I am have been hired on with Ashley Distribution. Got Lucky to get on with a really great company.
I have met the trainer and he said he trains, not sleeps. He said his job is to make me the best possible in 6 weeks. They pay 500 dollars a week through training, wow. That will help alot because I am broke not working and going to school. I will start first week in January. Graduate school 12/20.

Thanks for the insight, Roll on safetly amigos.

Ashley is a great company and I love their black and gold Vovlo 780's. One thing to keep in mind is that you will have to learn to drive and back into very tight places and back into parking lots in the middle of traffic. They deliver to furniture stores and most of them were never set up for trucks....big or small.
I've never worked for them but I use to deliver to some of the same stores as their drivers.

You are a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu, and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist. You were never even born. Anonymity is your name, silence is your native tongue. You are no longer part of the system. You are above the system, over it, beyond it. We are "them." We are "they." We are the Men in Black.

We either hang together or we will be hanged seperately. -Benjamin Franklin 1767

Yeah, It is going to be alot of fun at some of those stops. I am going into this as positive as possible, because if this career doesnt work for me, I dont know what i will do. But, yeah your correct about the tight spots. My pops worked for Ashley for 3 years and has warned me. But he is happy i got on with a respectable company.
