    Always dress in layers. It is the best way to stay warm. Also, good socks and something warm for your head. Will definitely see some cold weather.

    Do the trucks have satellite radio built in the radios? I have a plug n play unit, but I would just rather pay and use the one in the dash.

    Day one for orientation is in the books. Small class of 5 since 3 got sent home due to blood pressure. Just like any other first day. Physicals, drug screen, road test, and a ton of paperwork.

    Yes there is. Nothing real bad though. Squat and carry a box with 3 weights in it 5 times. Getting in and out of the truck 10 times. Squeeze test 3 times each hand. They also have you do some easy exercises.
