    I will be going to orientation on the 17th at the Lenoir City, TN terminal. Was wondering if anyone had any info on what I should expect from this terminal. I know with multiple terminals, some are better than others. Just wondering how this one, including the people, ranked.

    I hear you don't want to smoke anywhere but inside the circle marked on the blacktop. And you have to wad the cig butt up and put it in your pocket and dispose of it at least 25 miles from the terminal.

    Do not smoke anymore, except an occasional cigar, so I do not have to worry about that one lol.

    I'll take a dash cam, it'll block more of the sun on the prostar, or I could get some tint?
    We're not much help, but good luck at LC
     
    DADof3 Thanks this.

    It's the newest terminal Crete has. I was there last weekend and people were smoking just outside the door. Also there were 10 or 12 new trucks there, I looked to see if there were any cameras in them, and didn't see any. It's a nice terminal,justnothing around there.

    Nice place. Out in the middle of nowhere but that's not a huge issue. And yeah, they usually have a bunch of new trucks around but don't count on getting one...

    Well today was the first day of orientation, though they don't really say today is orientation, it starts tomorrow. Today was just the road test, physical, drug screen, and beginning of paperwork...and lunch. It was very chaotic as there were some office people out for vacation and/or illness. One of which was the PA or Nurse Practitioner (I forget which,) so we had to load up and go to the clinic in Knoxville, which took FOREVER.

    This facility is very nice. Most everyone was either really nice, or at least pleasant. My driving test instructor said I was definitely an A+ driver and kept complimenting me on my driving. Talk about making you feel really good! They are not just out to point out what you are doing wrong around here, but praise you for doing things right. I like that. Well I am off to get some food and then to bed. Hope every has safe travels tonight and tomorrow.

    Did they give you an option to go to Lincoln or Lenoir City? I see you are from Illinois. Must be deep southern Ill.

    I actually moved back to Clarksville, TN in November. That's why I had to leave my job. You have to live within 50 miles to drive for the company I was at and I was almost 300 miles away. I was going to keep driving it every other week, but thanks to union crap I was forced out.
