    Just started with TransAm today in Olathe KS.
    Had a short day in orientation today because most people in the class came in via plane and for some reason (I assume due to the holiday) a lot of planes were delayed. A lot of people had long layover times between flights on the way here and most people were arriving any time between 6pm last night and 4am this morning, 2 didn't even arrive until around 10am today. So everybody was tired and groggy. So today we only did paperwork, drug testing, and they did a lot of talking about the lease purchase stuff. Claimed the fleet was 80% lease.

    I don't have any plans to go to lease at this time, but a lot of people in the class were all excited about it, an many weren't even new drivers, some had years of experience.

    They ordered pizza for lunch.
    Staying in the La Quinta hotel about a mile from the small terminal.

    Who is the main person leading orientation? Used to be Joe, an old school trucker and close friend to the TA owner but I guess he retired.
