6+ years ago when I hired on, there was a big mass hiring. Some of my paperwork got misplaced at headquarters. Took a second drug test, because 30 day had expired on 1st test. Overall, about 75 days from 1st contact/application to driving. Last 14 due to notice given to employer. Took about 4 weeks when put back on after layoffs. Most was due to switch over from paper to computer application. Also had to do a knee stress test that delayed start. Old injury that was tested 1st time hired, yet needed to be tested again to make everyone happy. OD always paid for any extra testing. TMs even worked together since I was being put on at a different terminal than 1st hired. Original TM organized since he didn't have opening, yet knew location that did, close TM did computer/road test/physical (saved me travel time/exspense), 3rd TM got it all together to put me on at his terminal.
