    Have you attended an orientation? At all? Did Decker send you to school?

    I ask this because I'm not seeing certian info... IE Application, drug screen, orientaion, etc, etc In your post.

    If you browse through the forums, you'll see many new drivers are being asked to wait for 6 weeks or more.

    It's tough right now. Just call them until you get an answer, is all you can do. Or move on. Either way, you're still looking at another 2-3 weeks.

    Paperwork cost me a job this year. It delayed my orientation to the point, I was placed on hold. Now the company has froze hiring.

    It worked out though.

    I know when I go by the Decker terminal in the Quad Cities that there are a lot of trucks sitting. Might want to start working on a plan b.:biggrin_25525:

    Always have a plan B, even in good times.

    I say that, and I'm just as guilty of beating a tired horse to death, as most. I dislike firing out a dozen applications at once.
