    Yes we have a Terminal in Conover, NC this is where you would do your orientation. You do this testing at a clinic just like where you go to do your physical. Since you have Experiance, you would just do a road test and then do the normal videos and paper work type of orientation for 3 days, then hit the road.

    Thanks! Sounds like a good company from what I've heard. Nice to do orientation in the same state as I live. Im not big on Greyhound rides.

    They need to add:
    pushing 300lb weight on slippery floor 40' and
    taking 100+lbs off of shelf way over your head over and over to be more realistic!

    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    Just to resurrect an older thread (and 'cause I have a question, darnit):

    Anyone know if there's an issue if you have low blood pressure? I have been rejected for giving blood because I have a naturally low BP and pulse (117/60; 40 bpm) and would hate to get dumped just for that.

    The rest of the HPE sounds like cake, including peeing on command (5 pregnancies, you get really good). :biggrin_2554:

    I'm not sure, but if you can pass your DOT physical you'll pass that part of the HPE...DOT physicals are only $20 or so at clinics

    Watch these guys.
    For two months my son filled out paper work turned in mvr's took physicals took drug test set up orientation. Then son put in his two weeks notice with current company. Didn't burn bridges with company. Shows up for orientation and after 4 days. They say Now they found something on his mvr. That they have had and looked at for 2 months. Then sent him home. Thankfully he was rehired by previous company before he even completed his bus ride home. I find it pretty crappy that WS gets away with this junk. All back ground stuff should be completed before driver quits current job or shows up for orientation.

    ummm they do, and if they found something and sent him home he shouldn't have lied about it....

    Get away with this stuff :biggrin_2559: ya right like they do that all the time, and chances are he didnt tell them about something.
