    Everyone at mcelroy is on electronic logs now. It blows, sitting at shippers for countless hours waiting to get loaded screws your whole week up. Not to mention trying to get home on Fridays.

    I have to questions just how long does your hair have to be lol and when you just start how long is it before you get your first check starting with orientation pay ?and is the mile pay for driving your own car there on the first check I figured my miles to get there and that would 70 dollars so would my first check be for 570 minus taxes ?

    The whole no long hair and facial hair thing is blown out of proportion. Just be clean and they don't really care. Your first check will be after your first week training, which is the week after you go through orientation. Your mileage pay will be on there. When I went through I only got $450 for training. Made it very hard to pay bills once they took taxes out.

    Yeah they take the hair from your arm. If you don't have hair on your arm they'll take it wherever you have it. And if for some crazy reason you have no hair anywhere be prepared to be sent home.

    I have no problem taking a drug test hair follicle but I would sure hate to walk in there and they say your hair is too short and write me down as a fail just cause it was too short
