Understand the recruiter being overwhelmed with work, however don't understand setting an appointment with me and then not showing or following up. Not sure how it is in the trucking world, but where I am from it is unprofessional and just plain rude. I have plenty of patience, however not so much money.

 

Amen on the money issue boss. Agree that setting an appointment and missing is bad form too. Just trying to keep things positive.

 

Yeah I expect things to turn out for the best, and Prime is still my first choice, especially since Knight my other first choice won't school residents of NJ. Looking at Millis and Stevens as well, but think that Prime is the most attractive option for students. Another stress I have is I just received a job offer that I will have to refuse if I go away to trucking school, but don't want to turn down a job only to learn I will not be going away to school.

 

That's a tough situation, I wish you the best. Who knows we may end up in Springfield at the same time.

 

I'm a new prime driver, I have been with them about 3 months, I'm trying to find out how to become a trainer. I was a trainer prior to going to work for prime. But I only want to train a friend of mine that is coming to work for prime.

 

Get with your FM he/she has to recommend you to begin with. Once recommended then you have a class to attend, its 1 week for PSD and 1-2 days for TNT. Then you have to get your truck and get it ready. They would not issue me a truck until I finished class, I was PSD trainer. As far as only wanting to train one guy, your FM will most likely not let you off that easy, and will have you a student/trainee hooked on to you as soon as you get rid of the last student. Price of being a trainer with a full sized truck lol. Trainers are hard to come by these days.

 

Quick update, talked to Prime recruiter, he was having trouble contacting a former employer. Talked to employer, he didn't recognize the # and thought it was spam. Hopefully my application will be approved soon!

 

Anyone run the Lewiston, ME dedicated route if so what are the pros and cons and pay like i'm looking at coming to prime in the next couple of months

 

How do you get stuff like coolant, fuel additive, or whatever? Do you just hit "yes" at the fuel pump when it asks if you want to buy stuff inside?

oh yeah, anyone use their APU's heater? I've got a rigmaster and theres an option for it on the control panel, but it just blows out cool air. My bunk heater works fine, but if something thermostat-controlled would be nice.

 

Ye's just select to get additional things inside. And the apu's don't have heat on the controls just the bunk heater unfortunately.
