    No, it does not keep the motor warm. It give you power, heat and A/C when the truck is off. When it's working of course!!! LOL

    Hey Prime drivers. I was doing a research on a lot of companies and that I seen Prime training program would be free as long as I stay 1 year driving with them. Im currently a bus driver trying to get experience on being a truck driver. I currently hold a CDL Class B. Any info about getting hired would help thanks

    I have a question regarding full disclosure to prime. I have not had a ticket or incident while driving a vehicle within the past 5 years. The most serious offense I have on my record is driving without insurance but that was almost ten years ago. I have never had a DUI or an accident and only four speeding tickets the highest of which was 11 mph over the speed limit and I believe the last speeding ticket I received was 4 or 5 years ago. When filling out the application packet during orientation will I be required to disclose all of the information?

    I have also read mention of antidepressants having to be disclosed for the medical qualifications. I was receiving treatment through my college for depression but stopped treatment over 2 years ago. The treatment was voluntary and I didn't feel that it was helping much. The doctor I was working with diagnosed me as being depressive bipolar. I have not received treatment or taken medication in 2 years. Does this need to be disclosed?

    I'd let the recruiters know about everything on your driving record... it will show up, and by disclosing it up front you remove any question of honesty. OTOH, the anti-depressant was two years ago, and you're not taking them now. That's old history that doesn't need to be mentioned.

    5 year old tickets should NOT be a factor
    anything for the last 3 years is normally what they ask & look for

    It's not a "factor" but it will show up on his long-form driving record... it's all there from the first time you flipped off a cop driving after you turned 18. The investigators will see it... and if the poster just goes ahead and tells recruiting about it up front there will be zero questions. Suggesting applicants hide anything on their driving or criminal records is stupid. OTOH, a drug you haven't taken in 2 years is ancient history... there's nothing to show the poster took it, so why mention it?
