I just wanted to say thanks to all the people posting information about the job, companies, etc here in these forums. I am planning to start my driving career in the next few weeks and it has really helped me make an informed decision reading through all the past threads.
I also want to say that I had no idea truck drivers were so clever, witty, and sarcastically funny. The forums are full of hilarious one liners pretending to be advice like this from silenteagle on the "New to Prime INC" thread. Underlined for emphasis:
3: You are still being interviewed, so take a shower. Brush your teeth. Shave. Your PSD Instructor should be able to provide showers for you at the truckstops. They get a shower credit at most truckstops with every 50 gallons of fuel. Team showers don't mean that you shower with him/her, but that you get two showers for one shower credit.
Team showers. You just know some company somewhere has probably run the numbers on this for water/cost savings...
Anyways, huge props for all the info and friendly advice. I will be sure and contribute in kind once I get out there and have something to add to the conversation.
Thanks again!
The website is a real Godsend for new drivers like me
