Ok I am scheduled to attend orientation in Atlanta, GA next week for MCT. I was told 2 1/2 days of orientation then the next 4 days would be "Advanced Training". Upon completion of the 6 1/2 days if a trainer is available I will leave out to start my OTR training. If not they said I'd be sent home to wait for a trainer and paid $500 a week while I wait. Now as good as it sounds to get paid to sit and wait, does anyone have any insights as to how long I might have to wait? Any info on the company from current MCT drivers would be greatly appreciated. I want to be fully prepared when I leave home Monday and drive to Atlanta.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

The wait time is ....

* Roll the dice

* Pick a card

* Spin the spinner

... who knows?

Actually it all depends on how many trainers there are. Best way to find out is to ask the orientation people. Yes, they probably don't know, themselves. But they could guess from their experience.

If they pay you five hunnert a week to sit on your butt, watching Price Is Right all day, they'll get you a new friend fast enough.

Thanks Errol....lol....I doubt I'll be watching Price is Right for too long before they get me a trainer.
