    I am scheduled for orientation on 12/09/13 for the bulk division in Gary, IN. I was initially suppose to go on the 2nd but was pushed back a week pending my drug test results. They are bringing me in as an experienced driver which involves 10 days in Gary.

    My question is, after the 10 days are finished and I get my own truck will I be sent home to set my truck up or will I hit the ground running?

    You will go home. Plan on a week waiting for a truck. They will call and get you a rental, just load up the rental with your stuff. Not saying you said this but bulk trucks generally aren't allowed to go to the house. If someone told you that you better confirm.

    Thank you for the reply. My recruiter told me that I had to park in a secured lot chosen by Schneider, luckily that's only 20 minutes away from my house.

    Orientation is 10 days for all bulk drivers, with or without experience. I have one experienced IC in my class that has to go the full 10 days. They gave him a truck in Green Bay then sent him to Gary for orientation.
