791, the main thrust of my advice is that you not get deeply into SOPs that may not be those your new company uses. As I said, I think it's a great idea if you can obtain your new manuals early enough to allow you to become familiar with them prior to your training. Other company's manuals can be valuable to get an idea of how it all works, but remember who calls the shots at work and don't learn too much that you may need to unlearn.
