Midwest Chatdaddy...Love it

Thank you Redtwin. 1st of the month after one month worked is definitely better than what I was planning. I was thinking 90 days. Win!

Orientation start as your first day or is it after stage three and you are in your own truck?

Thanks again!

 

But you are #1 ...

 

Day One you are an Employee!!!

 

Yes! Orientation is 8/24. So October 1st I would qualify. Nice!!

When I was with Roehl, you had to go through their week long orientation before being hired as ann official employee. Guess I was thinking the same.

 

Some companies, not saying Roehl, do that because you probably have not passed the physical and drug test and some even "cull the herd" after they invite "potential" drivers to Orientation once they see and meet you and compare you to the other candidates. Some do that because they probably have a number that don't go to Oreintation after saying they will.

So they bring in 10 drivers, 2 are no show, and then the cut 3 to fill the 5 opening they have.

Abilene works a bit differently. (My opinion) If you are invited to Orientation, chances are very good you will be hired. That's why we have people that may not hear back right away... They are doing all the background checks and stuff prior to inviting you to come in.

Unlike others that invite on the first call. They are just getting paid to put warm bodies in the Orientation seats... To be cut later.

 

Day one at Roehl was DOT physical and drug tests. If you passed that, then orientation basically started the next day.

Yeah, it took Abilene a few days before Sandra Holmes contacted me regarding orientation setup. I co-own a small dental lab business with my brother and just this past week I had to send Sandra some information stating that I indeed was co-owner, things of that nature.

I was also told to "update" my application in a few weeks (as per DOT rules) so that my application is not older than 30 days prior to start date. Soon after, Sandra will send me an itinerary regarding travel arrangements to Richmond. (Someone want to pick me up? I'm right off I-57, lol.)

 

Both battery operated. $22 for the combo package at wallyworld and batteries are included!.

 

ITS YOURS!

 

1st day of orientation is 1st day of hire. Only "benefit" you don't get until you solo out is the $200 referral if someone names you.
