Just started with Prime 8/17

Thank you very much Fullmetal, I understand completely its up to me. I have talked to a bunch of trainers already but of course they had trainees already.
I'm not even worried about going home or if I go flatbed or reefer. I'm more than willing to learn as long as I have someone willing to teach instead of yell lol.
I just got a phone number of the girl in charge of assigning trainers, so I'll give her a ring in the am as well.
If I have to wait so be it, more sims and pre trip won't hurt either!

 

I understand completely what your saying. There is a lot of trucks here at campus now. I have talked with a few instructors and even pre tripped some of there own trucks today. I have learned some good techniques just from opening my mouth.
I understand the patience part too completly. I'll head to the pad tomorrow morning and check it out.
I don't think I talked with Linda, the name I got was Holly. I was told she's in charge of assignments.
Either way I do thank you for your advice!

 

Thanks for info. I just never updated my status. I've been out with a trainer since Wednesday. Going real well, he's let me do all the driving and backing I can! Now we are just waiting to make delivery for Monday morning in NY.

 

Nice. I'm headed to warrens ny. With a Tyson load. Sitting close to Syracuse today

 

Just got a trifecta!
So relieved and happy. On to the TNT phase with the same instructor so it should be a great time. He has taught me so much in the last 2 weeks not only about driving but the business side as well and retirement goals. I can only imagine how much he will teach in the next few months.

 

Thank you!! Appreciate that.
I was more nervous than my instructor lol. He told me I was gonna pass, but being new I still had my own small doubts.
Passed the pre trip missing one thing, aced the backing with zero points and got 10 points on the road test.
The examiner said I almost beat his record. I sight parralled in 1:35. For never really backing I picked it up real quick.
