ask your questions about prime inc here

How far does Prime go back into your work history? How many years?

 

Federal law mandates Prime or any trucking company go back ten years.

 

Ten years for experienced drivers. For students or inexperienced drivers who haven't held a job in the industry, they'll want 3 years of employment history. Be prepared to document your work history with W2's, a tax return, etc... they don't like being surprised by someone trying to hide previous driving experience. Especially if there's tickets, crashes, etc.

 

I think it says something good about Prime and/or IP that there is still a thread going after 368+ pages. I read the first 50 and couldn't wait to see how it turned out so I skipped to the end, as if I was reading a good mystery book. Only 320 more pages of posts to go.

I put in an app last night and am waiting to hear back. I posted some questions on this Prime tanker thread http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/prime/209600-prime-tanker-experience-so-far.html as I was interested in the tanker side of Prime. A couple of questions there have already been answered here, I think.

Appreciate all the good straight-up info I have come across in this thread so far.

 

Anyone here ever haul dead cluckers out of Hope Arkansas? I have an ugly issue with my load

 

They forgot to kill them?

 

lol, no. I got the trailer and it was already loaded and sealed. I had to drop the temp from 0 to -10 per FM. I got to my 90 and a pallet was slightly slumped a bit and there is a mess of clucker goo in the floor. From the sheer amount if it I just hope it's residual ick from the loaders at the 01

 

You'll never have the joy of pullin' a load of bleeding combos out of Plainview. Bleeds a bucket every time you stop...

 

LOL, Pulled 2 loads of Chicken left overs into the Pet Solutions plant in AR, both were 1 shift runs. Thank God as I left a trail of chicken Goo everywhere I went. Both loads were drop and hook at the 90, I think it would have taken a shift just to wash out the trailers after unloading.
