Prime Training Program

Hello to you,

I don't know much about the school part I have my C D L but here is my recruiters number she is a real nice lady her name is Tabatha Smith 1-800-224-4585 ext 6658 talk to her she will be able to answer all your questions.

 

i would have to say that prime has a good training program i went thru it back in july and learned alot i had a good instructor/trainer so that helped fb trainer wasnt the best but i learn easy and still am i guess it all depends on the instructor/trainer you get if you are looking for a training program id rec prime no cost for school if you stay a full year i would think about it before coming bc youd hate to sign up then leave having to pay money back and try to find another school good luck w/your decision

 

Many of us have threads on here documenting our journey through the program... I started a thread before I got here. Its a good program. Its all hands on training in the real world. There are some great instructors, I know several of them. If you come, find an instructor who does it because he wants to, not because it pays. This guy will teach you what you need to know, because he cares.

 

Let's call this the "ORD Test"

Pick the instructor that is willing to give you all of his instructor and training pay... Or give the money to charity... Then you will know he is not in it for the money.

 

nice test wish i used that for my flatbed trainer i would of been better off

 

If you used that test, you'd still be waiting for a trainer.

An altruistic bench mark that narrows the field of trainers to maybe a handful of people in the entire industry mixed with thousands of liars. Needle in a haystack scenario.

I'd say a trainee with good interview skills and decent instincts who isn't so eager to take whatever trainer is thrown at him has an excellent chance of finding a good one.

Maybe scout the practice pad for guys testing out. Some instructors only instruct.

I got lucky, shuttle guy paired me up by announcing he had a student on board looking for an instructor. My guy raised his hand.

I think the key was we spent the next hour interviewing each other. Neither of us were assigned to each other at that point so I didn't feel any particular need to accept that this guy was my trainer.

Nearly every trainer does it for the money. The question is how much value an responsibility does that trainer place upon himself in making sure a trainee is properly trained.

 

I had a similar experience where we both sat down and ate luch and interviewed each other. Turned out to be one of the best decisions I made (notice I said I made this decision).....

 

Well the 1st inst i was given i turned down 10min on the phone w/the guy and i knew it wasnt going to work the 2nd was the one did psd/tnt w/him and at the end he didnt want me to get off the truck waited 2wks for fb so yes i took what i could get i know most do it for the money just wish all would give there all
