I completed orientation yesterday. I actually had a great time despite a few annoyances. My orientation instructor made the class quite fun and entertaining. My classmates were good sports about it all. There was about 40 classmates in total with atleast 7 or 8 of which were experienced drivers. Although in the beginning it was a long, drawn out process; the office staff were good to work with and getting us all set up for the next phase of our employment. The road test wasn't as bad as I thought. My shifting still needs work but I got through it. Just take your time and watch your turns. 2 people went home of their own choice. I assume they felt Swift just wasn't the right choice for them. The hotel was nice. Yesterday was a long day because it was the last day of orientation and most of my class were sent home due to it being Thanksgiving that following day and not having a mentor available right away. The bus station in Atlanta was packed like sardines. I slept most of my bus trip home which was awesome.
One tip: If you have the money to upgrade to your own hotel room I would do it! Me and my roommate got along great but his snoring was atrocious. There is no mere words that could describe his snoring. I learned more about snoring than I ever thought I could in life. His snoring kept me up for practically 2 nights straight. On the third night, my body just didn't give a #### and actually got some sleep.
Second tip: Just go there with a positive mind set and not dwell on the annoyances & nuisances of people, places, and things.
