    Well I applied to May. I was able to postpone my start date with Landair. So also got some breathing room.

    Landair east tn, so I guess melody is who you talked with.

    i was offered 1550 guaranteed minimum and walked

    Lemme tell you that they have infinite ways of making deductions from that minimum. And I wish that was the only thing lol

    Theres as many wage theft issues at that place as there is at usxpress lol

    That's crappy news, but I'm glad I'm hearing about it, thanks. Landair is on hold. I'm checking out May and Ozark Motor Lines, now. Gonna take a look at Bison Transport and Leonards Express here shortly.

    Before I start signing any papers with May, does anyone know if they ever do hair follicle tests?

    How much of a hurry are you in? Get a fairly short haircut, shave off all of your body hair, then wait a month for it to grow out some. You’ll have enough hair on your head to do a follicle test if needed, but you won’t have any incriminating hair.

    I don’t know what that word means, but I have no problems. Just trying research which companies would have a problem with me.

    Haha well that’s an option. I’d say if I waited month I’d probably be close enough to passing anyways and would just wait a lil longer.

    I wonder if Marahoochie is referring to weed, pot, grass, devil's lettuce, mary jane,etc?
