Here is something to keep in mind. Lets say you get to orientation and something happens where you get sent home, ie you have protien in your urine sample, and it takes a week to see your doctor and another week to get orientation rescheduled.
Well if you miss that 30 day deadline you may very well be SOL with them. This happened to a friend of mine who cut it a little to close and then had a few issues during the physical.
Most companies will not have a big problem with you taking a week of unpaid leave, but you will most likely have to turn the truck into a terminal and clean it out and you may or may not get the same truck back afterwards.
Communication is a big key to success in this biz. Never wait until the last moment to tell your fleet manager when you need something, and never tell them just once.
