    Wish you the best and good luck. I am still waiting for a start date. Because not need a mentor, they right now have a hiring freeze on exp drivers. No trucks really available. Find that hard to believe, but what can I say.

    There is a wait for trucks right now. Friend of mine waited for over a week and had to catch a ride to the truck. He lives in Phoenix near the biggest terminal and still had to get a ride to where it was just emptied out that day.

    Luckily I am still working, and I only live 28 miles from the Columbus yard. Right now from what I have been told, they are approving exp drivers right now, just not giving a start date, depending on the terminal that they are working out of.
