    Just listen to everything they say and learn. Last month at this time I had never been in a big rig.... Now just today I drove one from Charlotte, NC down here to Talladega, Alabama heading for Birmingham. Pay attention to everything, out on the road its not an option.

    Headed there (Springfield) in July. Very much looking forward to it. Hopefully by then all the big windies will be done wreaking havoc thru the region. :biggrin_2552:

    Enjoy!!! Study the Mossouri CDL booklet if you dont already have a permit. You can download it from the dmv website.

    Just filled out application online at Primes site...and for that driving section,as far as driving experience I put N/A in each of the required fillins on that app.I talked to a recruiter at the Mo_Office and he explained so fast about the options...he told me straight up that after I fill out the application online,I would be on a waiting list of some sorts until they can have someone available to hook up with?? He says they try to pair you up with someone in relation to where your from:biggrin_25524:...does this make sense?Either way,I hope the outcome is positive and I get a response.I was thinking myself while I wait to try and aquire a permit before I head out,probably would be easier on myself and their time.Guess I will also keep reading on into all your posts here and the others to get future heads up.Thanks.
