    You are starting at a good time. Summer. You don't have to deal with winter while you get used to it. That's a big plus. Did you have a choice in flats -as in 48 or 53 or all of them 48?

    No i already pull and own a flat but they said my BMI was too high to pull flats lol oh well i guess its my loss for being overweight. I got approved for landstar also so i guess i will go there but was hoping to go with mercer. I like pulling flats and getting the exercise and helping to lose a few so i dont want to switch to van.

    What was their reasoning for only approving you for van?

    You would think if your BMI was too high they would make you pull flats to help lower it haha

    my worry is that it is their paper that says whether or not I can do it. Anyway, guess we shall see. Elizabeth in recruiting finally received my driver documentation.
