    Hi all,

    I grew up in NM and can vouch for the fact that the high desert of eastern NM can get very cold this time of year and sometimes pretty snowy. Best to pack accordingly.

    This is my first post since I started school at IITR in Portland on 12/3. I've taken my written exams for CDL and all endorsements, passed all the backing tests and the pretrip. So far, my average score for all the tests is 92%. Tomorrow I have my final school drive test and Saturday my WA state driving exam. Also, I went ahead and submitted my FAST application for Canada driving. I have applications in with Interstate and Gordon, but haven't heard back from either yet.

    Someone told someone who told someone who put it on the grapevine where I heard it... that... Interstate has frozen their hiring for 30-60 days while an audit of their training program is done.
    Any truth to the rumor? or is it just scuttlebutt? :biggrin_2554:

    We got a call yesterday that the school is going thru an audit. IDC told us we should be okay cause we're not scheduled to start until the end of the month. They said it was 30 days.:biggrin_25524:

    Wasn't sure if it was true or just smoke. It kinda freaked me out when I heard as IDC is one of my top choices to go with. Hope the audit doesn't last too long.

    Could you make a thread similar to this one for Prime when you go? I love these types of threads and I'm leaning to Prime myself, so a thread from you would be excellent!!

    Hey Sassy,

    Has Interstate contacted you about your start date?

    Hey Willocouple, No they have not but we just called them and know that something is going on and are waiting on a call back. We are supposed to hear something within the next 30 minutes. I will keep you updated.

    From what all I have read it looks like our start date might being pushed back! :biggrin_2553:

    So far this is what I know. There is an audit and the rumors are true. I just spoke with IDC and they said that it is true and that Don has my file and will call me back shortly. Looks like our date is going to change. :biggrin_2551:

    I'm waiting to hear today also. They're supposed to let us know if we're still starting on the 28th or if it's going to be longer. She said that we're probably okay....god I hope so. It's a little hard to take back our resignations.:biggrin_2554:

    If they're still having the classes at the end of January...I bet we'll be starting together.
