    Have'nt read all the posts but I assume you'll be driving for Conway?I was there when it was CFI.Yep a week long orientation.You'll also do smith system driving but not graded on it.Hope you dont have anything preventing them from hireing you.Back then when it was CFI,they did'nt check anything till you got to orientation,3 drivers got sent home.The Holiday Inn is real nice and a great restraurant right next to it,can't remember the name.They exspect you to be ready when the van shows up to take you to the terminal.Promptness is their biggest thing.Because their way of thinken is if your late to orientation how you going to be on time for loads.One guy was real worried he would'nt make it all the way thru orientation because he was a half hr late and got an ### chewing.Also KEEP YOUR CELL PHONE OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF,they frown on that big time.
