New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

There are practice tests at the top of this page also.

 

just the general, combination and air brakes , you don't need tanker to get a CDL

 

Tanker endorsement is required by Prime and prospective PSD students must have it prior to end of orientation.

 

General knowledge is the only one I can get to load not sure if it is my phone or if the site is messed up.... But at least I passed it again 😉

 

You need a tanker endorsement to pull the 119-gallon liquid totes (aggregate of 3,000-gallons) we load in reefers.

 

This is a question for you new drivers/students. Just out of curiosity how long is the current wait (or how long did you wait) for a PSD or TNT trainer? Thanks

 

I didn't wait. I had an instructor Friday night and was on the road Saturday morning.

 

Hey what do you know, I start then too .. Class of October 27th I guess? Heh, couldn't be more excited, and I keep hearing nothing but great things about Prime. The recruiter (Gracie, really nice) told me to definitely have your permit and tanker endorsement before you come in, otherwise you'll be behind most others and playing catch-up. Plus, if you get your permit beforehand, maybe there will be more time to "cruise around" in the simulators. I hear they're a lot of fun and you can learn quite a bit.

 

ok just to recap what i read i would be out of pocket 250.00 tottal for the free premit and the cdl? the 200.00 food vouchers a week is a garented 25.00 pay back and will i be with out pay at all this? thank u

 

Your out of pay until you receive your cdl... Then you are considered an employee and receive 600 per week at least (although their website says 700). Prior to your cdl while you have your permit you can pull 200 per week for food and such which will be paid back at 25 per week once you are making a paycheck.... I think I got this down now lol
