    a lot of hurry up and wait. They will tell you to be somewhere and make sure your on time or your gone. But once your their you will sit around and do nothing for like an hour.

    So you already have your cdl does prime accept the school you used or are they making you take the PSD class? Either way your going to be doing a physical some simulator programs whatever you do don't call them video games lol and some computer based training then basically wait to be fully qualified and get a trainer if you were coming around 8/9 I'd say see you there but i won't be ready for another TNT till then good luck prime is a great company
     
    gary r Thanks this.

    If there is a trainer available it is possible you will be rolling Friday but more likely by Monday that's okay though you get free hotel room until they get you rolling and they are decent rooms beings you have a cdl already I don't think you have to share a room either but don't qoute me on that part
     
    gary r Thanks this.
