I just finished up orientation and I'm waiting on my trainer. Experienced and in-experienced are in orientation together. The hotel is decent and they shuttle you everyday to and from KLLM. Orientation starts at 7am and is over about 3:30 except on friday, done about 12:30. Experience guys get assigned a truck and if they don't have one for you on friday they will send you back to the hotel and you will likely get a truck and a load on saturday. Lots of paper work to fill out and some boring movies but its not too bad at all and Ed that does orientation is a pretty good guy and gives plenty of breaks.
Let me add this, make sure you have your HazMat or at least be fingerprinted already. Day 1 the first thing you do is a physical and drug test and while we were all sitting there in the waiting room Ed asked everyone if they had Hazmat. One guy said no, then Ed asked him if he at least got fingerprinted and the guy said no. Ed then called the shuttle to pick the guy up and they sent him home. Just make sure your prepared and have all your info because you will fill out another app.
Hope this helped!

Hello Bedrock, I was scheduled for orientation on the 9th of June but Martha called me today and asked if I could be there on the 27th of this month. She said she had two that cancelled out, I told her that was fine with me. She also said we would have 21 in our class. My name is Mike, from Prestonsburg, KY. looking forward to getting back to work and meeting everyone.

Hello Stanley, If they have a truck I will be going out alone, I will be teaming with a friend of mine as soon as he gets thru orientation, he probably will be in the June class. I am trying to get my brother to drive me down to ATL. but he is not sure yet if he can, if not I will rent a car. My recruiter Martha said she would send me a bus ticket, but I have some horror stories about Greyhound, Ha! so I will avoid that adventure. Hopefully they will have a shuttle from the Motel to the airport if not I guess I will be out cab fee. I am going to call and ask about that tomorrow. But starting out as solo driver, once we start teaming it will mean 8 more cents a mile. I have team drove with him before and we get along well, maybe it will mean a few more miles, which is always a plus! Martha told me the same thing physicals first.

Mike, I just talked to my recruiter and got him to change me from southeast regional to over the road. I didn't like what I was reading on here about the regional thing. See you Wednesday
