    Jeff, there are a number of companies who consider orientation to be an extended interview. Just ask up front, before you get on the bus. If you go raising hell at their terminal, you may get a ride out in a police car. Those companies that do that type of crap generally are known by local law enforcement, and a car will always be in the area the first couple days of a new orientation cycle. And at least, they will get mad and put negative info on your DAC. Would be crappy to get blackballed by someone you never actually drove for.

    Mr ed you sure are laying it on thick,lmao.I have never seen any cops lurking around at any orientation.Besides if Jeff was to get mad at the term then he should'nt be out here before taking anger management classes.I've never seen it happen the 8 yrs driving some disgrunted driver gets kicked out of orientation and hauled away by the cops.

    True patty. And that 72oz steak would be hard to demolish. You fail you owe 72 dollars. Not only that you gotta have 2 side dishes with it too I believe!

    Ate there two weeks ago. They have truck parking in back or they will send a limo to pick you up at one of the nearby truck stops. I had the 12 oz Ribeye and it was pretty good. Service was excellent. I have zero interest in trying a 72 oz steak. That is just crazy talk.

    Not as easy as it looks! :biggrin_2556::biggrin_2555:

    When I moved from PA to Phx, we stopped at the hotel next door for the night. Figured I was billy badaxx so I'd easily inhale that thing and get the free meal. After all.... I love steak, right?

    :biggrin_25513:


    NOBODY loves steak that much. My stomach didn't, my intestines didn't, my wife didn't, the cleaning ladies at the hotel didn't..... I could go on, but you know where I'm going with this.

    It hurt... BAD!

    Never again. Never ever again.
     
    NoCoCraig, 48Packard and SheepDog Thank this.

    Y'all are making me hungry! Maybe I'll get there soon! And probably have leftovers for the dog, too!! I have to admit, I'm feeling a little better about this orientation now thanks to all of you on here. Still nervous, though, because I've been out of a truck longer than I was in one and am hoping that I remember how to back. Always was a bit nervous about that. But, I know I can pass everything else with no issues, so we will see.
