    Prime not so good exerence.

    So there was 93 in my class, I got stuck with a alcoholic #######. Who drunk every night and would drive the truck explaining to me its when he is at his best, and that PRIME HEAD of Saftey STEVE has to have his wife bring him to work because he isn't allowed to ever have a driven license because he has received so many dwis.
    I left with him on sunday, by next Saturday I had drove 51 hours. and He then took Sat,Sun,Mon,Tues,Wed, off at home.
    We left his home town Thursday and got back to the Campus Inn on Monday, Where he had to take smith class because he likes to run red lights.

    I sat at the campus inn from Monday until Thursday where he took me to the pad for two hours informed me im testing tomorrow then he took us back to the campus inn and went swimming. at 5:30 went back over to the pad to talk with other instructors and get advice and help how to back.

    He called me at 6:00 yelling asking where i was he was just beating on my door at the campus inn looking for me. I told him i was at the pad, he asked wtf for I said cus i need to learn how to back the truck. He says well ill be there in 20 minutes then. Well after an hour he shows up inhis truck with no shirt on and drunk as ####. he backs upto trailer and hook itup then he points for me to take the truck and practice backing. He then tells me turn the ac in truck off fuel is 4.00 a gallon. This is when it was 110, then he stands there yelling at me calling me stupid and saying well no Fn way your gonna pass, you may as well get on the bus go drive a cab. After an hour and half of this, He hasnt shown or told me what im doing wrong just calling me names.

    I park the truck and tell him Im done with his ####.

    he then spends the night calling me, and beating on my door which i just ignore his drunk ###.

    The next morning I get a call from steve larsen telling me to come over in talk to him wheni get there shawn runs up to me saying he is sorry and says lets just goback out for 2 weeks and well tell steve that. I said no Im done with you and go to talk to steve, shawn follows me and sits down.

    Steve then begins to chew my ### because shawn had came to him this morning and informed him how he has been trying to get me on the pad all week and I wouldnt go. Which was a lie. I had informed our FM Luca that I wasnt ready to test out because shawn hadnt shown me how to back. Luca confirmed that I had told him this. I told Steve I walked away from shawn because he was drunk and yelling at me on the pad.

    Well I then get told to go to the pad and they will call me to tell what they are gonna do. So I wait out on the pad until noon, The campus Inn calls me telling me shawn had brought my things that where in his truck and left at the front desk. a few minutes later shawn shows up on the pad asked me for his truck key back so I gave it to him as he is walking away he calls me a N Lover.

    I go to campus inn get my stuff and my iphone charger, ipad charger and my fan arent there, I call him and he says he never seen those things. So I go to terrys office and explain whats happening and she calls steve and steve says they are looking for me a new instructor. That Night as I go walk to walmart i see shawn has a new student and they are getting in the truck to head out. The next day No phone call from anyone no instructor for me. Sunday same thing.

    So I packed up my things and im back home.

    Prime does not tolerate drunkards. Someone showing up at the terminal who has obviously been drinking will be terminated immediately (or contract cancelled.) and escorted by security off of the site. That's why this entire story is totally bogus. Plus, Steve has nothing to do with security.

    Iron pony I didn't say Steve had anything to do with security, by story bogus? Why would I make it up?
    What do I gain from making this up? Shawn my instructor showed up at 7:15 pm on the pad drunk. There was one other student and instructor at the pad at that time. At 830 I got out of his truck and told him I'm done with his ####.

    First thing in the morning he is Steve's office/cubical making up a story to cover his own ###.
    he told Steve I was the one not showing up to the pad on time all week. Which is a lie, when I told Steve, Shawn was drunk and yelling at me on the pad, Steve could of easily piss tested mr Irwin right then and there but he didn't, he went on to ask me if I knew what prime policy on drinking was.

    Ironpony you act like prime can do no wrong, and like anyone who says other wise is just some evil doer, out to get prime for whatever reason.

    So since I'm not to sure about Steve job position my story is made up?
    I went to prime to get a job, not to hang out by the pool and chase women.

    I was told I would have to go back out for 2 more weeks with a new instructor when one became available.
