New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

If I go OTR... what are my options for accessing internet? do truck stops have wifi? Or do I have to buy an access plan?

 

There is truck stop WiFi, it varies in speed and signal strength. Its also prone to dropping a connection when a truck passes between you and the antenna. That won't help you in BFE when you need a connection to help you with your job. You'll need a national cell plan in any case, and most of them have a data package bundled with them. Coverage is important, since a lot of what we do is in the boonies.

 

TNT pay is going up again to $800 per week.

 

Really ? That maybe enough to kick me in the butt soon

 

I found that at the truck stop you can't get onto WiFi if they have their own

 

Is the $800 TnT pay for the student or the trainer? When is this supposed to kick in? I should be starting orientation in SpriMo on Jan. 19th... would I be coming in to this ?

Has this $800 been confirmed by anyone yet? Or is this just a hearsay rumor?

 

Best way to access internet otr is a smartphone. Then if you feel you need to you can always tether your phone to your laptop for internet on your laptop.

 

I forgot that I could do that... thanks.

 

Best way to get updated information is through a recruiter. Only they have the most up to date information that you can get from the source instead of going through someone else.

 

If you do, do it make sure you have unlimted data as if you do not you will use up a good bit of your data plan without even noticing it.
