    Thanks MONT74

    I've hauled alot of flatbed loads but never coils,so that will be one area I need training.

    Looking foward to the new company,I was surprised that Prime was as competitive as the other companies I looked into.

    I'm sure I have alot to learn under a new system,so time will tell.

    Sounds cool Da1..probably will see you around.

    Looks like I'm good to go,recruiter called and everything is groovy.

    Just have to put in my notice with my current employer and then I'm on my way to wherever they hang the new guys!

    Looks like I will have to do the flatbed bootcamp..which is fine..haven't did coils..I know they're a different beast.

    Either way I'm looking foward to joining the team.
     
    da1 Thanks this.

    Good to hear. I haven't done coils either, but I'm sure I will eventually.

    I don't think so..recruiter said something about springfield.

    I have to do the flatbed securement class,not sure where that is.

    I'm only about 2 hours from pittston..I fuel at the pilot there once a week.

    Is Prime all elogs?

    Never dealt with them,always paper..never a logbook violation in all these years,thanks to H R Ewell and their crazy log class!

    Yup... not such a big deal as many make it out to be. You just have to put some thought into things before the gears start grindin' - LOL!

    Have a plan for parking, especially when the 11 and 14 are getting small in an area of not too many spaces.
