They used to send us for a week of school for orientation. But I think that program is now ended(15 years ago). Don't be surprised if your orientation is a day long intro and your put out on the floor right away. Your orientation may mean heres the gun, here's the screws, now get to work. :D

I would quit the old job right away. Your going to be at work 8 hours, plus with your travel distance atleast another 2 hours, so 10 hours at Ford, 8 hours sleep and some relax time. Quit the old job.

Oh, and as a side note, it may have been said before, don't leave the plant until your supervisor says so. Not even if everyone else has left do you leave the plant. Stay put until you confirm or hear it from your supervisor that you can go.
