    Hey tech many congrats. Hopefully I won't be far behind you. What airport is close to Springfield? Will prime pay for the airfare?

    There is an airport IN Springfield, however, I'm not sure which puddle jumpers land there. Prime will reimburse you the cost of the Greyhound fare toward your plane ticket. So, if the bus fare is $200, and the plane ticket is $400, you are out $200.

    Flying into Springfield is expensive. The Springfield Airport is in Springfield, but on the other side of the town where Prime is by about 30-45 mins depending on traffic. The Greyhound bus terminal is just down the road from Prime about 10-15 mins by car.

    I havent posted here cause last friday when I went to take my cdl permit test I missed 13 on the test where you can only miss 10 and 12 the second time. Come to find out I was using all the CDL tests that are online and didnt read the actual one for missouri. doh!! I have crammed and crammed stuff from the MO CDL book this weekend and am going to take another stab at it a few hours from now on monday.... then off to prime on tuesday!! :)

    My flight came from Dullas and was 247.00 but had 3 stops NY, Chicago, then to Springfield the recruiter told me that they pay so much a mile to Springfield. I'm getting about 100.00 and the greyhound was 396.00. When i got here they were saying that the bus that i would have been on broke down and was on a delay lol
    I finally got in my room at campus inn at 11:30 or so were i had to start filling out the paperwork the front desk gave me to work on

    Well Day 1 They are working the bugs out of splitting up The have permit group on Monday (with new lease program) and the have no permit on Tuesday I was told to come in at 8:00 then when i get there at 7:15 I get yelled at for being late lol I was eating Breakfast with gambler at 7:00. Well the first thing was filling out more paperwork until about 9:00 when we started lining up for the pee test (I was holding all morning so i didn't have another 3hr waiting for the water to go threw lol ) and after waiting in line for 3 hrs anyway that was done then it seemed to move along a lot faster Nurse(eye, hearing), Dr. (Turn head and cough walk like a duck) then i had to return to Nurse so some info can be faxed to Prime from my Dr. about meds i have taken. My blood pressure was Highest i have ever seen it 143/108. Mine is usually about 127/75 lol I'm blaming Stress for getting yelled at for being late LOL I will have to get it retaken at 8:00 in the morning
    Then went too Sim Lab and finished all but one of the scenarios. Grabbed dinner in between Sims then in room at 8:00
    Tomorrow it is interview then last sim then whatever they have in store for me.
    This all reminds me of processing that i did in the service
    Well going to get some sleep will get back here tomorrow

    Good luck Tech. I faxed my recruiter the papers verifying my employment. Took her all day to finally respond that she received them. Now they are being reviewed. Let's hope all goes well and I get the green light to start my career with Prime. Let's keep our fingers crossed. How long does it take for them to get back to you with the green light?
