First Day!!

12/29/2005

 
First day of truck training. They put us on the truck with an instructor for at least a week or two before we head off for classroom training. This allows us some sort of basis for comprehending the paperwork and certification training we will receive in class.

I can see how this could be a dirty job if you don't think things through and learn how not to "hug the hose". 

All Clear

12/19/2005

 
Received the "All Clear" call today. Everything came back ok and I'm all set to start on December 29th.

I am scheduled to travel to Sacramento the second week of January for classroom training. I'll update as I can.

Orientation

12/14/2005

 
Well, I went to a new-hire orientation today. I had to take the day off from Schneider to attend. I'm all set except for the results of the drug test I took today. Time to give my notice at Schneider. 

More Testing

12/9/2005

 
Yesterday morning I went to get the physical taken care of. In the afternoon I went over to the MVD office and took my tanker endorsement test. 

Unfortunately I also had to retake my HazMat test so I could start my TSA clearance proceedings and keep my HazMat while proving that I am not a threatening evil terrorist type personage.

Today I stopped by an office in downtown Phoenix and had my fingerprints collected. I had to fill out an online form last night and pay $94 for the background check. 

A Call Back!!!

12/7/2005

 
Well, I didn't make it the first time around. However, I received a phone call from the hiring guy this morning. I have to get another DOT physical, as well as some sort of strength test. And then go to the MVD to take the test for my Tank Trailer endorsement.
