New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

It looks as though it might be wise to have a copy of the online application in order to transfer the information over the the second pen & ink application.

 

That's not necessary... its your life, and you should know it well enough to describe where you've been, and what you've done. Small discrepancies won't matter.

 

Also depending on your work history they may not even question much about it. The see enough they know who is or isn't being on the up and up.

 

I keep my work history in a text file on my phone. It helps me remember the details.

The online app was for Prime to determine if they wanted to spend the money to do a background check.

The written (and signed) app you fill out at the Campus Inn is more of an honesty check. They already have your information, and you will be called out on any discrepancies. I was asked why I didn't report a speeding ticket. It was older than the time frame requested, and I said so. The interviewer counted on his fingers (!), was satisfied, and we moved on.

The whole point we're trying to make is that you should be completely honest and up front. It's understandable (and forgivable) if you forget some small thing on your app; one of the people I went to orientation with had forgotten that she had worked a couple weeks during Christmas a few years earlier. Not a big deal. If you "forgot" that you had a felony drug conviction last year.. you got some splainin' to do!

Bottom line: If there is something in your history that would disqualify you from driving for Prime, it's better to let them know BEFORE you get on the bus for Springfield. If you honestly forgot to include something, call your recruiter as soon as you remember. Submitting a fraudulent app (the signed one you fill out in SpriMo) gets you escorted to the sidewalk and told to find your own way home.

 

Welcome back to Springmo I'm at the terminal.getting stuff squared away with my student.

 

Yeah I thought I caught a glimpse of you guys eating lunch but I was on the phone heading back to the hotel. Going to test out Wednesday and hopefully have wheels moving by Saturday.

 

Good luck with your testing Wednesday.

 

Okay guys, I will be driving from CT 06854 to Springfield. I will leave around 8am saturday morning, and need a place to sleep about 9-10pm. It takes about 18 hours total and I expect to be on the road about 12 hours. (Plus an hour rest with lunch) Which rest stop should I stay? I will start driving early morning to be at prime around 12pm. I dont want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere and need some info about a good/safe rest stop. Thanks guys!

 

From CT lots if major cities with decent hoteliers type places. Try Dayton Ohio.

 

Any specific rest stop in dayton ohio? How about around Indianapolis? I feel like I can go further than dayton ohio. Will see how traffic is....
