    Made it through school. Getting sent out to Vandalia Nov. 9th for my orientation. School was great. Had some really good instruction out there. Anyone headed out there, don't sweat school at all. These guys will get you behind the wheel in no time. Was pretty cool to see guys get behind the wheel and drive first day ever around a truck. They don't waste time getting you driving.

    how long has it been since you went?? we didnt get paid a #### dime.
    and usa dropped me tuesday of my second week...but pam picked me up so i was able to finish.. they are going to bay me 300 a week when i get on a trainer truck..im home and waiting to get picked up now...usa wouldnt tell me why they dropped me but i have a feeling it was because i had a pot ticket 5 years ago... other than that i have a perfect record..i think they book those classes like airline seats if they bring too many they trim a few. so far pam seems easy to deal with.. we shall see how it goes.

    We started off with 20 students in our class all of which were USA drivers except two. One was a PAM driver the other was with a local outfit. By the time we were done, 13 finished and they all were USA drivers. Our PAM driver went the first week, which was right after drug testing. Nobody said for sure if thats the reason he was pulled but timing was pretty close. High blood pressure was another reason we lost a few students. Our pay starts our first week on the job as well.

    I'm supposed to attend the USA truck orientation in Vandalia this Monday. Can somebody tell me what to expect when I get there? Getting there by Greyhound out of Flint, MI. How do I get to the hotel from the greyhound terminal, and how do I get to wherever orientation is supposed to be? I though I saw a letter on USA truck's site a while back but I cannot find it now. Thanks in advance.

    I attended my orientation in Van Buren. So im not sure how much different it is in Vandalia... Did they give you a number to call so that you can get a shuttle or a ride? If its like Van Buren- you should have a packing list with a phone number on it to call for a shuttle to the hotel. Then in the morning there will either be a shuttle or USA bus that takes you to the terminal from the hotel. Good luck to yah...
