Going to Van Buren for USA orientation...

Hey folks!

I just graduated from C-1 Indy and am set up for orientation with USA on the 27th of this month. C-1 went great, good instructors and good people in general.

The only thing I found disturbing was that people kept getting dropped by their carriers all the way up into the 3rd week of training with little or no explanation. Other than that I had a great experience. The instructors taught us how to pass the state test and get our CDL-A just like they said they would. Some of us passed on the first attempt and some didn't.

Here are my questions...

When I go to my orientation, am I still in danger of being sent home without a job for some unknown reason??? People were getting dropped all the way into the 3rd week of C-1 so this has me a bit nervous... This concern aside I am very excited and anxious to get out there and actually start learning the job. Did folks get booted out of orientation when you all went through it??? And if so, why?

Thanks for any replies!

 

Thanks for the reply. Do you work for USA right now??? I don't have anything at all on my background, It just seemed odd that the background checks were taking so long.

 

I thought that stuff was all screened during C-1 training. That is why folks kept getting dropped then...

 

Thanks motofish.... I am looking forward to going to my orientation. What is the driving test like? Did the guys who got sent back to Indy lose their spot with USA or did they get to come back later?

Thanks for your reply.

 

Thanks for the heads up... My mind is a lot more at ease now.
