    Oh no he didn't! lol I won't go there because I was taught better than to pick on those who are less fortunate. Living in California must be painful enough without me having to remind you.:biggrin_2559:

    Lucky for you, you've got a rip cord in W/S. If things go further downhill in Cali, you can always pack up and move. Cali ain't all bad and it would be great if you got rid of the traffic, improve the roads and cast all those horrible politicians in to the pacific for bait.

    I am glad this thread has been helpful to people looking at WS. I am 2 days from my 90 days. WOW time flew by. I am still very happy to have chosen WS as my company they have been good to me so far. Some minor equipment woes but I have been kept running.

    Can you take your truck home if you live close to the terminal in So. Cali. ALso, how exactly does one fail a background check if you dont have a criminal background?

    I read this and Chris's post and found them to be an excellent learning tool. After a month of researching I have decided to go with W&S. It was both of these "realality" post that made up my mind. My brother drove for Swift for a few years and never had serious issues, but after hearing about W&S he wished he went with them.
    Thanks for all the great information.
