    So…. They’ll either put you up at Hotel Holland (dorm room with a bed, tv and fridge with bathroom and shower access across the hall), or in your assigned truck. It’ll be assigned before you get there.

    Ideally they want you to stay attached to the trailer on home time, however I had an agreement with a local tow yard and also a police impound lot to drop my wagon.

    If you have a truck stop or any of the above, you’ll be good to go, just make sure to lock the doors, kingpin or glad hand (s).

    Hope this helps you!!

    Gotcha, okay I’ll have to check out truck parking club during home time then and be prepared.
    I’m just stressing since I’ve never done orientation during winter in the snow. I don’t like chaining up, so im sure when I get there they will have me chain up immediately for the road test since I’m seeing snow.

    just trying to get all my ducks in a row is all, I really appreciate your insight driver!

    I’m pretty certain you’re not gonna chain up during the road test there in Mapleton where their terminal is…

    You won’t be chaining up, unless YOU want to on the road. They won’t even send you out if the weather and roads are iffy. Like it is right now. You have nothing to worry about, except getting here to lovely Mapleton safely and all that.
