    No telling. It all depends on how long it takes for the background info to come back. Each Dc operates a little different from each other so they are probably putting a class together soon for you. Plus you can always call and ask questions to them. It couldn't hurt.

    This had to have been quite a catastrophe for the truck driver to endure. HOLY MOSES!!

    Walmart truck gets stuck under overpass

    By KVAL News Published: Feb 25, 2013 at 10:35 AM PST Last Updated: Nov 26, 2013 at 2:02 AM PST

    Update: One tow truck arrived, but a second tow truck careened off a hillside above the crash scene

    INDEPENDENCE, Ore. - A Walmart truck got stuck under a railroad overpass Monday morning, blocking a rural Marion County road in both directions, the sheriff's office said.

    The trucker driver, 63-year-old Glenn V. Bickford of Coos Bay, told deputies he misread the height restriction sign on River Road and thought his truck and trailer would fit.

    The trailer is 13-feet, 6-inches tall.

    The underpass is restricted to 12-foot, 9-inch tall vehicles.

    Bickford was following the advice of his truck's GPS system to navigate between Salem and Monmouth.

    Bickford was cited by a sheriff's deputy for violating the road use limits.

    The deputy remained at the scene to assist Bickford in contacting his employer and removing the truck and trailer.

    Wreckers were called, but the response time from Woodburn was likely to leave the road blocked for several hours, the sheriff's office said.

    That one of the wreckers wrecked off a hill above the deputy and the stuck trucker didn't help get the road open. No one was seriously hurt.

    Marion County Public Works posted signs to warn drivers to use alternate routes to Independence.

    hang on there woodenleg. since you passed the background check they are probably just waiting on the info from your past employment. my current employer sent everything back but needed one more paper filled out. so it took an extra day. I only had 1 employer for last 10 so it may have went faster for me.

    Hi all! I just got asked to go to CO for a pre-trip and drive test. What can I expect from here forward? Do they have you do another physical even if your medical card is current?

    Twister, any time you start with another company they will always send you for a new medical. If you go back to the start of this thread, it has most of the details on the entire process from my point and others who have hired on. For your pre trip, make sure you practice. Go over everything. Road test is standard, don't shift on tracks, don't curb a tire and most important don't hit anything. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!
