Hey DD congratulations on going O/O I'm sure you'll do fine. Well I got released to go back to work from the doctor and I called Davis and of course I knew what I would hear. I will miss the recruiters. I wanted to make sure we were on good terms for future reference and was told that high recommendations would be made.
For dewercs, if you read this I think you mentioned you were in Calif. and if so your WC claim will be transferred if it hasn't already. I dealt with Brandon from the Orange County office and was treated very well. They were a little slow in paying but did pay for every day. If they reject anything get it in writing so you can dispute it to a higher authority. They said they may not reimburse me for the train ride home and when I mentioned this they called me a few days later and said I'd be paid for the train. Well I start training for Schneider on the 5th. They are putting me up in a suite at the Marriott with 3 meals a day even though I live only 20 mins away. Not bad. I also get paid starting day 1. Well I've taken enough space. Good luck to us all in 2008 and hope dewercs is feeling better. Your accident pictures were pretty sobering.

Thanks jvnd,
I too hope to be cleared soon also. I have spoken to Brandon a few times now. He has all my information regarding my lodgeing and rental car expenses. I am waiting for a reply as to when they will reimburse me.... Who's the higher authority you speak of, his boss?

Hey DD,

Have'n fun yet? I can't wait to get back on the road. Being at home is driving me nuts :shock:

hope to see you all back on the road very soon...

I know you couldn't have read all 51 in one setting since I am sure that after a page or 2 it should have helped you sleep :wink:

Glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for the newest adventure.
