PRIME

Ok here we go.....I have been looking at several Co. that are good starters for newbies...So I talked to a Prime Recruiter today.....She told me yes they have a training program..for new drivers....I said great....but wait there is a catch.....it is for someone who has no CDL....NO EXP.

I told her I have a CDL....she asked how much exp. I had...I told her none...Had the CDL but never used it...she told me I had to have at least 3 to 4 months of EXP before they could hire me to be put with a trainer...

I said if I had 4 months of Exp. why would I need to go with them and be trained...she said that's just how it works....

So I backed up for a Min....asked her again....your whole training program is to Hire folks with No CDL and No exp....right...she said yep. but you will not hire someone with a CDL and No Exp...she said yep....

Her advise was for me to get a Job with someone to get some exp then come to them or go back to driving school and get back to them....

I said you mean you would rather have me go and drive for someone who would take a chance on me being new with no exp...if I could find such a company....drive 3 months and then leave them high and dry for a Job with Prime....she said yep.....
then I said or you would have me go back to school which I never did the first time and pay 3000.00 + bucks for a CDL which I already have....
YEP......

Then I asked her....let me get this right....Prime would have me be trained by someone else for 3 months....just to get hired to be trained for 4-6 months..With Prime.....even if the training I got before prime was bad training...
YEP......!!!
Am I missing something........??????

 

Yea seems to be.....I talked to a prime driver yesterday....he was well passed his 60K miles of training....then the other team member came out...he was still riding with an instructor
