    LOL....

    I need to stop by again. I used to teach a course on GPS for them, plus I have some more MCRA's to give them.

    Good for you; you don't need school job placement except as a last resort. Usually the schools push certain companies; probably for some type of financial incentive. Most schools really push Werner, US Express, Schneider, Swift, but you can do better.
