Prime Inc. Orientation Oct, 2010

Thats a good point Iron Pony. although it was a few years ago I remember getting $4,500.00 in revanue in a week with just 2300 miles. You cannot base your revanue on miles when you run percentage. BTW I liked it when the fuel prices was high because I had a 7mpg truck and I paid almost nothing for fuel coz of the fuel surcharge. And Prime does pay some of the highest fuel surcharge in the industry if you compare them to other companies.

 

You seem to think that your failure was, atleast in part, due to your dispatcher favoring teams.
So am I to assume that you were running solo?

If your wife was running team with you then I apologize in advance.
If you were running solo...then this would mean that you were driving a truck and working for this dispatcher, and you wife was on the phone complaining about your loads? If I was your dispatcher, and your wife was calling me to complain about your loads I would have little patience for her, or you. I am sorry if I am misunderstanding this.
If I were your dispatcher I would welcome a call from your spouse to apprise me of a legitimate emergency situation at home, but I would expect YOU to come to me with work related concerns. I would not want to talk to your wife about your possible performance problems.
My wife has always know, or atleast known about, my dispatchers. But she would never have even considered calling them to discuss my job performance or work assignments.

If you were running solo and your wife was discussing your load assignments with your dispatcher, I have a pretty good idea where your business went awry.

 

If i'm going to orientation with my CDL permit DOT medical card and long form, I still have to take a physical?

 

Yep... still have to make sure you've had your shots 'n don't have fleas or ticks.



...oh, wait. That's fer my dawg!

Yes, it's as .much a preemployment physical as anything else.

 

Dang that's annoying haha I had to pay to have it done here and #### when I could of gotten it free up there, only one i'm a little worried about is the eye exam lol
