If I were you, I'd tell her - and why you don't mention it. That will be the end of it. I'm sure it won't matter one way or the other, but it goes to truthfulness and full disclosure. If they find out about it and you haven't mentioned it, it will look bad.

 

Where abouts is the Prime yard in or around des moines,ia i live in north east iowa in was kinda interested? Thanks

 

We have terminals in Springfield MO, Pittston PA and Salt Lake City, UT. There are a number of other locations that are sales offices with drop yards - like Denver for instance.

Doesn't really matter though - we are dispatched from wherever we unloaded last. For hometime we find you a load going to the neighborhood of where you live, you finish the load, drop the trailer where instructed, and bobtail home. Reverse the process on the way back out.

 

Ur best bet is the let them know about that criminal charge upfront and again when u go thru the interview process in orientation. If u dont u will be looking for a way home by the second day because they will find out. They do a thorough background check that will reveal it. Students get sent home each week for not being completely honest and there is no opportunity to explain it after they discover it. That charge isnt even that serious so dont throw away a possible career over something so petty.

I am 6' 3" and 265 lbs... I fit in the top bunk with no problem so u should be fine.

 

do you get through Kansas city much or just once in while? i have a son that lives there.

 

Sure we get there. It kind of depends on where you prefer to operate... and things do work in cycles (haven't figured out the how or why on that yet!)

That being said, if you want to take some time off and visit the kid, just tell your FM that's where you want it at.

 

I have a few questions I was hoping someone on here could answer. First, my husband just started as a trainee at Prime. He has been out a few weeks, but some of the things I have read on this site don't jive with how his trainer is training,...I don't want to step on toes, and no, my man isn't complaining, but I am the one who is concerned. First, day two of driving a big rig for the first time my man was driving at night. Is this normal? I read somewhere on this posting that trainees shouldn't be driving at night to start the first week, and that night driving hours don't count towards the 100 hours, and he shouldn't be driving more than 5 hours a day? Is this just old info? because my man is driving up to 11 hours a day- and his trainer only uses him on night driving now- and once he fell asleep while my man was driving...and my man saw on his log that he was logged out as sleeping, when really his trainer was sleeping and my husband was waiting in line to make a drop.... Is this right? Also, my husbands trainer is leasing his rig, and a few days ago the check engine light came on, but the trainer isn't stopping to get it check or fixed...I am just a concerned wife...I don't want to cuddle my husband, but I want him home safe. He has driven at night in some of the worst storms he has ever been in, and told the trainer he wasn't comfortable doing so because he had no experience with hail/rain/lightening/ at night driving...his trainer just kept talking on his cell and calmly told my man that he should get use to it because he will have to drive in it in the future--even though they had plenty of time for the next drop...enough to safely stop for the storm to pass. Please tell me I am just being overprotective and nothing is wrong with this scenerio.My husband doesn't want to be with this trainer anymore but is concerned that if he requested another one he will be washed out for working for prime...all responses are appreciated. thank you!

 

Thanks, that sounds great...
