    Sure is better than some out there. How long would it take to complete?

    Maverick aproved my app after I called my last employer and told my bud to varify the otr for me. The girl called to set up my orientation. Only problem now is they say they are only hiring 48 state, out 2 to 3 weeks. :biggrin_2554: I can't win. My wife will freak if I tell her that

    Ouch! Anything else on the chips? I don't know your situaton but I think I'd have to consider the logging for a short time to get the Ol'gurl up and runnin'. Looks like either way you'll be biting a bullet.

    PS Easy on the ol' fat Macks. LOL Never noticed before but they all look like they need Jenny Craig. Hahahahahahaha

    I don't have enough money to get my truck running right now. The chips I was looking to run were with my truck. I could get away with my tires running chips but then I have to have enough money to pay for fuel for two weeks untill settlements start coming in. And I don't I don't want to get this truck runnign with no money in my pocket. I do lots of risky thing but I'm not feeling that risky

    I always liked that paint scheme. And black/lime green as well. I think it would only work stretched out though.

    I had 0 (zero, none, zilch) flatbed experiance when I started driving. Hell I only drove a straight truck before that. They gave me a little book about how to secure loads with lots of pictures, a truck and a trailer, a load of cedar lumber and off to Port Washington, Wisconsin I went. Its all common sence. Never hurts to over secure a load. Will only hurt once if you under secure it.

    BTW I may get out all together. Got a call from a friend that works for GE. Wants me to come on with him. Pays alot more that driving...

    Well I agree Pete379X it would look better stretched out. I think a shortened version would look too dull. I just have to ask if medicineman wants to stand out? If so, those are his colors.

    I gt the application approved by calling my old co and screaming at anyone I could get. So now they want me to come to orientation but they are all of a sudden only hiring for national fleet. 2 to 3 weeks out. I'm still think on it. I' going to talk to Arnold today, basically it will come down to who will get me a check soonest. If one gets the checks runnign faster than they other they will win. I don't have th money to live on the road a month without a check.
