I talked to Gray and Zephr gray only wanted a years worth of experence and Zephr wanted 2. I got acceppted with Crete Carrier Corporation out of Lincoln Nebraska. A dedicated route out of Cedar Rapids is pretty nice to start out with. And I like the pay and how they only 17% drop out rate for newbs. Also Everyone I talked to that worked with them said that they had no complaints. depending on when my trainer shows up in the area I leave ethier tuesday night or thursday night. Thanks for everybodies support!!!!!!

this link will show you a breakdown of all the chapters or groups. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/showgroups.php or you can do a general search and filter by state in the members list.

Until you get more established over there, you're certainly welcome to come join us too. (even after!!) As the leaders of the High plains well know, the hardest part of being so big is that it is tough to get everyone together. I want to try to move the meetings around to different areas to try to get everyone a chance to have it in their back yard, so to speak. Not everyone will make it, so I thought this could help everyone be involved over time, just not necessarily the same meetings, unfortunately. You could try rounding up the guys to make more participation, and form your own chapter, as there are plenty available to make your chapter, or at least get them together under the Plains to get your base started like we did. Click members, then search, then advanced search. Put in your states abbreviation, put 10 post count minimum or you'll be swamped, and there are 3 pages of candidates.

Here's a question for you guys. Why is the little dot by my name green, and everybody else has blue? Except for Taz, Fordborn, etc...

I don't understand.
