Well, my desire to go back to work at SPCR through High Point has been turned down by Oak Brook.
Had a good chat with Mac yesterday and he said they made the decision based solely on the basis of how far I lived away from the terminal and, if the decision was his alone, I'd be there next week no problem. I was disappointed, yes, but not too surprised, because as anyone who has dealt with Oak Brook before knows, there can sometimes be a pretty severe disconnect with how the head honchos perceive things and what actually goes on where the rubber meets the road.:argue: Mac, firmly tongue-in-cheek, suggested getting an address just a little closer, wink, wink if you know what I mean:smokin: but I want to keep things simple in regards to how I live.
Many, many thanks to wysrob again for the tip and I would still positively recommend SPCR to any driver who is interested in the liquid tanker business. Driver want ads are OK but it's really the networking and 'personal' contacts like this that help a driver find the best, right slot for himself (or her) in this business.
So...it's not quite back to square-one for me as I've an interview on Fri for a spot coming open in May (tanker, yes!) working for a smaller Co than SPCR out of one of their terminal down in GA. I'll let you'all know who it is and how it turns out (no big deal, I'm a just a little superstitious) as soon as I know anything.
Thanks again guys for all the support.

I know its all for "the good" but like previously stated, its starting to feel like every other company. Also they better not cut our accessorial pay too much, im having a hard enough time living off less then a thousand miles a week.
