I got the call today that everything checked out and I am hired. Start on the 27th in Columbus, Ohio. As far as driving jobs go, that took the longest from application to hire.

congrats, thats a huge terminal. How long did it take you from application to hire?
 
About a month, but I had to deal with some doctors so that held things up a little. Looking forward to getting started.
 
remember

Remember,one thing when you get started,you've got to make it while it's there to be made.All trucking companys have their ups and downs.Right now O.D.is on a big up,but I've seen many downs.
 
Well it's been 3 weeks on the job and I can't complain too much. I started off nights but have been running during the day for the past 2 weeks. Still trying to get the hang of the system. I've layed over a couple of times and can't complain about where OD puts you up. All have been nice places. Have made about a grand each of the last 2 weeks. Everyone has been very helpful with all the questions I've had. I know it isn't a perfect company but I will never go back to OTR if I ever leave OD.
