Definitely one guy in the august class with a number in the teens. I think there was another guy in the top 50 too.

Lol at sleeping on mom's couch... i dknt have those problems except for the cdl .Do you have to have your cdl? If so ill have to work on that.

I thought that they had cdl training?

If youre 400 numbers away, cdl training was offered to you when/if you went for pre orientation.

[AWOL AGAIN]

They do offer CDL training the when they get close to your number...


but if you already have it, you're golden. What if you fail the road test? People who take the training through FBF often take their road test at the 11th hour to get into the class....meaning if they happen to fail, they miss the next class. They then get it on their own, and get into the next class.

The last thing I did was the physical test. I'm guessing pre orientation is right when your number is called ? Just befors you goto the class

[jojo107]

I did pre orientation a while before. Final processing is right before class.

If you havent been called for pre orientation because they havent reached your list number, then I would say your chances of being hired are slim.

I am 89 list numbers away and I got laid off last month, I NEED THIS!!! Got a stash and getting unemployment. I don't want to look for another private industry job. Been screwed the last 20 years by private industry. I just have to be patient. Plus everybody hiring now is only seasonal work.
