    No, they won't send you home for not leasing. jdmredneck just went through orientation and will be able to tell you his experience with orientation, as it is more recent than ours. They make leasing look very, very good .....it is not.
    We have a small blog with some information that may be helpful ....it hasn't been updated in awhile but the basics are the same.

    Time to fix dinner but I will be back in a bit .....and happy to answer what I can for you.

    Short work week. Got home Monday back out Wed, home today (Friday). They gave me a load late Wed from Baxter Healthcare in North Cove NC, to Northern Mass that I had no chance of making ontime. They swapped me out in Carlisle PA at the Petro with a load back to Dunn NC Food Lion. Had to get back on a weekend hometime schedule. Head back out on Sunday to, you guessed it, Shrewsbury MA. I really don't mind doing all this northeast. I hardly did any with TransAm. I do miss going to the central US. Thats the tradeoff for getting home weekly. 2600 plus on last paycheck. This week, 2000 with the truncated schedule.
