New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

Why are you still stuck on 80,000 miles? How many times do you need to be told those are the old numbers?

Sorry those are not old numbers. That is the numbers the recruiters are saying. Also driving teams isn't training. It's plain and simple driving teams.

 

I don't want to name any names of which recruiter we are talking about, but I'm seriously starting to think the recruiter doesn't know what he/she is talking about. I appreciate you as a trainer commenting on this. Is there a particular recruiter you could recommend we could talk to? My husband is coming in with his cdl class a already in hand just no otr experience.

 

Just remember that recruiters are relatively low-pay employees whose job is to get applicants in the door. They change almost as fast as new drivers do. You'll get better - and MUCH more diverse - information here from folks in the know.

 

I wish this topic would have been closed to everyone... It would have been even more beneficial, IMHO, if all this thread was, was a list of your amazingly detailed and descriptive description (wow... not trying to kiss ###, but I do love this thread... and those are lots of "d" words lol) of what goes on without the interjection of hey thanks and great posts and then the inevitable questions that have already been asked and answered a million times. Somehow this became the new question thread when there is already a question thread. I would think that if it was just a listing of all silenteagle's posts, then it would actually be read by people, instead of people asking questions at the end of the thread that were answered within the thread, but nobody reads said thread.

Sorry. Rant over. Sitting in the tractor bay getting my APU fixed/PMed and am a little bored.

 

I am getting ready to go up there on the 22nd or 23rd and can't wait. As for all the time required for training, I'm all for it because I am a complete newbie so I need the hand holding. I personally think that Prime's program is really good for the new person and that's why I chose them. Now I've got the butterflies and have spent about 2 hours studying today for the permit. I've been trying to study everyday about an hour or so. Hopefully I will pass it on the first try Monday. That will give me time to get packed and ready to head up to Springfield.
