Starting with Schneider out of Charlotte on 30 Dec 2014-Any advice?

Hello all-I will be starting oreintation with Schneider National at the Charlotte location on 30 Dec 2014. They said that I have the option of OTR or Regional, but I will have to let them know at oreintation. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on that subject and if there is anything I should bring that is not on the packing list (Motor carriers atlas, GPs etc.) I thank you for your responses in advance, and have a good evening.

 

Thank you for the advice. The only worry I have is that the person telling me where to go and what to do may not remember my drill dates-I am in the National Guard. They assured me that it would not be a problem, but so did my current employer. When I was last deployed, I had to get JAG on them due to they're actions towards me before my mount up. Have a good evening, and I appreciate the information greatly!

 

Roger that-I believe that is the way I will go. There is a dedicated account here in Statesville NC that the recruiter mentioned, but I have talked to some people that work there and they say they are very slow and they have laid off alot of people recently. I certainly do want to stay busy. The only days I need to get back are my drill days, ol' Jody took care of the wife while I was deployed, so now he is having to keep her up-lol!

 

Gotcha- I don't even know where I-35 is, I guess I have alot of learning to do. The only Interstates I know of is I-85, I-77, and I-40. My hometown is the crossing of I-77 and I-40. I just hope that oreintation goes smoothly and that I don't make too many mistakes. It sounds like regional would be good for me, hopefully I can get a job where I get to unload stuff so that I can get some pt in. My biggest worry is eating right- eating all of the wrong stuff and not moving around alot could be a disaster. Thank you all again for the information.

 

I will have to research that one-thank you.
