The Swift Transportation company definitely has done this orientation thing more than once. It is a process that must be followed in order to get their new drivers on the road safely. The day starts with another DOT (Department of Transportation) physical. I am still here, so I must have passed. After the physical is completed we got to watch videos for the rest of the morning. The main thrust of the information is make sure that the drivers are safe and courteous on the roads while representing the company.
The company bought our lunch. Then back to the classroom for paperwork and lots and lots of informational handouts and manuals. I expect that we will be going over all the manuals and handouts tomorrow and Wednesday. The most difficult thing about the day was trying to stay warm. The AC was turned down to combat the heat we have been having lately. Today the high was only in the 80's. It took all day for the AC units to react. It finally warmed up a little later in the afternoon.
This is the first evening in about a month that I haven't had to do some type of homework or study for a test. Nice to just kick back and rest.
I will see what the day brings tomorrow.....until then.........Tom
