Good luck my an, your doing what I wish I could have. I hope you get the job. Stay positive, and let them know you really -WANT- the job, not NEED the job. Because a person who wants it, I feel would do better than a person who just wants a paycheck, if that makes sense.

That doesn't sound like a bad gig.

Good luck @horizonjet. Make sure to show up early. They lock the doors at the start time and will not let anyone else in after that. Just let em know that you want to be a part of their team. Be friendly. Like 74hondo said...the interview panel aren't just bosses. They are gonna be coworkers of yours. Tell em you're the guy who can go out there and get the job done effectively and efficiently without getting hurt or endangering others. All the interview questions are basic garden variety questions. What makes you qualified for the job? etc,etc. you got this man. Let us know how it goes.

I went to interview and drug test in commerce yesterday. I think things went good now on to next stage. They talked about working so much you forget what day it is and your gone from home all the time off much so sounds like no time to go boating. Just have to wait and see what happens now. Pay and bennifits sound great.

That about sums it up. But they pay only get's better, but you can have more free time if you aren't chasing the money.
