Orientation
Quick and dirty - fill out lots of paperwork, drug test, physical, fill out lots of paperwork, logbook drills, safety videos, fill out lots of paperwork, check ride, learn company system for maintenance, fueling, tolls, comms, etc., fill out lots of paperwork, and sit an wait.
Or do an archives search here. BOL

The videos can be instructive, especially if there is a discussion about the video. We watched a video of rollovers. The discussion covered the underlying reasons. The usual cause was excessive speed, but other causes were due to cutting a corner too closely with a muddy drop off, other causes involved surge in tankers, and swinging meat in reefers. Yes, they can be gruesome, but they make a strong point.
