Not everyone has a flexible schedule and can just call in to work and take a sick day, or try to arrange child care, etc. on short notice . If it is somewhat planned though, I could put in leave. Glad it is working out for you.

It's always been a thing of priority and importance in the industry.
When it was more a handshake & nod amongst cronies years ago, you made the time.
Nowadays, with computers and logistics scheduling, it leans the samed way, but more in line with a 'how important is your job to you' mentality...
Shit happens in the middle of the night...you may get a call out of the blue at 2am, will you support?
May never happen, but contracts for incoming freight may require it at some point.
Oftentimes, commitment is measured by sacrifice.
They want to know your level of commitment, and sacrifice.

Entries end tomorrow.
I heard through the grapevine they are expecting over 10k applications. There are guys I work with in Seattle that drive in from Belfair, Tacoma, Olympia that are putting in for this as well.
