I just got back from a orientation tonight
First day I had to do a short drive through town with a instructor from their school. (I went to a different school) If the instructor signed off you were sent for a physical and drug test. The rest of the day was spent filling out paperwork.
2nd day was spent watching movies........proper backing, turning a corner, weather conditions, mountains, shifting, etc. Was a very boring day because the movies were the same ones I had seen in school just a couple weeks ago. HazMat training
3rd day was the rules of hours of service, how to fill out your logbook properly. How to use the Qualcom, the canned messages, etc. How to interpet your loads off the Qualcom. How to use the fuel cards and where. How to use the Comchecks and where. How to properly use the reefer unit. Defensive driving techniques...3hrs of listening and movies.
4th day was a 100 mile drive with a instructor from their school. They had the final say if you were hired or not.
