    Called to verify my app, but was told since i already have my cdl, i would need to take a 40hr refresher, i got my cdl on my own and now i'm looking for more training, made since to follow through with getting my cdl since all the training companies require a permit,and now having a hard time with deciding if i should try another training company, since Prime seemed to be one of the companies with the least complaints, where does one take a 40 refresher? and what do they usually run? i mean please don't get me wrong this isn't a rant, and not my first professional license, which i know you have to crawl before you run,but applying as a student wouldn't i get that training?

    Anyone who does a background check on you is going to catch this - and any application you fill out in trucking with this sort of disconnect will be treated as falsifying a document. That's cause for immediate rejection, and will probably be noted on your DAC report.

    You've got the CDL, so you're going to have to work your career from that standpoint. Good luck.

    It's been done before. Prime has them surrender the CDL and they start from scratch.

    However I would say that it was guys who had their CDL but hadn't used it in a couple years.

    Doesn't hurt to ask a recruiter.

    Oops should have noted on the thread that my previous professional license was a merchant mariners document,not a cdl. as for working on it ,I may get that chance as a route assistant at Budweiser,got called back for that job this morning, I by no means intended to falsely fill out a job app,just a inexperienced driver by the industry standards looking to improve by applying as what I thought to be a student position at a company, not a student form a grad school applying, if that makes any since, I like what prime has to offer going through the ranks and folks seem to be content there,if its a refresher I need then ill look at backing up to punt and get what's required of me, shoot may just jump into school for the whole kit and kaboodle as it may seem I'm missing some pieces to this game
