    Oops I texted him and he ignored it, oh well. I still don't have the number I'll try to look when I get back

    Yes it's studog and/or Eton. I had to use studog for the drug test. He's been in business a long time, the guy I rode a long with has been there for 20 years.

    He's probably going to ask why you want the DOT number. Make up some crap story.
    "Some guy in a truck stop asked me when I was telling him about my new job. I didn't have any idea why he asked or even what a DOT number is."

    I can't find Eaton either. Did you give him your SSN yet? I'm über paranoid and he's suspect right now.

    Slam your fist on his desk and say, "Don't interrupt me while I'm talking!"

    He's got ALL my info! I'm screwed! I think it's all on the up and up. I talked to 5 or 6 drivers and they were all happy and getting paid. It's ETON with no A, they just moved to their current address less than a year ago, and I think in 08/09 they restructured, so it used to be something different.

    Sorry, I misspelled it in my post but I searched Safer with the correct spelling.

    Don't get worked up over it. If you've talked to other drivers, and they seem happy, then I'd at least try it.
