Saia and Estes in Springfield, MO

Up in sacramento

 

Oh nice. I've only ever been to Riverside when I teamed with them. Just being nosey is all.

 

That's great man! Keep us posted. Everybody I've ever encountered at Dayton is super nice. It sounds like you got some really good leads I wouldn't be surprised if you heard back from someone this week even.

 

Haha there ya go. Play a little hard to get. You know another thing might be if you have your heart set on Dayton and if Saia calls you back first, it might be worth making a call to Dayton and telling them you'd like to work for them but you do have another job offer but they were your first choice and all that. They might appreciate that and give your application a lil scooch along. I've done it before to much success but idk. We'll hafta see what our Dayton guru @Bob Dobalina thinks of that. It'd be great if they said "oh no we're interested lets get you in here!" But not so great if they said "ok good you found another job" and filed your app thru the shedder. Might be a fine line ya know? But I'm sure they know your putting your feelers out elsewhere, and if you let em know they're your first pick (which I agree with you they should be) they might scramble on it. Worth a shot.

 

Ok so I started wa back 2010, on the dock, and lasted about a week until i hit the yard, I had 4 years of yard experience form Viking ( FedEx) and I hostled for about 5 years, that's when i caught wind of them rebooting the "driver school". I talked to the TM and after he sent my request to safety and they did their check (DMV) I was told to go get my permit, and endorsements (all -passenger, out of my pocket) then they sent me (paid) for a physical and drug test, few weeks later I attended the class, which was at my terminal luckily. A two week crash course, basically, But after that I did 2 months behind the wheel training, with the P&D guys, doing the work, when I felt ready I scheduled my DMV test.

 

3 days, a week at most. They can actually see it right away, but that'll give them time to review it. Then they should email you some follow-up stuff to do. That'll get the process rolling.
