    Thanks azsteve. I am putting all my cards on the table for this opportunity and I am all in. This needs to happen to avoid going homeless this winter. Long story made short, I work seasonal jobs and need something steady fast lol. Failure is not an option for me. Plus OTR trucking has been a dream of mine since I was a small child and I finally got the testicular fortitude to take the step and go for it.

    Phones worst way to get ahold of them as always so busy. Usually difficult.. Email is usually the best bet.

    Maybe any other recruiter you can get ahold of could provide her email to you.
     
    Chucktshoes and Scouse13 Thank this.

    phone is the hardest way to get a hold of me too! lol. Thanks for the idea, maybe I could get another recruiter to give me her email. She seemed kinda sketchy about email when i talked to her last. Made me kind of suspicious. I wonder if I could get another recruiter :biggrin_25525:

    Ha ha......... You mean 'old' truck!

    '08 Freighty Century that's definately seen better days. Purt near a million miles on her. Definately not representative of Prime's normal fleet. Only top notch, well maintained, late model equipment there. Just trying to get her to make it through end of the year, then hopefully get a new one.

    Beautifull area around you. Really love Williams. Stop at the Pilot in Bellemont whenever I go through.

    Trip back east is going to take me north of AZ. Too bad I didn't catch you earlier today or yesterday. Could have had a pow wow. Will let you know if around again.

    No.

    Run team for an owner operator that leases on his three trucks to Prime along with us. Still considered a Prime employee, too.

    Went through Prime's program, and was lucky enough to be offered an opportunity by O/O right from the start.

    Will be starting as a trainer soon.

    Oh that's a good deal . I am ready to do what I want instead of doing what everyone else wants me to. I do like flagstaff area its great if you like to hunt. I grew up on the east coast. Dairy farming it.

    Sorry for getting you all excited there azsteve. I never went through Prime's training program, wish I had. Got suckered into another company and ran with them until my 8 month contract was up. Actually left the day it ended and came right over to Prime. They through me straight into a LW truck and I have been making double what I was making at my old company. I am very very happy here :). I try to help as many people as I can so they don't make the same mistake I did going to that other company or companies like it. I wouldn't even send my worst enemy there.... Well maybe if they were really bad ;-) just kidding, I wouldn't send anyone there at all!

    Good luck out there and I hope you can get everything squared away for you family so you can come join this amazing company! (Yes I might have drunken to much of the Prime Kool Aid)
     
    azsteve and Chucktshoes Thank this.
