    It'd be nice if folks would keep the ####-chat on the other threads. Oh well...

    Dispatcher got me back home early in order to get me to my VA appointments.

    So far he's been nothing but accommodating.

    :)

    TNT is really tough constantly team driving 1100 miles a day is kicking my butt. But I have about 10000 done already. And my trainer is not as easy to get along with than he was at the beginning cant really please him. I am stuck driving the night shift which really sucks too.
     
    BigJayDragon Thanks this.

    If your having problems with your trainer, then switch. Call your training coordinator and advise him/her the problems you are having.

    Prime sent me orientation and career path information today. It explains pay and any other questions I have had and couldnt get a clear answer on from the website, im not sure why they wait so long to fill you in on this info. Some people have to leave current careers and make big lifestyle changes to come to this training. You wanna know your making the right decidion before you quit your job and get up there. Its kind of a big deal you know?

    Any way you could PM me that information? Their website is hard to follow.

    The website could stand to be updated with clearer information, but most of the info you're looking for can be found on this and other threads.

    Yes and yes.

    Read through the whole thread, or check out the what to expect thread- it's all covered in detail in several places, even if piecemeal.
