    did i read that correctly or am i missing something??? do you actually take your cdl A roadtest on a simulator an given your license??? just seems strange that a company would allow this kind of procedure to obtain such a highly responsible license.

    No, you didn't read it correctly. They give PSD students the simtest to see where they at. TNT trainees (CDL holders) are given a simtest at the end of training that is timed and pass/fail. You fail, you go home.

    Not always. I'm guessing it is gonna depend how much you piss off the FM.

    I came to Prime with my license but no experience and I had to take the Sim
    I hadn't driven in 3 months before that and ya I was nervous you have 3 chances to pass or you go home. Remember that is if you come to Prime a C seat licensed with no experience.
