    I have an orientation set up with Schneider for the 3rd of Sept and leave on Sunday the 1st. Part of the email instructions I received was to call in for a conference orientation call today which is Friday. I messed up and was going by PST instead of CST and now am worried that I will be kicked out before even starting. I called and emailed my recruiter but have yet to hear back from him as of yet. Maybe due to the fact that it's Labor Day weekend. So does anyone know what is said or what happens during these calls? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Best get use to time zones if/when u do start running. Or you'll be hit with service failures, and a pink slip. But other than that I know nuttn bout the pumpkin and there orientation process, srry.

    Can't say for certain as I also Don't drive for the pumpkin, but I would venture a guess that the worst that happens is you get pushed back a week and get to try the call again next week.

    Your car broke down and you didnt get home i time, your cell broke, your dog ate the number.

    Ic ant imagine they would fire you for missing the call, but it certainly doesnt look good.

    your best bet is to show up. If you don't go and they are expecting you then you're really screwed. At least if you show up you have a chance of resolving the situation, it may not be that big of a deal.

    Go there and tell them the truth. Hope you emails and left VMs for the contact person near the time you realized your mistake to cover your butt but overall I wouldn't worry about it too much.
