    Wow....well I do apologize if I caused confusion in anyway regarding the title.  However I did intentionally label my  thread this way because with so much negativity on these boards, I figured ppl would assume this post as more of the same while it's actually the opposite for a change. I'm not saying Prime is the best company in the world because I've never worked for them, but I am saying that if they were willing to do this for me as a non-employee, I'm sure that they will be there for me as an actual employee if a situation were to occur. When I picked Prime out of all my options alot of "super truckers" gave me grief and made me feel dumb for choosing them (eventhough oddly enough they didn't have anything positive to say about any of my other options either). So I was kind of mocking the usual "negative" culture in alot of TTR threads while actually sharing something positive.

    Lol, yea don't pay them "super truckers" too much heed, they occasionaly have some good tidbit of advice, and definitly good for the best stories at the truckstop, but they are also the ones that are doing 75 on ice in a freezing rain storm and yelling at everyone else goin slower that the road is just wet but refuse to show me a brake check on thier truck when i ask em to, true story
     
    18wheelsofsteel Thanks this.

    Hmm suggesting a slight change in the TITLE of a thread makes someone a SUPER TRUCKER:biggrin_25513:

    As I stated in my last post, the super truckers in which I'm referring to are the ones that were criticizing my decision in other threads. With this being a thread based on something positive there should be no negativity since none of those members are here. I'll also add that so far, the people here in driver personnel and at the hotel have been great today.

    Thanks alot Cage, I appreciate that. Unfortunately, I'm a D seat driver as I only have my permit. I took my drug test today and am just patiently waiting to be hooked up with an instructor after tommorow.

    Welcome to the Prime family.

    I've been with the company since March, just upgraded to B1 seat. All in all, Prime has been a very good company to work for so far. I'm very happy I came here.
