Finally at melton

After close to 2 years of planning,I finally arrived at tulsa on sun.First day was mostly paper work and info on company.second day we did test drive.Test drive was easier then I expected.First time driving a automatic and a spread axle.We also did a smith test drive.Its just a drive to show you are aware of things around you.Calling out everything you see as you drive,such as driveways, pedestrians ,signs drainage ditches.litteraly everything you see that could affect you.People had told me how horrible the heat would be,but it's not bad at all.low 100s so far.I am use to that from San Diego.I did bring powdered Gatorade.Just put a little in my water bottle,just to give a little flavor.we also started securement training.Just thought I would write this thread to give people a heads-up on what to expect.And as payback for the info I received from the longtime members on here.I try to keep the post short as I have the writing skills of a special needs chimp

 

Yes the securement training seems good so far.the orientation pay is 400 cash after 4th day and 400 on last day of orientation.once your on trainer truck it's 100 day payroll.they provide breakfast at the hotel and lunch at class.the students are allowed to take the left overs for dinner.so if you arrive with light wallet it helps you out

 

Today was more securement training.We also did close quarter driving training..straight line back,90 deg back and 45.they don't really expect you to ace them but more that you understand them and have the ability to learn

 

Yeah ,I already got mine..I wanted to come here with everything possible.i even got approved for the Canada fast pass card.but my app expired before I could get up there for interview.I have to reapply for it
