Transport America Orientation went good for the first day. I went through FFE Orientation last year followed by 8 months OTR. I did definitely like the TA orientation better so far. Didnt treat you like a baby, very self paced, and people were nice enough. Good lunch of anything you wanted from Dominoes Pizza, Sandwiches or two topping pizzas and free soda all day. Mostly computer work and of course a physical. Physical was more stenuous than FFE by far, it was the usual but had about 5 excersizes to do to get the heart rate up then it had to fall below 120 within a minute. Road test was about like FFE just the normal stuff trying to make sure you arent going to kill someone. I will post here for the next couple days to give people a realistic idea of what to expect. I really liked to read about peoples experiences so thought I would try to help out a little as well!

thank you for posting this. i just recently went thru the FFE academy myself. was otr with a trainer for appr. 4 weeks. was very disappointed in the training. too many days sitting at truckstops while my trainer visited family members. i am now getting ready to set up orientation with transport america in the birmingham location. i am hoping all goes well.
