    I would be lying if I said no. There are times I miss it, and there are times I’m glad I walked away! I think this is one of the reasons why I turn to helping other drivers it satisfies me and makes me feel like I’m contributing back. And once a Trucker always a Trucker, I guess!

    A lie can be spotted a mile away. The Bible says "lips of truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is for but a moment." It also says, "prepare for death."

    Speaking to myself as well.

    By far the best answer was to be honest. Called and said I accepted another offer and would not be attending orientation. Simply asked me if the other offer was better pay and said application would remain open for a year if I changed my mind.

    Man, we were all prepared for that yarn you were going to spin them. My money was on it involving alien probes.

    Good for you, sounds like it worked out perfectly. It also sounds like option #2 is a decent company as well.
