    We must have the same recruiter. Basically, I have the same scenario with the recruiter out of the office and the other recruiters are having difficulty with my employment verification. Also, I'm former LEO, too.

    On the flip-side, I appreciate Prime doing their home work. Too often I find training companies get an application and call you back the next day wanting to know when would I like to start training. I think Prime unlike some of the rest are doing there best to weed out those with questionable backgrounds.

    Angela gomez was my recruiter and she was awesome! Extra 6474... update, everything is gud, I got a recruiter today, he stole me.. his name is ray, pretty cool but he's older and decided to take me even aftrr I told him I smoke but he doesn't, he says I just can't smoke n the truck. Did some driving and manuevering today, it was harder than I thought but the trainers will get u where u need to be. I just have a downshifting problem. I'm not sure wen we'll be heading out, just sitting n hotel room waiting. Out of 67 ppl, about 5 were chopped, the rest are off with trainers and its only about 8 w/o trainers...I really want a smoking trainer but don't want to get on anyone's bad side...haven't met the fleet manager or anything so again I will update wen something new happens. I would highly recommend prime to anyone who wants to learn this business.

    If Prime is willing to give me a shot at the program I'm willing to go. I would need another three weeks before I went to show compliance with the #### Cpap machine. Once I'm there I'm all in it.

    Wow, 67 people. I was thinking maybe 15 - 20 per week.

    What is the average # per week?

    Being a non-smoker, what is the % of non-smoking trainers?
