    I am starting orientation Nov 1st. Hopefully this will lead to a new adventure and life style that i will enjoy. Hopefully i can get to know some people on here before i start and help with the transition. I am currently in law enforcement and have just lost the drive to perform at my best in that career field. I think hank Jr said it best "COUNTRY BOY WILL SURVIVE! i have limited family and no kids so i am planning on running hard and staying out a lot. i believe that prime can keep me busy, boy i hope i am right. I am currently arising for my cdl permit now and plan on having that before i go. thank you for reading and your comments of advise.

    I hear Prime has good freight to keep you busy.. I also hear they are a great company.. You will however hear the same ole people complaining about every company out there so don't get discouraged.. I myself was going to go with swift before my wife decided for me that she doesn't want me gone so much so either I need to look for something local or stay where I am in logistics.. for you with limited family, this will work well for you!

    50Willy, I will be starting orientation a week before you. I don't think I will be there when you come in but maybe we will meet on the road. Good Luck with your transition into trucking. Prime is a very big company and from what research I have done on the big companies out there they are one of the best. The drivers at Prime seem to keep this forum pretty active and post here quite frequently so just keep coming back and keep reading.
    Again good luck!!!!
     
    50Willy Thanks this.

    why dont u use vacation or leave time for as long as you can just incase something happens.when i decide to go i'll try to use a months vacation and if my work says no a months to long then i'll try to use 2 or 3 weeks,that way there i have a job to go back to if something happened in the first month.

    goodluck!
