    I'm also going to orientation this week, but my recruiter called me yesterday, Friday, to tell me that I gotta be at the clarion on Sunday. He got my uniform sizes and went through the preliminaries with me. He said I would receive a packet but my question is, was the packet sent overnight to my house? Do I leave on Sunday even if the packet has not arrived?..what's in the packet?...I guess I had a few questions.
    It's Saturday so I can't reach my recruiter to ask these questions. I'm driving from eastern NC to TN and I hope to have a spot in orientation on Monday morning.

    check your email, you could also call the hotel to see if they have your information in the system.

    I called the hotel earlier but they said that they still haven't received the driver list, so I'm going to call after 3pm TN time.
    I also called the main number at Averitt and they were going to check with the lady who sends out the packets to see if my packet was sent out. I am expecting a call back soon.
    Thanks MichiganOutLaw.

    keep checking your email, spam folders etc. it should be sent to your email and not to your house. When you get it I would recommend printing it and taking it with you.

    I called the hotel again and they said that a package with my name is there waiting for me. I guess that confirms it. I leave tomorrow morning for the hotel, I got a 9 hr drive ahead of me. Thank you for your help!
