Prime Flatbed Divison Info

Hey guys...seen my first Prime FB roll through my way today...passed him SB on I-77 around Ripley, WV...it was a Purple Pete, good looking truck!

 

Been lurking on this forum for awhile and enjoying reading all your posts and learning a little bit. - I'm 54, a student - 5 more weeks to go. Was told by a former student that came to our class today that Prime is a great company to work for - he couldn't say enough good things about it. FB sounds like something I'd like to do, BUT, I'm female! I'm in pretty good shape and very strong. Do you think a female could do FB?

 

Yeah why not, your only as week as your mind is right? Congrats on school, and welcome to the Prime threads. Don't hesitate to ask any question, there are plenty of people around here that are more then willing to help you out.

 

I believe i a female can do it actually meet a female fber at prime on the yard

 

Thank you for the kind replies! Safety is what it's all about. I taught Traffic Violator's School for a couple of years. Used to refer to the CDL manual a lot to teach folk how to be safer drivers and especially be more patient and understanding when it came to sharing the road, and what the laws on the books are really for (safety, duh!) I'm sure Karma will be good to me! I'm looking forward to learning all I can to make this a great career. Thanks again.

 

I have a question, and apologize in advance because I know nothing about this right now! Does the driver at least supervise the loading? Do you have any say in how the load goes on? You'd have to get them to load it correctly, as far as being balanced and not having parts that go flying off. Is that correct or not? Guess I'm worrying already!
