Start orientation on monday

Im about 45 souths of Harrisburg right around York/lancaster area, i fly out next sunday to Des Moine

 

HARLEY country

 

Are they seriously making you report to orientation on Labor Day?

 

I wouldn't doubt it, I started Dec 26th. And for new years day they were off so we had a free day to sit around and do nothing which was boring as hell.

 

It is Harley country down here, (actually my father inlaw works there) and yes my recruiter said be there sunday evening no later.....But yeah even if it doesnt start till tuesday, then ill get a whole days rest in. But ive heard them doing orientation on holidays so go figure, anyways ill be there mid afternoon on sunday

Are they flying you out or do you have to pay for it on your own? They told me that I have to take the bus!

 

Only way they will pay for it is a bus.. I drove and IMO thats the only way. im here now, and the bus only runs one daya a weeks so getting anywhere can be a biotch.... my roommate is from PA and few here $400 round trip he said. Another guy in my class live about 30miles from me in IL and took him 11hrs.. only took me about 4 and a half driving....

 

80/81 in PA is a good area to get home, run down south or to the midwest one week and up into new england the next. I live off 80 exit 24. good luck guys!

 

You don't have to take the bus. I flew from New Jersey, cause I didn't feel like riding a bus for 20 hrs or whatever it was. I flew in and was at hotel at noon time Sunday, the bus crowd, some from my area didn't get in till midnight and that sucks when ur tired out from the ride and have to wake at 6am. They gave me I think $150 or whatever the cost of bus ticket would have been to reimburse me. The best way is to drive IMHO.

 

Same as Firna said, they will reimburse you up to the cost of the bus ticket, and i sure didnt feel like sitting on no bus for that long, and its only a 4-hour flight out there, with one connection in Chicago, so i should be there mid afternoon on Sunday

Thanks Carter---hope all goes well
