orientation pay at prime

So how's the orientation at Prime? I have my cdl but have not driven semi in almost 2 years. Any suggstions or things to study before i get there?

 

Do you have a date for orientation yet?

CDL manual... things have been changing.

 

Wednesday May 5th i start.

 

Hey IP linda in personnel said they dont pay for rehire bus tickets to terminal. Is that true?

 

Beats me! I never tried that - figured I'd stick around. Truckin' Tiger was fishin' for a ride a few weeks back, so it may very well be the case.

 

Well anybody in the PA this weekend PM me. I need to hitch a ride over to springfield.

 

Well, i just finished my orientation with Prime, going out with a trainer for 30 days.

 

Good luck man. Have fun!

 

Well, a month into training and just over the halfway hump, 20k miles shouldn't be this slow. I have had some good exeriences and some that have left me questioning Prime's qualifications for being a trainer. Creative logging, trainers way vs. d.o.t. Like being told to put your truck in neutral and coast up off ramps and around corners then grab a gear. Thinking back to my road test i believe that would be a failure for not being in control of your vehicle. I'm just gonna grin and bear it for a few more weeks in hopes of getting into my own truck and putting this "training" behind me. Overall im still pretty positive about the company, just gotta keep looking ahead, 2 more weeks? cross my fingers.
