    Well I finally had some good luck come my way!! I put in a application with Yellow Freight about 2 or so months ago. I got hired as a dock worker, but the supervisor said that because I already have my Class A and endorsements, that in 2 months or so I can go to their school in PA. I would be paid for 40hr a week at Union wages, which after I complete I will be a full time Yellow employee!! So I'm pretty freaking happy today!!:biggrin_25519::biggrin_25519:

    Congrats :biggrin_25514:

    Just a note for you. You may hear a lot of negative feedback. I would ignore most of it. Yellow has fell on the stock exchange. But, that is simply trimming of fat. They bought a few companies out, that allowed them to pick up their freight. Then folded them when they couldn't make a profit in their current forms.

    Yellow Freight stock has kicked ### in the transportation industry as far as most long term investors go.

    Although I think they should fire half the Knoxville terminal pricks LOL.

    I've spent a little time talking with a couple of Yellow drivers. They are out of Las Vegas, and seem to be happy with the company. Both of these guys are a little older and have been with the company for some time. They are both hard workers, and good with customers.

    People like that can go a long way in the job. . .

    Congratulations.
