    What kind of questions do Prime doctors ask during the physical? Do they ask about past Worker's Compensation claims?

    It took almost a week and a half before my recruiter got back to me after I put in my app. I think they check the apps pretty close before they contact you.

    That may be good. Ive never heard anything good about prime. Used to live close to their base in Springfield,Mo.A 23 yr old kid at work got his CDL and started working there. He was all excited(they told him he was going to make $2000 on his first check. Seems like he got about $400 after they took out for his lease purchase and taxes and all. This was for 2 weeks with him running all over the place. Well,he worked about 2 more weeks and quit.

    Possibly... you may have to provide documentation depending on what happened.

    Prime isn't the perfect company, but it is one of the better starter companies. That guy going into a lease program half blind isn't Prime's fault. I made good money at Prime and would still be there if i didn't find my dream trucking job. Prime always treated me with respect, from day one training for my CDL, and from my last day. Of course there might be bad trainers now and then and higher ups.

    The only problem I have with Prime is its ok for recruiters to lie, but any trainee who is caught in a lie gets to find their own way back.

    I don't plan on lying to anyone, and will not put myself in that situation. I just don't know if I should bring up an old injury since it has healed and has been 100% released.

    It's the standard DOT physical form, so they'll ask you about your medical history. Be truthful.
