    Will you be taking your State test and getting your cdl the same day?

    I love the line of thought here.
    "Hey, I don't care what my first company has to offer in regards to...well...anything. But the real kicker here is they've gotta have a weekday orientation."

    OP, you realize the hiring process can take weeks, and sometimes longer. It's not a two day thing brother.

    CAB, im not saying that, i was just looking for options. would like to lookat those companies first. i DO understand that it can take weeks. i also have a few weeks before i graduate but thanks for the reminder. ive looked and most of my pre-hire letters start orientation on mondays. just would like to start earlier if possible. i will look at what best works for me but again, thanks!:biggrin_25512:

    Why the big hurry? If two companies offered to hire you, would the determining factor really be that one of them has orientation mid-week and the other starts on Monday. I don't know but I think you are missing the big picture here.

    Arrow used to have 2 orientations weekly. First one was Mon-Wed, next one was Wed-Fri. Most have holidays as well. FFE used to start on Sun night with a log class.
