Prime Orientation clothes?

The rule of thumb in business is that you go in to the interview dressed one step better than the usual wear for that position. If you would wear a T-shirt to a job, wear a shirt with a collar (polo or button-up shirt). If you would work in a collar, wear a tie. If you wear a tie, then wear a suit.

The point is that if you go in wearing a dirty T-shirt and ripped jeans, the management will assume that you will go represent the company at a customer site wearing something worse.

For anything that is done in a classroom setting, "business casual" (collared shirt) is quite sufficient.

 

I guess thqat means my pink and green zebra striped tuxedo and 4' tall "Cat-In-The-Hat" hat is out of the question

 

I don't know PChase that might impress them.

 

Nice (clean) jeans and a button down shirt plus boots or tennis shoes. Remember its a job interview, plus when you go into receivers and shippers, they do look at how you are dressed and how you smell LOL.

 

I agree....nice pair of jeans, nice shoes/boots and a nice polo type shirt of collared button shirt.

I was very surprised when I emailed my recruiter about this very thing....here's the question and her response in red :
2) What is the dress code during orientation? Jeans, shorts, anything casual

 

Before you go to work for prime read this.

I think you can do better with another company then prime.
My husband drove for them for about 4 months. He went to work for them with all the great benefits. He wanted to lease is own truck and become his own boss. Will the first 2 weeks of work was good. Because on the lease program he was on a program that make sure you make 1,000.00 a week. They do not take out the truck payment for the first two weeks that your our out. The third week out is when the fun starts... You start to pay for your truck payment on top of everything else. The totaling of all expences for the truck is going to be about 2500.00 per week. My husband is a dam great driver and he is very dependable drive. He was always on time never late wot any appt. He never took time off at home like he should have been able to do. He never refused aload, oh and you don't want to do that it makes them mad we heard. The frieght was not paying enough to make the truck expences and to make a living off of it.... So to all the drivers that want to work for prime as a lease / company driver beware they need you to work for them so they can pay for all all all all the empty trucks and the fancy building in springfield. That is no ####. Ask around,

 

Tanya,

Again your story changes on how long your husband worked at prime. All you do is complain about the company.

 

just stay as a company driver.

 

What would you recommend wearing to orientation?

 

...and of course, you and your husband have no responsibility in this situation for the mess you ended up in.

Funny how so many of us do just fine on the lease side.
