    If you don't have a CDL yet, you'll be headed to Springfield. Orientation at Pittston and Salt Lake City are only for people who already have their CDL and need training, or experienced drivers that will be getting trucks right away.

    They are mid-roof sleepers. They're not huge inside, but adequate. They're used in some of Prime's regional gigs, and anything that requires loads over say 45,000 lbs. Mostly they're assigned to solo company drivers, but I've seen some on the lease side as well. That's not one of ours, but you get the idea...

    Yeah, I'd think so...

    Was wondering if it would be there or Springfield... over in another topic it showed all that remodeling/construction going on in Pittston so I wasn't sure if they'd still be doing orientations there with that going on.

    Be nice if it is Pittston... I actually know the area a bit... I lived just outside Allentown back in the early-mid 90s (Palmerton)... raced modifieds at a track in St.Johns (Just up from Hazleton)... I hear it's called Mountain Speedway now... back then it was called Evergreen Raceway.

    Yes they are. Get something to occupy yourself, get on the hold loop, and wait until they answer.
