Backing Out of Orientation - What is the downside ?

Don't worry about it. You weren't officially hired yet anyways. Just tell them the truth and move on.

 

Better to do it now than to be put officially on the payroll.

 

Just make sure you GOAL before backing out hehe!

Sorry I couldn't resist.

It shouldn't harm anything. I believe if they use DAC it will be an entry on your report that you attended orientation but did not hire on. Not a negative thing I don't believe as it was voluntary.

 

It will go on your DAC report as you leaving while in orientation. Depending on how scrupulous the company is that note could read "Terminated Employment at Orientation" and leave it at that. You have to realize that companies spend money to hire & bring new drivers in for orientation and they don't like it when you tell them "Nahhh..changed my mind". At the very least you could just be cut loose and left to get back home on your own.

 

Have you done any drug tests also, read of someone finding out later they didn't pass the drug test after they had left and this came back to haunt them later with no way to prove.

 

Start acting like you just got off the short bus......ok maybe not so funny.

 

Wrong...........just flat out wrong..........stop giving advice if your making it up..


Look its simple as this. IF you drug test for the company, it WILL show on your DAC. If you dont, it wont.............


Thats it

 

And you know this how?

 

If they haven't hired you yet then I don't really see how they could comment on your DAC and make it stick. Just tell them the truth and don't ask or expect them to pay your way home.
