    Sitting here in the hotel filling out a lot of paperwork. Not sure if past Prime drivers did all this the night before? They gave us a gold package that has a lot of the paper work in it. As soon as I checked in I was able to take and pass my driving test on the simulator now that's a trip. Not sure if there giving out paperwork early because there are a lot of people here.:biggrin_25511:

    Nope, everyone gets the paperwork. The online application or the one you sent in by snail mail gets you in the door.

    This stuff is part of your official file.

    Yeah I just thought I would get it my first day of orientation, so I guess tomorrow is physical, drug test background check, since I took my driving test today.

    I finally got my orientation scheduled for next week. Can't wait to get started with Prime. What was the driving test like on the simulator? I think it would seem a little strange.

    Wow, so they do the driving test on a simulator now? Does it cover what all it used to there? Parallel parking both blind and driver side? Backing and alley dock? I would rather take a test like that I guess. I always get either really nervous when I have to take a road test with another person. Usually though end up giggling to myself wondering why I was nervous when the person who took the test after me was nervous as well and grinding the gears and nailing curbs and stuff like that. Saw the tester take the wheel from one gal one day. I wasnt laughin then though. I was hangin on to the darn sleeper net.
