    They have orientation once a month i believe at all the terminals except Black River they have it more often I believe. Not 100% on that but i think so. Also for experienced guy i believe its 3 days. Reason for that is waiting for drug screen to come back. The orientation part isnt long at all

    3 day orientation. Starts on Monday and you will be assigned a truck on Wednesday and can leave out once your pee test comes back. Once a month at each terminal but I have seen them run people through in between before. They could always get you to a terminal if you have a specific start week in mind. I've driven guys from NC to GA for orientation before.

    Getting a ride is better than riding a Greyhound! And not everyone is like that, but don't expect a plane ticket. Most people are pretty local to where their orientation is.

    Yes, once you are there they pay for the room, but you do pay it back at like $10 a week or something like that deducted from your check over the next year. Not a bad deal.

    I guess the only good company in your area is Millis.

    I dont think experienced drivers have to repay the hotel. When i got re hired i was in the hotel 3 days free of charge to me, and got reimbursed for my mileage in my personal vehicle up there

    You can drive to orientation and Millis will reimburse your mileage. Also Millis paid for my hotel at re hire orientation, and allowed my family who brought me up to hotel to spend the night in the room.
