    Just got the info for orientation. It'll be at the DC in Bentonville, apparently. Flying in to XNA and going from there.

    What do they do with you for a whole week? I'm expecting the normal orientation stuff, of course. Paperwork, Smith System (or a blatant ripoff thereof), road test, etc. Is it all that, drawn out over a longer period of time, or do they do more with you than the usual stuff?

    Anyone else around here going to be down there next week?

    Truck where I presently work has those nice GOAL stickers. They're pretty handy at reminding me that I have to Get Out And Load. I'm not going to miss pallet jacks.
     
    truckdriver31 and MilkyJay Thank this.

    Is Drosser still with Walmart? I read thru the entire thread a couple of years ago and even applied when I got frustrated with my LTL gig.
