Excellent information you're posting.
I watched your "Final Day" video earlier today on YouTube. Was scanning through YouTube for music videos and saw your video. Thanks for all the valuable information.

Day two video:

Day two recap: Started the day off with breakfast at orientation, then we wrapped up our classroom training stuff in the next few hours. We had classes on HOS, payroll/billing, Peoplenet, all sorts of stuff. David Freymiller came in to talk to us for a few minutes. A recurring theme here is that everybody loves the drivers and is glad you're here. They also know everything isn't going to be perfect and just ask that you bring it to their attention when something isn't right so they can make it right. I believe they are sincere about it.

After the power point training was done we got hands on experience with the Peoplenet tablets. That was cool since it was my first time messing around with one. Then we had lunch and after lunch we had a bunch of speakers all afternoon. First was the VP of safety, then we had operations talk to us, then HR came in and went over all of our benefits and helped us make selections. Then finally payroll came and talked to us about how to make sure we get paid on time etc. Then everyone except for the trainees were done for the day.

The trainees met with the training director and he went over some info about the training program as well as who our trainer and trainer's DM are and when we'd be going on their truck etc. The training program is about 7-8 weeks. Typically the trainer won't really be taking hometime during the program, but if they do you get a company paid hotel during their hometime and then when you finish training and get your truck they work with you on giving you the time you need on your first hometime after that since you've been out for 7-8 weeks. They said if you need 5 or 6 days or whatever they can accommodate that but obviously you won't be making money since you won't be running during that time. Once you come back from training you do your road test and get your truck and get dispatched towards your home.

Sounds like a boring time, that’s why I stay Working for 1 Company. These big Company Orientations are long and dragged out

@VinceBlack ...I will be following your adventure closely, as I live in Florida also and narrowing down my search of carriers.

Give you a suggestion. Go out for a week to 10 days. Before you take home time. It'll give you money for when you're not rolling.

It's what I did and it helped.
