Little more info, they have a 2 day orientation held in Minnapolis, MN always on Tuesday and Wednesday. They will fly you up on Monday and put you up in a really nice Radison hotel in Roseville, MN. All transportation to and from the airports and hotel are already set up before you get there, so no money out of your pocket. If you are picking up a truck somewhere other than Minnapolis, they will fly you back to that city to get it. They feed you breakfest and lunch both days, so you just need to pay for dinner. Orientation is held right there at the hotel in one of the conferance rooms and lunch is catered by the hotel resteraunt.
Also they do not pay for these 2 days of orientation, to some people thats a big deal. Hope this helps.

I dont know how to type phonetics, and my dictionary is boxed up, but I know its not pronounced COKE or COE or COOK. I speak German fluently.

I know several people with the same last name as that and that is how they pronnounce it. Maybe in German it sound different but in english, that is what it sounds like.

The trucking company pronounces it COOK, as I do. But it can be pronounced COKE, or KOTCH, or COOK.

It is not uncommon for the pronunciation of names to be changed between the country of origin and the country where that family immigrated to.

Wow. I never knew that.

Oh wait. Yes I already did, as did everyone else who posted in this thread.
