    Orientation is mon thru thur and dispatched on fri. They pay for a bus ticket. Then u get a cab to the hotel and they will reimburse u for the cab. Just get a reciept. I do believe there is a $1000 sign on bonus. 1st week is $500 2nd week is $250 and another $250 90 days later. I know that is for lease purchase but dont know if that is for company drivers or not. On monday you will spend a couple hrs at the shop in kc then go do phycals and drug test. Then lunch then over to liberty for rest of mon and tue then wed back to shop for road test. I think company drivers is mon thru wed and disp on thur. We did not have any company drivers when i went thru orientation.
