    Thanks but no thanks about the flat bed offer,that is sooooooooooooooo not me,lol.I did that for SMX for 3 months yrs back and hated every second of it.Jill Brothers is a reefer company.Ill be what they call a utility driver.Same as local.Drive within a 300 mile radius and home on the weekends.Orientation is 4 days long.Recruiter said I didn't need to bring any bedding but a good driver is always prepared,im bringing bedding anyway.Spose to take the bus to Omaha tomorrow.

    I am glad to hear that. Being close home is better than anything.
    Best wishes for you.

    Take the bus drifter, and you will see. It's just uncomfortable and the staff, drivers are rude.
