Questions for the experienced folks on here:
  • Which engine do you most prefer ?
  • What are your experiences with engine reliability, mileage, etc. between Cummins, Caterpillar, Volvo and Detroit ?
  • What are your preferences for transmissions ?
  • Truck manufacturer likes and dislikes, pro and cons ?
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

Howdy techiekate.
I'll be starting the following week, July 13th. Good luck to you and I would think first and second week classes should run into each other somewhat.
Biggja is there now in his first week.

Hey to you and see you there. Have you received any departure confirmation? I told my recruiter I wanted to leave 7/4 evening but haven't heard anything yet.

I called him on Monday and confirmed the details. My plans changed and I'm driving there so I wanted to let him know before he got a chance to buy my bus ticket.

My recruiter is Ryan and I've found out that really the only way to get ahold of him is to call him. Leave him a message and he will call you back.

I'm so glad to meet you all here in this virtual world and I look forward to seeing y'all in person!

Techiekate29,
I'll be starting the 7th, but as you know, at Prime. Do you have a laptop to keep us updated during training? I'll be posting as often as possible and would find it interesting to track the different training methods.
Good Luck!
By the way, to all you regulars, this is the first thread I check everyday. Keep up the good work and be safe out there drivers!

Hope none of you are headed into the IL area, as I am sitting & from what I'm told there is a lack of fright.

1) Where is this load board you are looking at?

2) I did, she told me she was working on it, but I shouldn't hold my breath.
