    So Ive seen the Prime Orientation Springfield Addition which is More Directed towards People going to Prime as Students to get their CDL an then drive for Prime an Not so Much directed towards Future Drivers who are going to Orientation as New Drivers who have already gone to school an Attained Their CDL also havent seen anything on Orientation at the Pittston,PA terminal So Figured Id start a Thread for just that. I Recently Attended NETTTS ( NEW ENGLAND TRACTOR TRAILER TRAING SCHOOL) In North Andover, MA an Passed my Road Test on my First try. I leave for Orientation with Prime On Sunday morning Orientation Starts Monday Morning at 8am. So I plan on keeping a Short Log of my Bus Ride an then After Each Day Ill log the different Steps/ Activities that I do at Orientation. An then After Orientation Ill talk about Life as a Prime Inc Flatbed Trainee which Ive been told is 40,000 Miles roughly 6-8 weeks. An Then After that Ill log my Experience as a Prime Inc Flatbed Driver. So stay tuned in.

    Good luck in your new career, Prime seems like a good place to start just don't start with a lease!

    Hopefully when the OP comes on here and posts that they DID NOT try to get him to sign a lease as he walked in the door for the first time people will realize they do not push newbies to lease .

    To the OP best of luck on your new adventure
