Beep beep! Is that the sound of you on your way to ATS driver orientation? Welcome aboard! If you’ve been invited to ATS orientation and you’ve set a date but you’re wondering what’s next, you’ve come to the right place. Or, maybe ATS is one of the carriers you’re considering as your next home and you want to fully understand the orientation process before you come here. Either way, we’re here to help make the process easy to navigate. From how you’ll get here, who’s paying for travel, where you’re staying, what to do if something goes wrong and everything in between, this article will give you all the answers you’re seeking. A Quick View of ATS Orientation ATS orientation is held in two locations. Orientation is hosted for company drivers in Porter, Indiana. Orientation is hosted for independent contractors in St. Cloud, Minnesota (where ATS is headquartered). Dry van and flatbed drivers will be in the same room for most of orientation but will break off for separate securement training sessions. Orientation begins on Monday and drivers certify on Wednesday or Thursday depending on what division they’re in (flatbed or dry van) and if they’ve requested anything extra with their truck (like fridge installations, etc.). We expect drivers to arrive Sunday afternoon (or earlier). You’ll go through several presentations, a road test and securement training. You’ll have the chance to meet with both your recruiter and your driver manager.
