Just to be clear. Part 391.11 clearly states no carrier can allow someone to drive (perform a safety-sensitive job) until all the requirements are complied with. Orientation is where the carriers gather these people in one place to check off these things. While 391.11 does not specifically state the word "hire" it is assumed to mean that. It would not make a lick of sense for a carrier to "hire" someone until 391.11 has been complied with. This is why you are not "hired" until you get the fuel card and/or assigned a truck or a trainer. I will politely disagree with allow me on the paperwork. Every orientation I have been a part of they did the paperwork during it.

Ok I am confused here. Mototom says he is in orientation. Yet he also says he has knowledge of asking the shop to do a repair and them refusing. If your asking the shop for services, you cant be in orientation.
BTW? Dont quit on them if the trailer is loaded and your expected to deliver it. That is considered load abandonement -

I don’t know what part is hard to understand.
orientation is over a week long. It’s ORIENTATION FROM THEIR MOUTH.
Part of ORIENTATION is doing “local” work for your ORIENTATION PAY of 100$ a day.
Where as being hired and doing local work is 14$/hr. -
It doesn’t matter. Got hired to a different non trash company and start Monday pending drug test.
Filled out all paperwork just need an assigned tractor. -
