    Good morning!

    I finally after years of indecisiveness went to a 160 hour course and got my CDL. I was hired by Melton and am going to orientation on the 22nd. I was just curious everything i have read states that orientation is a week long "intervew" so with that said, what do i wear the first day?

    Every other job or at least interview i went to warrants a pair of dress pants shirt and tie, does this one? what did you guys see people wear ? just asking because id like to make a decent impression and i'm not quit sure with the rule of thumb being dress one step higher then you would dress at work, what i would wear in that case.

    Anyway super excited to finally be making some money thanks in advance for any replies.

    Just wear a good pair of pants with no holes grease etc. And a casual shirt with no holes or grease etc. Nice pair of workboots its trucking they will most likely have you out there working with the truck at some point wouldn't want to destroy a good pair of slacks and a dress shirt on a dirty old truck

    Steel toed work boots. The slipon style are better than laceups, for convenience.

    Did you get a pre-hire or did you wait until you graduated to call them?

    So casual clothes like cap, t-shirt, jeans and boots are cool.

    My pre-hire us getting reviewed. Hopefully I'll catch you at the main terminal.

    Wish you the best and keep us updated on your thoughts and progress when you can.

    ya that should be fine they don't allow shorts though at orientation only in the hotel or off time.

    Hopefully it works out and they get you in soon good luck
