Orientation is pretty basic; paper work, physical, drug test, more paper work lol. You'll take a road test; mine consisted of a pre trip, city driving, highway driving, and backing.
You'll have several people come in and talk to you. They'll go over logs, P&P, benefits etc... You'll also enroll for benefits.
You won't find until the third day if you get to go out with a trainer. In my orientation class they sent 6 people home on the third day.
If you have a trainer half as good as the one I had you'll be in good shape. Mine was a firm believer that a person can't be trained if the trainer is in the sleeper sleeping. We never ran as a team. While I was driving he was in the jump seat the entire time.
I've only been with the company a short while and so far I don't have any complaints. I'm sure as more people read you're post you're going to get several people who think USX is the worse company you could choose (most of them have never driven for us) and you'll have some that will say the exact opposite. I'm telling you my experience thus far. Give it a shot and see what happens.
