3 to 3.5 days.
Day one, paperwork, DOT physical, work well evaluation and physical, drug tests, and road test.
Day two and three, company policies and procedures, safety, logs, and more paperwork. At the end you get assigned a truck and a load. They will try to route you through the house that first weekend if you want. Also on the last day you are assigned and get to meet and talk one on one with your dispatcher.
Lunch is served every day through orientation. You are responsible for your own breakfast and supper.
I don't know if they still do it, but when I was there, on the last day they handed out a hat and 3 t-shirts with the company logo. Yeah I know. Woo-hoo, but every other company I ever worked for you had to by anything with a company logo on it if you wanted it.
