Prime Inc driver thread

I want to do reefer, but I think the recruiter has me down for flatbed.

 

Depends on how many are available at the moment. Can take a lot of time to find a flatbed trainer. I got lucky and found one in 4 days.

 

Are you AT Prime? If that's the case, they'll assign you one, and you'll be on your way at the end of the week. For reefer, anyway. Flatbed might take a while, and you *may* be better off getting your miles reefer-side while waiting for a FB trainer to come available.

 

Very true. Not as much team freight on the flatbed side. At least when I was with my trainer I didnt see as much. Course... Have done runs that were SUPPOSED to be on a team... If you want to go reefer, then just go reefer. Its not that hard to switch.

 

well i got a go on my medical work release headed back monday to get my trainer all set to go

 

Well this could be why its taking so long to find me a trainer. I'm going to call her tomorrow and ask her to change me to reefer. I'm ready to go out a.s.a.p. Can anyone tell me what I will need to take to training with me as far as paperwork? i.e ssn card, passport, etc?

 

No, I'm not at Prime. My recruiter was telling me it could take any where from 1-2 months or a couple of days for a trainer to become available.

 

Your recruiter will send you an email with a list of all the things you need. If you have a passport take it. You need a notarized copy of your birth certificate. And all the other usual stuff you need when starting a new job.

 

He doesn't have an orientation date yet. Gotta get through that stuff before they assign a trainer.

 

Usually helps if you're through orientation
