We are pleased to have you as a professional driver on our team. The following information is designed to serve as an introduction to the orientation procedure and provide resources that will help you make a smooth transition into your new position as a TA Dedicated driver. Below you will find a guide for travel, what to bring, and a basic list of what to expect during orientation. Please feel free to contact us with any questions prior to orientation.

  • Pick up the rental car at the time it is reserved for, being late can sometimes cause issues renting the car.
  • No smoking in the rental as it may result in additional charges, this goes for pet damage and additional cleaning as well.
  • Gas tank must be refueled (on full) before returning the vehicle. If you pick up a rental that isn't full of fuel, notify your recruiter immediately. Please return vehicle by due date unless otherwise instructed. If you still have the car when class starts, please inform your instructor right away. If you are unsure of where the rental needs to be returned get with your recruiter so you have a clear understanding of that.
  • Some Drivers require round trip rentals while others do not, please be sure you understand which type of rental you have prior to arriving.

  • Flights can be provided for travel that exceeds 12 hours, if you are on a plane make sure you follow the TSA packing guidelines and arrive at the airport 2 hours early.
  • Real ID, Passport, or TWIC card will be needed to travel.
  • Checked Bags: We will not cover the cost of checked bags unless you are seating a truck at orientation. Please keep this in mind when packing for your trip.
  • Carry-On and Personal Items: The airlines we use allow one carry-on bag and one personal item per passenger. For a 3-day trip such as orientation, it is not necessary to check a bag. We encourage you to pack efficiently and utilize these allowances to avoid additional expenses.
  • We will reimburse in orientation for any Uber or taxi fares accumulated while traveling to the airport, rental car, or hotel. Please save receipts and turn those in during class. If you do not have the means to get yourself an Uber, please let your recruiter know and they can assist.
