    for sure lol, I have been cheating my diet drinking coffee and mt dews trying to stay awake, the videos and stuff are just so dang boring. Plus the first day while people are busy getting drug test and physicals you mostly just sit there bored. I tried to read some of the drivers manual while I sat there all those hours though.

    I dont know if they will ask for it, they didnt ask for mine but I brought it with me just in case. I always say its better to go prepared anywhere you go instead of showing up to find out you dont have something and get sent home.

    the best thing is just a great attitude, but i would bring all papers with just in case. But i've never needed to show my birth certificate. Also I would bring a notepad and a pen just to take notes on some company policies and what not. Theyll normally give you a binder with there policies to read but in case they dont i would jot down some notes.....good luck

    lol

    I would just make sure you have what I mentioned above and doesnt hurt to keep your social in your wallet just in case. They didnt ask anything else from me I know from my own experience. I am assuming your going to the Lancaster location? I have an excel sheet my recruiter gave which gives some info for the different orientations, if you did not get one then send me a message and I can send to you. There are a couple other things on the list too.

    so
    H6 (current 30 days or newer)
    CDL
    Dot long form if less than 90 days to skip their physical, has to been a swift approved clinic though
    medical card
    social
    pen
    voided personal check if you want to setup direct deposit.
    money for food, they only provide lunch

    depending on the hotel there will probably be coffee and maybe danish type breakfast.
