    You are all nervous. Relax and have a good time in your orientation Lol you all have that good feeling we all had in the beginning. You chose this profession for a reason. Your expectations may dwindle but don't let your long term goals get clouded. Trucking is a respectable profession and don't you let no one take that from you because they have higher expectations or lower inhibitions. This job is like all the rest It will be your best friend or your worst enemy. Now the question is how will you deal with it on your own level. 50000 or 300000 dollars a year Your happiness belongs to only you and your expectations.

    one more thing. I don't ride a $25000 bike because I listened to the negs on this site. Your life succeeds on the way you choose it too.

    Yeah your not the only ones...last week she told me to call that Friday if she hadn't called me. I did, she said to call back next week on Thursday. I kinda got a little anxious so I called today. She said that they are still reviewing, said they've been pretty busy. Said I could call back on Thursday. I told her I'm very interested in driving for them. Man I hope they accept me.

    the only thing I expect is too do good job and to make at least 500 a week after taxes at least in my first year I don't expect to make a lot of money to start with
