    You will sign a mountain of papers. Then sign some more papers. Finally you will sign papers. Good Luck.

    Good luck to ya man! On top of the aforementioned signing of papers, id wager a guess of DOT physical, drug test, road test, and safety videos.

    Oh it will be lotsa fun! They got poker, slot machines, even a roulette wheel. When you graduate orientation. A bunch of showgirls jump you and molest you. :)
    Seriously....congrats... I understand Swift/Knight has gotten much better. I know one of the best backing videos I've ever seen was from Swift.

    We all gotta start somewhere. Get your sea legs for a year or so, be a safe driver, and you can start shopping around for different companies. I advise you avoid any lease purchase programs that are offered. Good luck!

    First, dont sweat the small stuff. take your Social, Birth Cert. best call your recruiter, take a dufflebag for your clean clothes, and one for your dirtyclothes sleeping bag, pillow.

    Remember you will be going out with one of there trainers, just get thru it to your own truck.

    During orientation -- stay away from alcoholic beverages.

    Bottles & big rigs don't mix well.
