Old school you couldn't be more correct. Everyone here is beyond nice. Howard Mr.Tommy jp and Wayne have all made us feel very welcome. We should code out tomorrow morning. As for the wait you're correct they are setting up payroll and driver I'd numbers as well as waiting on drug screen. Mr. Tommy was not there today. Tomorrow he will be back we will finish the Smith system and off we go one to olive branch me to a trainer here and the other to a flatbed trainer in the Monroe Louisiana area.

I'm in Gulfport Mississippi. We just had driver development come in and chat with us a while. Everything seems in track with the way they do things here which I very laidback. So far all seems.on track.

This is the second orientation and this is nothing like the first. Day one was drug screen and physical. The physical was the most in depth that I've seen. We also did smith system. Day two we arrived at 8am. We completed payroll paperwork for direct deposit and selected daily or weekly deposits (3 sheets of paper). We have been sitting the entire day idle. It is now 130 and are still sitting. In was told there would be no road test and that we could be finished this afternoon but that's still up in the air. There has been no policies gone over no Qualcomm or even benefits. I am assuming the reason for such a short condensed version is we are a small class of 3 which I am the only one with a class a the others will be attending knights school to obtain theirs. I was told that my trainer will be in touch with a meet date and time we shall see where this leads and I'll update as more unfolds. I will say the people here have all been very welcoming and friendly

Please tell me more about this 12v cord I am on one and not sure on the inverter policy where I am heading.

May also want.to look into averitt express they offer pay at some point but I'm not sure how far into the process they start paying you. Conway is another but again not sure at what point the pay starts.

As I've mentioned in a previous post I went to covenant transport. I have been home waiting.on a trainer. I've made contact today and was advised it was going.to be a while for a trainer. Sadly as much as I'd love to be able to wait I need to make money as I'm not rich. I have decided that I will roll the dice and jump ship and head over to knight transportation out of Gulfport Mississippi. I head there Monday for orientation. I hate jumping as I am not a job jumper and know this looks bad. Anyone with knight out of.Gulfport any insight would be great. Thanks in advance.

Srt? Southern refrigerated transport? If so they are owned by covenant transport out of Chattanooga.

Just finished orientation with covenant. I'm currently at home with some family emergency things however I am also still waiting on a trainer which I was told could take several weeks. Being that I am here waiting I am assuming I won't be paid. I am hanging on but not sure how long I can hang on with no income. In the meantime I refuse to sit idle. I have kept the hunt alive which goes against what everyone says with regard to being with the first company a year but I'm fat and like to eat so I will sit tight a week if nothing gives I'll be forced to jump ship as I'm sitting on about 8 prehire letters I'm staying in contact with all of them as well as my company.

I've noticed that with the company that I've chosen there seems to be a lack of trainers. I know this could be a great thing remaining they are attractive to the new folks like myself however it's also hard to get on a truck to get the training underway. Is this a common problem with all companies or is this rare?

Old school that I don't believe and if so it would be the most valuable five minutes I've spent in a long time.
