    Does anyone know if you need bedding/sleeping bag or whatever for orientation in Indy? I have heard in most cases where you need t bring those but I was looking over my email again and cannot find anywhere does it say bring any kind of bedding or anything like that for when i would be on the road training. Just gives me general supplies (pens,gloves,boots etc) and pack everything in one bag/suitcase. Does anyone have an answer for this? Thanks

    If you are an experienced driver, I think orientation is 3 days, and no, dont think you need a sleeping bag-however if you are there for the full new driver orientation, it would be good to bring a sleeping bag, as you will be in the truck for a week with a training engineer.

    About the full training... I was told I would be in Atlanta for 9 days before I go out with a trainer... does this sound about right?

    Yes, should be accurate. May have to wait a few days for a trainer, may not. Just depends.

    Sounds a little high actually. But maybe it's getting crowded. Who told you that?
