    Good for you the truck is at Freightliner. I was in Camp Hill for 9 days when my front bumper fell off, plus I had a cracked windsheild and my passenger door wouldn't open. It was also past time for the PM. I sat at the terminal for 6 days, then 2 1/2 days at the motel, and then another day at the terminal before I got a load out of the new terminal in Shippensburg.

    To answer your previous question, I drive an 06 Freightliner Century Classic. Been running hard the past couple of days and didn't have time to come on.

    They do have a training program and the requirements for getting into it are different depending on how long you've been driving. A new driver has to be employed by USX for 1 year...I don't remember the time for an "older" driver but I'm thinking it might be 6mos with USX.
