    Instructor in the passenger seat is explicitly explained at PSD orientation, plus the procedures for reporting problems.

    Either you didnt pay attention at orientation or chose to ignore the rules out on the road and left for some other reason that you might be embarrased to relate here.

    Yeah, I dont think they will take you back. You'd have a tough time convincing anyone that some how no one told you it was illegal to drive on a permit without your instructor sitting next to you.

    You liked it? Didnt have much of a problem with it did you?

    My Driving is perfect Thank you very much. I said I liked driving on the road if I was by myself I would have loved it. I know it was against the rules but I did report it.... reason why I am typing this.

    I certainly wouldn't mention you knew it was against the rules and you did it any way.

    A. A few minor errors or perfect?

    B. It is explicitly stated in PSD orientation that the instructor is to be in the passenger seat at all times, and if he leaves the seat you are to IMMEDIATELY stop the truck and report it. You say you allowed it to go on for a whole week before reporting it. This is a terminable offense and incredibly illegal. Why should Prime risk the liability of letting you come back to them?

    Puresky 91:If I was a owner of a company I wouldn't rehire u due to the fact that YOU are accountable for the acts that u committed. You saw the wrongdoing and instead of doing right, You failed to do that. Thus why I wouldn't take u on because of how can I trust u now???


    sound like to me you were eager to drive and caught up in the sparkle of truck driving and u forgot the rules that was given. Sound harsh but you should've known better and I pray you learner a lesson.

    Welcome to the world of Prime or trucking in general, no sympathy for your plight (unfortunate situation), only tainted egotism, drivers consumed in their socialized narcissism.

    I understand your plight, you permitted yourself to become a victim, to achieve your desired goal of obtaining your license.

    Drivers, you should be ashamed for having judged him so harshly.

    I will be harsh now: STAY OFF THIS THREAD UNLESS IT IS A QUESTION ABOUT COMING TO PRIME!!!! START YOUR OWN DARNED THREAD, THEN BLOW IT UP. THIS THREAD IS INTENDED TO INFORM PEOPLE OF THE EXPERIENCE YOU WILL HAVE COMING TO PRIME AS A NEWBIE. IT'S NOT A PLACE TO TELL YOUR STORY, SOBBING, CELEBRATING, OR WHATEVER.... START YOUR OWN THREAD!!!!

    That is all..... I'm hungry.
