[QUOTE="SpoolEmUp, post: 926512, member: 36524"] Day one is orientation/paperwork time. Then lunch, then general information wrapped up with a diad simulator program on a computer that has tests.Integrad is just all about learning about the job. Rules, how-to's, best practices, questions and answers, etc. Then, you take the real driving test which is a ups truck that has seats in the back filled with other classmates. You start in the yard with backing up to either side, straight back. Parking, etc. Then change seats and the next guy does the same. Then you leave the hub and head out to the streets with your teacher in the jump seat. You practice pulling up to and away from curbs, signal and horn usage and really just implementing all the material they have taught you in the class room (the seeing habits, 10 point commentary, etc). If you pass that, you get to come back the next (last) day of integrad for the oral test which is a verbatim recital of all these rules. Those will take some serious studying to remember the first time. Learn them well too, it's not uncommon to be going about your business in the morning at work and have a sup stop you and ask, "so, what's #4 to the 10 point commentary?" so just keep in mind that it's not a learn and forget, you really do need to know it- stone cold.Every day at school ends with an hour or two of diad training then testing.
