    Ok, what's the deal with orientation? Recruiter told me three days, then two: the range then out with coach. Just got to the hotel and they're saying my reservation, like all student reservations, is for nine days???? What the hell? Of course recruiting closed before i got here. Z Help

    Sounds correct to me. You should leave with your coach next Thursday. You could end up leaving out on Wedsnesday or even Friday depends on when your coach arrives and is ready to leave.

    As a student driver...I thought it was 3 days orientation have the weekend off then come Monday it was range work that week followed by road test...then leave out that friday afternoon or Saturday....for 11 days with a trainer..come back that week to test out and leave that friday on your own. ..I could be wrong though..it's been awhile

    that is exactly what it is
    JustNva you will get many more disappointments in this industry
    nothing is ever the way they tell you rarely makes sense
    you need to roll with it all or you will be out looking for your next career sooner then later
    I can guarant ee after 20 years of trying to change the world to better suit my needs is that it is easier to just fit in and in hindsight it wasn't that important anyway
    I have been very well off and dead flat broke
    owned a few homes and been homeless
    none of it changed anything I ate everyday none of the loved ones i was responsible for suffered and in retrospect some of the best times were unemployed and had time for reflection and finding out who i am
    so all that said you get your own truck this week next week or the week after the world will still turn

    I guess it depends who the recruiter is, seems some are open and others like to hide things
