Do companies allow you to attend orientation multiple times?

    ......really? Don't companies put it on your DAC if you fail/no show orientations repeatedly?

    I wasn't in a hurry until I was laid off from my previous employer a few weeks ago. I went to that orientation in september on one of my days off. I think I'm going to go to with Werner. Seeing as how they don't give orientation road tests to student drivers with 0 experience it's pretty much a guaranteed job as long as I pass physical and drug test, which is no problem as I'm young ( 21 ) and in decent/average shape. Probably going to schedule orientation with them for next week sometime at their Allentown PA terminal.

    Wow, thats over 7 months of no driving experience... you need to take any job asap. Apply to any company that will take you. Most will not right now without a refresher, so we're talking bottom feeders, swift, werner, etc. Clock is ticking, apply to all of them NOW.

    Yes I spoke to them yesterday and I'm schedule for orientation in Allentown PA this wednesday. They said I would not need a refresher, and I would NOT be given a road test at orientation, even though I did fail the one with the company I said in my original post, they said they verified it with that company and I still wouldn't be road tested at orientation. I verified that with 3 other recruiters there.

    The best way to do this is by expressing interest in purchasing a timeshare.

    Don't do it man. You'd just be shooting yourself in the foot at werner. USX has a terminal in Shippensburg PA. About 40 miles up 81 from bowman. but more importantly they have a dedicated deal out of Tractor Supply in Hagerstown that might be a good fit for you.
