Orientationnnn

It's painless, other than sitting. You'll have trip planning, they want you to actually write down your plan. That was strange to me, I'd always done it my head. I think they had map reading as well, company policies, why they think unions are bad video, and some other things I can't remember. They have a simulator as well, I broke it, it should be fixed by now.
I spent more time looking at the instructor than anything else. I won't say her name, but if you have the same one I did, you'll see what I mean.

 

I don't remember the simulator being a requirement, but likely you'll play with it a bit. No, ya don't go off road, but I think ya get to hit a person walking, sideswipe a car, slide out on ice, and blow a steer. It really wasn't that realistic, there was no blood.
What I did was get on ice, and I jammed the clutch down like you would really do. I guess I hit it too hard, and broke the linkage!!

Enjoy yourself, I had a good roommate, and the time there was actually fun.

 

Well, Rob wasn't the instructor I had, just thought you might want to know that!
The room mate I had drove for Swift previously, he said it was quite a difference as well.
