1st Company And Would Like To Haul Reefer...

It's finally here. I have an offer to attend orientation, actually two offers.

Dutch Maid Logistics (thank you so very much, Anne because I probably would not have even thought of this company without your suggestion).

Butler Transport

I have decided to go with Dutch Maid Logistics because they conducted a phone conference interview with me having every decisionmaker (as far as hiring) for the company involved. They asked me to disclose all of the dirty details of my background so that everything is on the table. They took a couple of days to decide whether to bring me in or not and decided that they will give me a chance. The recruiter fir Butler Transport, when I told him about my background, he asked how old it is (2006) and he said that won't be a problem no matter what it is. That to me sounds like arriving at orientation and being told that my background is a disqualifier. Maybe it wouldn't work out like that, but I would rather go somewhere that everything is fully disclosed and there is no possibility for something from my background or work history to become an issue.

I will be starting a training diary during orientation. After that, I will try to post periodically, but my focus is going to be on learning what I need in order to be a safe, on-time driver who is asset to Dutch Maid Logistics.

Dutch Maid Logistics is a family-oriented, company run by people who are Christians and serious about their faith. I am so thankful that this opportunity has come.

All of the other companies with which I applied either declined my application or have not returned my calls in following up on my application.

Thank you to everyone here who has provided me with information, insight, and guidance. It will be time to update my profile soon. (The tab that allowed me to edit my profile has disappeared again.)

Congrats, Kerry !!!!!

Glad to have been of help. Please let Sam (the safety guy) know that we hooked you up w/them, thru this site!!!! Yes, they are very family oriented; about the same size as FAB, where Tom works now. I love the 'unit' feeling.

When are you leaving? Are they bringing you into Willard? So excited for ya, man!!!! Say hi to Luc, if you see him. I forget his truck # dangit. He's the Asian guy I got on with them almost 2 years ago & he loves it.

Keep ME in the loop!!! Yay!!
