    It is a 3 day orientation. First day is usually a drive test followed by a skills course, then a UA. Second day is policies, Qualcomm, logging and such. Third day is paperwork and hiring mumbo jumbo. It seems pretty short but it can be a bit boring. Just pay attention and soak it all in. The more you take in and absorb, the easier the training will be.

    It's a little slow right now,tis the season though I guess.
    When things pick up the miles are pretty good,it's all about good communication with your DM and of course building some seniority.
    I've been through Colorado sporaticly,sometimes twice in a month sometimes not at all.
    Again talk with your DM,if you want home time in Colorado and you have a good relationship with him/her they'll do their best to get you home.
    Request your home time as early as possible and remind them once in a while it's coming up.
    I've had no problem getting my home time at May.

    I usually stay on 5-7 weeks. It all depends on your preference. If you go 48 and do refer you will get through Denver slightly more than western 11. Not a lot of dry freight going to Denver.

    I have no issues getting home time. If I need to be home on a certain day, I will request two days before that day in case I get home a day late. As Y2k mentioned, have a good relationship with you DM will get you far with May.
