I have my road test and interview tomorrow morning with Armellini and I'm looking forward to it but nervous at the same time. Got some questions for them tomorrow though like how this whole extra board thing works as I'm not to famaliar with it. Will I get consistent work out of training? Will I get bumped from work a lot due to everyone being above me in senority? I don't mind taking the less than desireable runs as long as they are consistant and I'm making a decent dollar. No work for a week will be a huge problem for me (and my wallet). Anyone famaliar or have experience with Armellini Express Lines (Palm City, FL) that can throw me some info and/or tips. Specifically do there International Pro-Stars run 13-speeds? I trained on a 10-speed in school which isn't gonna be to much different but I see there are some differences. I will post the outcome tomorrow afternoon or early evening (and hopefully start a thread entitled "On the road with Armellini)!!!!
Interview/Road Test with Armellini tomorrow!!!!

Last I knew they had 10 speeds.
And if you show them how much you want a job, and willingness to learn, and how you handle yourself,
you will have no problems being successful there.
Good Luck.gearjammer1978 Thanks this. -

extra board is just that, you fill in for the sick, on vac. and extra loads. you stick it out and pay your dues your move up the board and get more work then before you know it your get a run of your own.

Certain times of the year, like holidays, those folks run as hard as they can, PLENTY of work. Rest of the time they stay fairly busy, or it used to be that way. You will not sit.Sleep hours will vary by run , those flowers have to be on time.

I drop at their location in Oxnard Ca. here and there. I see them in all the usual places when you deal with floral loads. They seem to be happy, but I thought they were all teams. I have never seen a truck with just one driver. Good luck.
10 speed, 13speed it's all crap I love my I-Shift transmission.Just remember when you in over in the upper gears you will have to be in direct to be able to get back to the lower 4 gears. I hope that makes sense. Maybe somebody can explain it better.
