    What they do is durring orientation they bring in a rep from wells fargo and as long as you don't owe wells Fargo they will git you a account. If you do owe them they have another local bank that you can talk to. Now if you can't do either they will deposit your checks to your comdata card, but that is a last resort.

    Hey guys.... just wanted to say I have been reading this blog for about 3 days. I finally got caught up and am sad to have seen Playmaker left. :biggrin_25521:

    I have a question for you guys. I am thinking of applying to FFE and was wondering... I have an at fault accident and one ticket for running a stop sign on my record. They both happened in one incident so not sure how that is scored really. I ran the stop sign and hit another vehicle so I'm guessing it is scored as 2 infractions. Wonder if I would still be eligible to start training?

    October of 2010 was when it happened. I drive an 18 wheeler now hauling heavy equipment. I've been driving locally though and have always wanted to do otr driving for the experience. The accident was not in the 18 wheeler though thank goodness. If I have to wait till 2013 its not a problem but... was kinda wanting to get going. I'm guessing they only penalize for 3 years?

    By the way Tigger.... Roll Tide! I grew up in Prattville, Al. Dad still lives in Montgomery.

    Thanks in advance for any info and be safe out there.

    And Spat.... I love your sense of humor.... good stuff!
