Just a heads up. You aren't securing a JOB. You are securing an invitation to orientation, also known as a week long job interview. Any undisclosed blips on your record, driving and criminal; any health issues; any reason they deem as contrary to their company's image: all of these can get you sent home. Keep that in mind, and you'll be fine.

Here's what orientation is like.First the company buys you a bus ticket to the terminal and furnishes you with a motel room.Then your go to orientation do alot of paper work and probably have to to do another applicaion even though they have your online app.Then while doing that,you'll do a drug test and physical,come back and more paper work awaits.You'll also do a road test.You being new and go with a trainer,the road test won't be too hard because you'll have to do another one after training.You may get numourous speakers come in explaining their health insurance, hours of service,safety,ect ect.your company will show you how the qualcomm works and how they do things like trips,their paper work ect.When you do take the physical,stay away from anything that would cause high blood pressure because if its too high you'll get sent home.Your company also buys your lunch each day during orientation.
