    That was the holdout. Funny thing is, in the last 6 months, I've been to North Dakota I believe 3 times. And they were always different customers. I'm thinking I've probably hit ALL of our customers in that state! :biggrin_2559:

    Now it's time to tackle Canada. Still haven't been sent there.

    Remember, that's just an invitation to orientation - nothing more - you made it through the first-order screening process. The "real" colonoscopy is yet to come!

    Does it mean they verified my information at this point, just not 'me'?

    It means they gave you a "once-over" to make sure there is nothing glaring. That's what all companies do with all driver-candidates. It costs money to bring drivers into the orientation process, so you do a first cut that doesn't invest much money into each candidate. There is going to be a much more detailed look into your background - by in-house folks who have worked as professional investigators - ex-LEOs, along with a serious physical, drug screening, etc.

    As long as everything is koshur, you're good!
