    just started talking to them last week was told to give him a call today but could not get a hold of him. what kind of orientation are you going for? I was told I would have to do the physical and log classes then just a road test to see were I stand then go out with a trainer.

    I'm going van.
    I'm also a student fresh out of school, so all I will do is a road test, DOT Physical and what ever they through at me.
    It seems that there is a lot of conflicting info on the forms. Every time I've asked the recruiter about things I get a different answer each time.
    I guess when I get there I will hopefully get the right answer to my concerns.
    If I don't like what I hear at     Orientation i can always say thanks for the time and go on my merry why.
    Hopefully it won't come to that.

    No School in Ocala.
    I'm going there for Orientation and then out with a trainer.
    I went to school # TDI in Sanford.

    Did you have fun at TDI? I went back in 96' and my wife went in 03'. We had a blast in school and orientation!

    Although there is not a good reason NOT to go with Swift.
