on my way to prime

That's great news, Booman!

 

Congratulations on that trifecta

 

Yup, congrats and... that trifecta is really tought to pull off. You're doin' real good!

 

They might finish the apu by the end of the month.... maybe

Lol

 

Well, I have made up my mind. After several months of study, reading, questioning, and yes, being a PITA at times, I have made the momentous decision to try to join Prime's driver corps.

Come December, I will begin contacting Prime's recruiters seriously in anticipation of joining the herd in SpringMo for training after I retire. There will be some federal retirement "things" that will have to happen and I am hopeful most of them will happen within a couple of weeks--I've had my retirement papers in for months, so I should have a leg up, but it is the federal government, so who knows.

And I even have a Plan B in case something doesn't work out with Prime. I will do the same with Swift or maybe pay $4,995 and enroll in CDL school. Then I will have a Michigan CDL and can try to get on with someone locally...there are companies that do not provide CDL training, think West Michigan CDL is a very good school, and get many of their new hires there.

I want to to this and am confident I will succeed.

 

Congrats on your choice. I sincerely believe you made the right decision for your new trucking career. Hopefully, we can all meet up someday.

 

Very good choice!!! Keep us updated on how things are goin!!

 

booman,

Are you finished yet ??

 

UPDATE: I have decided NOT to pay for CDL school but to go with a company that has a training program, Prime Inc. being my first choice. On November 10, I will take the CDL permit tests here in Michigan and hopefully pass them all.
