    Lemme throw my .02 in herr. Why would you contact a lawyer? It is not that prime doesn't want you as an employee, but prime DOES want to protect you from a very bad experience.

    Example: come on with me girl and I will train you. Promise not to hit on you. Just get to know me for a few minutes here in springmo and you will see that I am a good man.... Two days later, as you both sleep in the truck wouldn't you have a small doubt of trust with a man you know for just 2 days? I understand the same argument could be made for a woman. As a PSD, prime is pretty much liable for the conduct of.the instructor. On TNT, that liability transfers to the lease operator, if you ride with one.

    If you want to be employed by prime, leveraging them with a lawyer is not the wisest start. Keep looking, get your permit, and don't give up.

    I am going back to my second trainer the the only reason I got of his truck was because his inverter was broke and I was required to have a cpap (which is a scam in my book). So I got with an other trainer. He never should have been a trainer, after I drove for 400mls he called the terminal manager and told him he wanted me of the truck. after he was told he was a trainee ones he apologized to me only to kick me of the truck 2 day's later because I was unsafe he said? turns out I farted in my sleep and he found that "disgusting" and kicked me of his truck. so now I am going back to me other trainer with whom I get on really well. Some people just should not train. And yes it is about the money for them. cheap labor. He is now trying to talk one of his former students in to teaming with him and offering him 12ct per mile go figure

    I have had my share of stinky students, and have created a list of foods that are off limits. And yes it is disgusting, I would not put up with your disrespect.......

    So ####### you never fart in your sleep? I did not once do that on purpose

    It is a bodily function that sometimes you can not control and not a reason to kick someone of the truck
