    depends on why they send you home, but probably not.

    All legitimate questions and concerns there drifter. But bigger ones first are taking and passing your general knowledge, air brakes and combination vehicles portions of the DMV tests for your permit. My school was four days/week Fridays off, but I went on Friday to practice pretrip inspections. Schools differ. Orientations differ. But usually evenings and weekends are free to do what you please. You would be smart to use that time to study. I did and it made a huge positive difference in my final grade, a grade your employer may see. Hope this helps.

    I have talked with maverick a few times but I just wanted to wait to see if I actually get invited to orientation before I asked them a million questions lol they told me orientation is a week then you have 2 weeks of training on the yard in little rock just wondered if the 2 weeks of training in little rock was 7 days a week or what
