitely got off to a rocky start but I'm dam glad I stayed now .
    They definitely have opened up the checkbook every time I've hit a snag and brents word has been good as gold .
    Not happy about your not coming on board but glad to hear they were honest and reinforces they want drivers to retire here .

    I have to agree with you. Jarrod was the same way with me. The schedule for the Oregon freight requires the driver to be away from home every weekend and that won't work for me either. At least they are very honest with you and up front. I wish they had some flexability with days off at home.

    Yep I know. Everything else was spot on what I wanted to hear and then some. That was just the only hiccup. It's always something I guess.
