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

Hello Rick and good luck with palmer. You seam to be well aware that you're going to have to change you're zip to get into the hiring area. So I don't I understand what your question is?

 

Wasn't going to do JPT, because I don't want to go through the hassle of re-licensing.

The question was, I guess - more related to: how does one deal with maintaining an address, when you aren't maintaining an actual home? I could find a friend living in a good zip. and see if I could get them to let me use their address. Not quite 100% legal though. How do "homeless drivers", deal with an address for their license?

Thanks,

Rick

 

I understand from a tour video that I watched, that the Prime Terminal in Springfield, MO (and probably the other one in Pennsylvania) has a fully functional post office, complete with P. O. Boxes. You could probably get one of those and use it as your mailing address.

 

They do, but you can't get a box there until after you complete TNT.

I would recommend getting a PO box in a good zipcode and make that your home of record.

 

They have you sign a paper saying you won't do that when you get the po box. Besides he needs the address changed before he can get hired.

 

All I can tell you is how I do it and that would require you taking a trip to south dakota to change your residency, and I don't you're think interested in doing that.

 

Is that all PO boxes or just the ones at Prime? I was referring to getting one locally and doing that as I knew it needed to be done prior to getting hired.

 

Ohhh

 

If you update with anything you find out that would be great as I am almost in the same position as yourself. I do have a relative in MD that offered to let me use his address, but considering how much documentation(proof of residency, utility bills etc), is needed to change driver's license I would rather leave that as a last resort. There is also the issue of per-diem and possibly having to prove domicile at tax time.

A "home time waiver" does seem like a golden ticket, but I have yet to hear of companies offering that which is surprising as I get the impression most OTR companies would rather it if you never saw your home again.
