Welcome Ollie.

There is a lot of good advice available on the Trucking Truth website. Use the search bar (upper left-hand corner of the page) to access specific threads in the archives.

My initial suggestion is consider orientation a prolonged job interview. Stay focused and conduct yourself with professionalism.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot!! I'm a stand up guy and very respectful and treats everyone with respect

You can find good and bad on just about any company but I believe a good driver willing to work hard can make a good experience even at a bad company. As said above stay focused and professional, somebody is always watching. Don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for help.
