From what I have heard they treat their employees very well. They are kinda small so you would always have to worry about being bought out by someone, or folding. Small LTL companies are becoming a thing of the past.

i say go for it too, you're not going to do any better that close to your house, that's why i recommended them.
the starting hourly rate is prevailing, R+L starts at 16.20 @hour over here in south jersey, and i know pitt ohio was, emphasis on was 16 a couple years ago. is your ot after 45 or after 9 a day? big difference, since they can work the schedule during the week to cover that 1 day so you won't get any. the only other con i can think of is do you have to slip seat? and for how long? any piece of equipment i ever saw was clean, and looked maintained. good luck with whatever you do.

Well i passed my hazmat test.
But the DMV wouldn't give me the paper work I needed to get the back round check done cuz I didn't have my birth certificated. So now I have to go back up there with that to get the paper work to go to the state police. I had to wait in line for 2 hr and 15 min. DMV is a joke. On top of things they put a Restriction on my license cuz I had to wear my glasses to pass the eye test.

If not, PENNDOT's website has it.

Seems like going to the dmv always sucks. They always seem to make everything take about two hours longer than it should.
I'm afraid I will get that same restriction too, cuz I barely made them dang letters out the last time I was in there...I swear they get smaller everytime I go in there[ 8-| ]

Well i went back and got my letter. This time it was only 1.5 hr wait. Monday they are open to take my prints 5pm-8pm so i will get them done then. It says allow up to 90days. I hope it comes alot faster. By the way people talk it should only be 3-4 weeks.
I will also be calling LASIK. I will not put up with glasses or contacts. BTW any one thinking of getting their hazmat it was an easy test i only read the book 2 times and missed 1 question. If i can do it anyone can. |
