    Well after over 3 million miles all accident free and over 1 million with out a ticket I have decided to get out of retirement and am thinking
    of driving for JB in one of their dedicated accounts, I have never been to an orientation for a company, for 28 years I ran with my own authority, I would think the the orientation will consist of safety films and a safety talk, the drug test and physical are no problem .

    My questions for Dallas,

    How many days does it last?
    What is the road test?
    How many other drivers are there at the orientation?
    Do they bus in the drivers?
    What bank if you choose not to have direct deposit does JB use?

    BTW once got hire by a company and sent on the road 15 mins after I walked in the door,

    Went to a company back in 82 that I heard needed a driver, walked in the door told them I wanted a driving job,,they asked me if I had a license and if I ever drove a tractor trailer, Told them yes,,they asked me if I could leave that day and take a load from Balt to Atlanta, told I could, they handed me the keys to a year old KW cabover told me to go to a warehouse 4 miles down the road and then head to Atlanta.. Interview and orientation lasted 10 mins,,never even asked to see my license.

    Thanks,,drive safe

    The recruiter is not going to care about your glory days but what the heck, if you are half as good as you talk you will get in easy peasy.lol If not, you can always post on the Bad truck forum on why JB is a crappy company for not hiring a Knight in shining armor.
