Does that mean you're going back home after orientation to wait for a trainer or are you just going to leave your car at the terminal and hit the road?

Kinghunter...let me see if I'm reading this correctly. Your profile shows you have 0-1 yrs experience. Your posts seem to suggest you're going to your very first orientation yet; you have nearly 4200 posts on this board. Wow. You must have a little extra time on your hands huh?

Tiger,
I have been to a couple orientations. I also drove for a O/O as a second seat driver.

No offense intended King. I've got ALL KINDS of time on my hands right now. lol How long did you have to wait between the time you were approved to go and when you were scheduled?

Spoke to my recruiter and found out:
Experienced Drivers:
You will take a road test
No work well
Trainees:
No road test
No work well
KHtiger58 Thanks this. -
# King....take it you have read my earlier posts? Unlike so many trying to get in to the industry, I have both experience and ample cash reserves; quite the opposite of my situation in 99 when signed up to 'lose my mind' with a CDL. The absence of 'recent' OTR experience limits the scope of potential employers.
Back when I got in, companies were expanding so fast, the recruiters asked if you could wait to take a dump until you got to orientation. At this point, I can't even get an estimate as to when this is suppose to happen. Am half way between Ocala and ATL. Either one would work for me but I am told Ocala is harder to get in to right now. The Gods seem to like you.
Could ya send me some of your mojo?

Just to clarify, approval was quick; orientation start date..."not so much"

Good luck on getting to orientation. Swift may not be the best with this economy; However, we can not have the cream of the crop.
