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

Yes.

SpringMo, Pittston & Salt Lake CIty.

 

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

Very well could be.

Know we do do training out of all three.

You've been in contact quite a bit, lately.......so I could see that.

Could have swore we did full at all three not long ago.

 

I checked into getting my WV CDL Permit today - what a nightmare. I have to obtain all these forms from a local DMV office, get a physical and then send all of that and $ to Charleston. After they process all of it they mail you a testing card that you take to a local office for your written test. After passing that and it all gets processed then they will mail you your permit. I guess I am better off to just study and get everything once I get to Prime.

 

If orientation starts on a Monday, do you need to arrive at Springfield Sunday night?

 

Man,

In VA, I just brought the paperwork from the doctor in to testing facility before I took tests.

 

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Better safe than sorry & can get a good nights sleep.

I came a day early. Hate to have to rush & get all hectic, if at all avoidable.

 

Hello everyone. Just got accepted into Prime today with orientation being Feb 2nd!! I appreciate all the good information found on this site from the experienced drivers, you guys ( and gals) are very helpful

Something interesting to note as I have been on this thread for a while now. The recruiter ( TAMMY) says that now a tanker endorsement has to be obtained with the learners in Missouri. I currently have a MD Class A permit but according to her I have to get it transferred to Missouri and get the endorsement or choose to get the endorsement in MD. Can anyone confirm this? She was saying its almost better to come in with no permit now. (Which im sure isn't true.)

Another question I have is upon completion of the PSD program does prime issue a permanent CDL or do you get a temp one to transfer back to your home state?

 

The larger palletized liquid totes that they put into reefers require that you have a tanker endorsement to pull the load.

Yes, if you already have a permit, you'll need to transfer it once you get here. Not a big deal.

You'll be issued a temporary MO CDL once you complete PSD. You'll need to transfer it back to your home state once you get on a TnT training truck.

 

alright ! best of luck to you.
