    OK they probably are going to put you with a mentor for at least 100 hours. Will give you all the details in a while.

    OK sorry truck was in the shop and once it was out they had 3 preplans on me that had to be done in a hurry.
    Orientation is boring lol. Drug and physical are done right there and fast so not bad. Both are at no charge. The hotel for orientation is not bad but a few exits away from the terminal. The one for drivers is a stones throw away and is miserable. Other then that everyone seems so far very good and nice.
     
    robbiecox6 Thanks this.
