    He's hired, which we had no doubt. Just waiting to see if SFI will approve him. He's been driving for almost 11 years, but within the past year, he's had 3 1/2 months local, so they are trying to pull strings...

    That's awesome! Congrats. I know when I got approved it felt good to be one step closer. Today I will be another step closer. It gets more exciting with each step.

    Just got off the phone with my CRM, I'm approved to come on board & get a truck. Will start looking at trucks tomorrow & go from there.

    Hey I just was wondering about the first payments..ive heard from some u dont make your 1st payment til week 3 and also from another its week 5. Which is it? Seems like a good way to start...and can you put more money down than required to lower your weekly payment on say a 1 year lease to a new fl? I havnt seen this covered in other forums...thanks for any info.

    Good questions & I don't have the answers. I am getting a brand new Cascadia on a 1 yr lease. I was going to spend the $1800 for the tripak unit but decided against it. The idle free isn't the best unit but it will be fine for a year.

    First payment is the 3rd week. But remember week 1 in orientation counts as a week...you should have time to get a load in before the Monday cutoff but essentially you have 1 free week without a payment.
     
    Vincent2254 and RStewart Thank this.

    Thanks for heads up...information is good..real good here! This programs makes real good sense for drivers wanting to take that next step in careers through all my research. I'm definitely going to apply for the new year after I button everything up at home, moving into a new place, holidays and continue building up my savings for a good cushion. For now everything I do is going to lead me 1 step closer to that goal of joining ic choice so i can really focus on starting this business venture right and on stable footing. I'm thinking the end of december my app will be in and January is good time for truck inventory im assuming and hopefully they allow me on board as long as my credit isn't the deciding factor. Hey thanks again!
     
    FatDaddy and RStewart Thank this.

    Sounds like you've got a good plan & you're going about it the right way.
