Good for you!! There have been some bad situations involving Craig's list glad to hear a success story.

Ya, there is a new school for trucking in St. Cloud from Minneapolis that is real flexible, what school did your hubby go? I had a hard time finding any even here in Alex people say is a real cheap one but cannot find it. Should not be hard is pretty small here, LOL. Ya Glenwood is close. Where do you live now?

He didn't go to a truck driving school, he just went and took the test in St. Cloud. We were just in Alex this weekend cause we spent new year's at the cabin (ate at Tennessee Roadhouse!). Now we are living in the cities-Lino Lakes. My husband just finally got an interview with Missouri Basin in Ross and we are waiting to hear back hopefully this week about it. But they don't provide housing so we are having some difficulty there. Where are you guys at in the process?

What are the detail for Baker Hughes training in Bismarck, also what were you hired for? As many details as you can provide would be great. I live in Bismarck and have heard nothing about this.

Everything over 40 hours is 1.5X per federal law. Adding in 40 hours paid straight time on the week off would put you over 100k.

I also thought time and a half was federal law although some companies in North Dakota do not pay an overtime rate. North Dakota isn't required to pay time and a half is what we were told. I always thought when determining between federal and state law, they had to go with the law most favorable to the employee. Anyone??

Fed law always trumps state law
