    I can tell you MOST orientations are basically the same. About 2-4 days long. You arrive the night before, get to the motel, probably have a roomate, go do a physical/wee-wee test the first day then tons of paperwork/videos/company propaganda/road test/etc. They usually buy lunch only. Sometimes, you're at a motel with the "continental breakfast", so you have to feed yourself for dinner. You either get a truck right there or get bussed to another city to p/u an abandoned. P.S. Travel light until you have your own truck, because you will be bouncing around. The less stuff to move, the better.
