    This is a great thread thanks for all the info. I start Smith and Solomon next week and I'm looking to go to prime as soon as I finish. I'm in Mount Vernon NY I see them on i95, 684, and 84 all the time they even deliver to a warehouse down the street from me. I haven't been able to catch up with a driver yet. Does anyone know exactly what States consists of there northeast regional division? How often could I expect to be home?

    correct me if I am wrong, but trainers can't have pets. So you out of the training business?

    I know for a fact Instructors can't have them.

    NY, PA, VA and all the New England states. Miles run in that region are eligible for the NE regional bonus if you're on that fleet. On a run from Boston to say Miami, you'd be paid NE bonus for Boston through VA, but south of there would just get the regular OTR rate.

    Thanks IP. How important is the reference and employment verification? I've been at my job for 8 years and my seasonal job for 3. Are they looking for paper work stating how long I've been employed or just verbal confirmation from like my supervisor? The problem I'm facing is if they need official documents the lady in human resources, if your not apart of her fan club she just doesn't play fair when it comes to things like this. She's not going to give them the information they request or return any phone calls to them. She's not going out of her way. She once screwed up a guys workman's comp case for months by not submitting paper work or returning phone calls just to give you an idea of plays. I have a letter from her stating how long I've been employed there and my income information I told her it was for housing it took weeks to get but I got it would that be accepted as employment verification? What options do I have for this?

    They'll call your last employment for verification. If this is going to be a problem, you should stay on top of it with your recruiter. Sometimes they'll use tax records after they don't get a response from the company.

    Make sure you pass this onto the recruiters as well.

    I definitely will. I start school this weekend and will be applying to prime when I'm done. This was the one thing I was worried about getting in my way. Thanks IP

    Puppy is only a guest en route to my kiddos, leaving him at home.

    Anyhow, the rules prohibit pets, but I've seen exceptions made for some instructors. I personally would not have a dog and a PSD on the same truck. I only need one pet. :p
     
    T-Dub Thanks this.
