    Nice job. The rest is just learning the daily routine. And maybe some baking techniques... Lots of them while you have a trainer helping. If you have down time practice, practice and practice all sorts of backing setups.

    It's 4 days of orientation on the 4th day you're actually hired on.
    During the next few days it's more of a interview

    I roll refrs with KLLM intermodal division in Chicago. Some stops there is more than enough time for baking! But we are paid daily, not miles. So delays at shippers or receivers is not a problem.

    4 days I hear. Safety and policy now I guess. I will be running flatbed. Supposed to meet up with trainer Wednesday or Thursday.

    Can't wait to get moving.
