    It means they're tired of getting CSA points for morons who can't find their license and medical card when DOT comes knocking...

    Cheryl is a good recruiter too...

    That's the same woman I've talked to. Real nice, honestly. I need to call her sometime this week and let her know I'm in school.

    I spoke with a recruiter named Ben. Coincidentally, that's the same name I have. :D Pretty good person, was honest about there being good and bad things there at Prime, overall good experience.

    I'm set to head out to orientation in April out in MO, hopefully it'll be a decent experience for me. Driven a few vehicles in my time in the military, now ready to try something bigger and better. :) Anyone going to MO anytime soon?

    I'm out in Manteca CA right now droping off some ice cream, Hopefully I'll get something heading back out that way.

    I've been on the road almost a week now, and already on the other side of the country. It's awesome rolling through the mountains from Reno into Sac on I-80 at 1am in a snowstorm.

    I got a kick out of the radio the other day. I'm in 45 degree weather in MN and listening to the weather gal talking about the snow in KC and St. Louis. Of course I almost got frostbite removing my placards at 0600 the next morning: 10 degrees, but no snow!
    83 here in Vegas yesterday where (boo-hoo) I'm doing a 34 to get enough hours to get out of CA. Don't mind the restarts that garner me $400 at the blackjack table!

    83 today rolling thru Tucson. Trainee and I are on a run from Ft. Pierce FL to Walnut CA.

    Dropping this one in Fontana, and grabbing another for an early appt in the morning... So we can reload and head East afterempty.

    Ok who's got good pics inside and out of their cascadia? Seriously considering a jump and Im curious about how nice the trucks are. If I switch I'll be leasing a condo instead of a midroof because my wife will be along sometimes but Im also thinking of training. Thanks

    Already gone. Dropped trailer with OJ and grabbed trailer with paint at 0430 from the drop yard. Delivered 3 blocks away at 0500. Washed out and checked in to shipping office on my next load 8 miles away at 0700.

    Coming up on 1530 and we are 60 miles deep into AZ.

    We'll cross paths eventually.

    Prime is a great company, but they do have higher standards than most other OTR companies in my opinion.
