    You will start with a basic road test. Nothing major, just don't do anything stupid. After that you will do a skills course. It consists of a turning maneuver and a couple backing maneuvers. Take it slow, don't try and do a lot of blindside backing and most importantly do not hit anything. After that you are looking at classroom activities, paperwork and logging.

    I will have a video posted on the utubes in a couple days about this process if you have not moved on since. Take care all. I would post the link here but believe that is against forum policy?

    I finished orientation last Thursday, I thought everyone was great, there were five of us that completed orientation. A driver named Jimmy took us on the road and skills test, all went well. I will be going out with my trainer next Tuesday, I'm looking forward to starting. So far my experience with everyone that I've met at May has been good. I look forward to meeting more May drivers in the future. :Tank truck:
