OK, I have been talking with a recruiter and here is how she answered a direct question today. No biggie but if it is correct then screw Prime.
They mention a 250 or so bonus if you get your CDL on your first attempt so I asked how many time they let you take it if you fail the first try.
She told me that if you pass you get the money, if you fail after the first attempt they send you home. WTF?
Can someone clarify this because this makes no sense.
Thanks as always.....

See what Contract Freighters Inc. has to offer. They have their own cdl school in Joplin,MO or will pay for private cdl school. It's a dry van company. cfidrive.com is the website.
crb Thanks this. -
They won't send you home, I think you get 3 tries. If you still fail they'll send you back out with a trainer. Ultimately your trainer shouldn't bring you back to test out until your ready.
redoctober83 and FullMetalJacket Thank this. -
Thanks. Why did she tell me that? Pissed me off.

Recruiters aren't always known for being the brightest bulbs in the box.
You have AT LEAST three tries.morpheus and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
Most recruiters are clueless, their job is to fill an empty seat. It is not in Prime's, or any other companies best interest to fail you. You passed the background, Medical, and drug test, they have seats to fill and sending someone home does not fill them, especially since you were not weeded out.morpheus Thanks this.

I have talked to a few drivers. They were/ are Conway, XPO. Drivers said they were unsure what was going on with the recent buyout.

The only recruiter that I have talked to who has directly and quickly answered my questions is from CRST. She told me straight up, you get at least 3 tries.

Recruiters are.. difficult.
If I was a recruiter and I had to lie as part of my work I would have shot myself a long time ago.
I think there is or was only three or so recruiters Ive ever met that was worth a ####. One did turn kinda like a bad stew stored too long on shelf after I got hired. No more sunshine, now it's the whip. I called him Hyde. he he he.
As far as topic... if you are so hard up as to be lured by a chance of 250 dollars then you best sit and think it through. 250 is too small. Make it a thousand. Those schools are expensive.morpheus Thanks this. -
God no, 250? I was fishing for info from her and when it was paid out. 250 would not lure me. Nothing worse than a 50 cent prostitute.x1Heavy Thanks this.
