    I had to use them 3x yesterday. I'm to the point that if it isn't snowing out I don't even put a jacket on. I'm out of the mountains now with a bunch of very happy customers (and agents). I must say I forgot how pretty Tahoe was. And my phone has even rung today with an agent asking if I would go back up. Of course I said $ talks. To me they have more than paid for themselves. I bought mine from the distributor and had them overnighted. But they where the same price as Iowa 80 so I'm sure that you can get them cheaper.

    Was told Thursday that I should be getting called in next week but still haven't heard when my trailer might be coming in. Recruiter sent me a textext yesterday saying the trailer department still has no idea either. Thinking I'm starting to get played or am I over reacting?

    Played? How? Are you a quality guy? If so I would say (but don't know) that your just on the bottom of the list. You will get one when an extra one comes in. Now before you go off I already stated that I don't know this. It's just a guess.

    My guess is that he ment you will be approved but you won't get an orientation date till they have a trailer for you

    In that case, maybe you said you wanted a new trailer and they need to get rid of used ones. Or (like someone said) there are just a ton of people ahead of you (30 ppl in orientation? 60 ppl a week?). Mercer isn't good at games. Normally they a blunt honestly truthful with you. I can't tell you how long it will take. Took me a matter of days, takes some months. If you have 10 employers it might take 10 months. If you have had 1 then it might take a day.

    Short answer, your overreacting.

    I must admit I feel very lucky I got approved last January quite my job on the 20th picked up my (new to me ) truck on the 30th and was sitting in orientation February 2nd most people who started 45 days later have been having to wait on trailers

    True, I was in the same boat. Was working, got approved in a matter of days and set my own orientation date. 2 hrs later they confirmed that they would have a trailer for me. No wait on my part at all.
