New Driver Orientation

Orientation gives us the opportunity to welcome you to a better life at Southland. Following the recruitment process, the orientation process consists of the certification of your DOT physical & medical card, FMCSA Clearinghouse results, drug screens, training on technologies used, and a pre-trip inspection/road test. The following day, we take you through a comprehensive training class covering best safety practices, operational expectations, and onboarding paperwork.

Clearinghouse

All CDL drivers must be registered through Clearinghouse per the FMCSA.

We hold orientation once a week in our corporate offices in Boonville, NC, offering a second class weekly (if necessary). Orientation consists of a pre-trip inspection, a road test, a urinalysis screening and training on technologies used. You will also become familiar with our safety practices, operational expectations, and complete on-boarding paperwork.

The orientation process lasts 1 ½ Days, and upon hire, company drivers will be paid $200 for the orientation process. Southland will provide you lodging and transportation to the orientation if you live outside of a 90-mile radius from Boonville, NC. If you need help in getting to orientation, let us know!
