Hey guys, I just went through the hiring process at OD and would like to share my experiences and progress. Also, any advice would be great because I'm completely new to the truck driving world.
I have no training or experience. I simply knew someone who has been with the company a long time. That's how I got my foot in the door. I guess it helps too that there's nothing on my driving record..not even a ticket. No criminal background, decent work history.
I called the terminal to set up a time to apply. I went in and did the application online, which is in-depth because they want good workers. Within a day or two they called to set up an interview. The next week I went for my interview. I was told by a current employee that it was a good sign to have an interview. The interview was simple. The linehaul manager basically just explained the job and I told her I was still interested. I went down the road to take my drug test, brought the form back to OD, then they took my picture for my name badge. They told me I would get a call, they just had to wait for my background check to come back.
A week or so later they called and said it was good. Monday August 11 I go in for a class I must take. After that's finished they said they will set up my yard time. The driver training starts in late September. Just gotta do 25 hours of yard time before then.
I was told I will be team driving after my training. 6 days out then home for 2. I'm just really excited and nervous to start training. I'm only 23 and feel blessed to have this opportunity.
