Orientation 1/6/14

My bags are packed and my wife is going to drop me off in New Kingston in a few hours. I am getting slightly nervous about the road test. I have not driven in a month. I am a new driver. Hope all goes well. Can't wait to be working finally. Anyone else out here have orientation tomorrow?

 

Just got to the hotel. The weather is absolutely terrible here. Freezing rain and everything. Hope it clears up a bit before tomorrow. Thank you all for the input! Everyone be safe out there!

 

Day 1: just got back to the hotel passed my dot physical and all of that had my road test, was the last to test. They did not tell me if I passed or failed before I left but I assume I passed because they have me the keys to the shaffer van to come back to the motel. They told me to come back tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well out there!

 

Yea I'm out with my trainer now been running like crazy. I love it though been a lot of fun so far and a great learning experience. I love this company so far. I recommend it to everyone!

 

The New Kingstown orientation was okay the motel was pretty nice. They have a bar that opens in the evening if you drink. Drinks are a little high but not bad if you don't have a car there like I didn't. The orientation it kind of dragged on for me because my trainer was delayed picking me up. The first day was driving tests and dot physical then 2 days of like a class setting learning about the job then I had to do DDC which wasn't bad we drove around and ate at an all you can eat china buffet. My orientation started with 22 people and ended with 16 there was 5 students and the test were experienced. I hope this answers your questions a bit.

Ps. The road test is very easy if your experienced you will do great I'm a student and did great. All your doing is driving a truck.
