    I finally talked to a Schneider recruiter, got the info I was looking for and agreed to go with them. I start orientation on the 27th in Charlotte, which is awesome for me since I live half an hour north of their terminal.

    Any advice is surely welcome, prayer is encouraged and I thank you in advance.

    good luck.

    advice?

    Act like orientation is a week long interview. Dress appropriately, use courtesy and pay attention.

    most importantly, NO DRINKING WHILE YOU ARE THERE!!!!

    I average about a beer a month so no drinking won't be a problem. I always try to act professionally and courteously, this would be no exception.

    I'm a little worried about the agility test.

    You already know my feedback...good luck mate!

    The no drinking policy was annoying, but certainly no deal breaker.

    I had to throw away 4 very cold, tasty and rather expenisve Samuel Adams...as did my roomie.
    Being aware of this policy beforehand would have saved me $10.

    Agility test = breathe

    Just keep telling yourself that the whole test and DO it. Otherwise you'll spike your BP and heart rate.

    There going to let me come in a do it tomorrow so I know now rather than next week. My second choice is still a go if this doesn't go well. Thanks for the responses, I'll report back tomorrow with the results.

    Seriously, I watched a 33 year old Iraqi vet fail his, just as I walked in the room.

    I'm 52, I passed. He was in a hell of a lot better shape than I've been in for years.

    He was allowed to retest. But still...
