    Well I'm about to find out. I start on Feb. 18th 2009. I look forward to it. I think it will be mostly filling out paper work and maybe some log and trip planning. Not sure what to expect. Guess we'll find out when we get there. I'll be training in Rockwall TX. If that's where your going look me up.

    I was with ta, for 1 year and half. You will have alot of paperwork the first 2 day's, but other than that it's cool and please don't get caught up leasing a truck. Read othe post, about t/a and leasing,Goodluck!!

    orientation is just a bunch of hurry up and wait. alot of paperwork, drug test, physical and driving test. usually only 2 days long even though some stretch it out to 3. then after all that you wait for a truck if it isn't there.
