    In truth -- you haven't yet really been "accepted"....until:

    • You've made it thru/past orientation;
    • You've made it past any/all training they may require;
    • You've then been assigned a tractor (if applicable).
    Until all the above is complete -- it's really just a dance...to see if you know all the right moves.

    Also: that part of northern Georgia for you is one #### of a commute. :confused: :eek:

    Do you have your own private jet, or something? :p :Air-freighter:

    Or -- do they have a terminal/dropyard near you, somewhere?

    If not -- where/how are they allowing you to park a rig for your hometime?

    If it's a commute -- you'll need at least 4 - 5 days off for/during hometime, to make it all worth your while.

    Plus -- VER-RY reliable transportation to/from north GA.

    Best of luck with all that......:dontknow:
