    Everything I do from now until I get the call is in pencil. I’m not going anywhere without my phone but I’m not putting everything on hold because I’m waiting on a call.

    Very few. With all the obstacles that get in the way it is very easy to get discouraged and go another route

    Been 2 weeks tomorrow, still no call. I think I was buying the hype that it would be fast, now I’m thinking maybe not so fast

    My guess is it will be closer to 2.5 months than right away

    if you have 1 year exp i would try lone mountain trucks. there payments are way cheaper and monthly not weekly!!! it's always a bad idea to lease a truck from the same company you depend on for your revenue. ALWAYS!!! and don't think about chasing the miles think about chasing that cabbage!!!
