Thank you, G-Town. Hopefully, I'll have time for at least a small diary during my time there.

Boy, I sure did! For me, it is at times, best to take my time in evaluating the choices I have before making a decision. I hate making snap decisions, even though it is necessary at times. This wasn't one of those times. Since I'll need my hazmat endorsement within 120 days of hire date, I will start working on that with the help of the HIgh Road CDL training Program I am working through.

That's great news Don. It seems like you wrangled with your decision of what company to go to. Best wishes for your success.
