    Prime has a very good training program. Once you are in though it can be quite stressful. I wrote much more, but for fear of being sued I deleted what I said. I will say good luck.

    If you want to know the truth, PM me.

    To be honest, internet connectivity is a must in this industry... not just "free WiFi." Blundering around into a blizzard that can bring life-threatening conditions is just plain stupid. Get enough equipment and service to be able to access real-time weather radar.

    Right, I get that he should have a smart phone and a data package. But right now, we have to work with what we have. Which is me, checking all the sites in question, and relaying that information to him.

    I realize most of you have fancy phones. We're working on it.

    I'll pass on the PM but thanks for the good luck wishes.

    I'm not anxious about what Prime can do to me but rather what Prime can do for me. When it's all said and done the worse thing any company can do is send you home. In my case, that would be sending me back into retirement which is not all that bad. :biggrin_2559:

    After being delayed twice, I will also be starting Class November 29th. Been a bit of a roller coaster upto this point. Now time is coming short before I have to catch a bus. Not looking forward to the bus ride though. My ride to SpriMO is 42 hours long, so I have to leave Saturday November 26th to be there Monday afternoon. Very excited and nervous. Hope to meet a bunch of the people from this forum. All of my research has led me to choosing Prime Inc., some of which is from the feedback from here. Thanks all for great information.
