    Post #33 you can apply for non-cdl driving job.
    At least it's employment for the time being.

    Their training is a joke. They get them a cdl and run the newbie and the trainer as a cheap team. Their safety record is bad enough to get their pre pass suspended.

    Training a joke?

    I was with my trainer at Schneider for a whopping 4 AND A HALF DAYS.

    After that, Schneider assigned me a tractor--and shortly thereafter I was running loads up in the northeast--mostly in and around Jersey.

    I would submit, with all due respect--that Prime's training is pretty good, to excellent--compared to that. o_O :rolleyes:

    Have you seen their drivers? They can't even back up.

    What makes you think they are unsafe? Their OOS rates run about 1/3 of the industry average.

    Well guys, spoke with a recruiter yesterday at Stevens Transport. They’re currently verifying my application right now. Projected start date is October 22 I believe if I remember correctly.

    Told her what she asked but she did ask for full background, she said still sounded fine, even with the DUI and felony.
     
    JoeTruck, Boondock and Chinatown Thank this.

    Your first job in trucking is just a means to an end a lot times. Most people start at a mega but then move on when they got experience. Some people stay. It’s like prison, some people can’t wait to get out, some actually become institutionalized and wanna stay longer.
    I for sure see less Prime drivers on bonehead truckers than any of the other megas.
