Prime: Orientation and Training?

never said it was the instructors fault

trust me i have met a few that are not cut out to be drivers.

Hubby is an instructor, lol im on his side.

 

Got into Springfield and was able to test this am. Had to do a complete pre-trip and the left parrallell park along with the standard straight back and offset. I passed all that but got dinged on the road test and will retake it in the am. I turned left with what I perceived to be plenty of time to clear before oncoming traffic....Jim didn't see it that way....lol. Myself and one other person were the only ones to pass the backing this am with one guy failing for the third time this am. All in all I am pleased and hope to knock out the road test in the am and get to DMV by 1230 when they close. There is still a large percentage of fails but Prime is looking at ways to improve that. Will update later.

Will you update in the AM? Or the PM? I prefer the AM. Its better than the PM. Dont you like the AM too?

 

Finally got accepted to Prime. Going to Springfield on July 7th. Thanks to all who helped with advice. Whether it was posted in the AM or the PM!

 

Emton when did u get accepted and what did they tell you? Did you recieve your bus ticket already? Jus wanted to know If the procedure was the same... Thanks

 

emton let me know how it goes i am still thinking of going 2 prime how long did it take u to get accepted?

 

Ill be arriving at prime in Springfield as well on the 30th to be ready for the july 1 starting date, but im not doing the training class i already have my cdl so i guess ill be attending a day or so practice and maneuvers then heading out on the road asap,so i been told in a sense...See how it goes i guess. Anyone else arriving for the july 1st class?

 

I'm in the June 30th Class, driving down from NH on the 28/29. So glad I am done with retail this Friday. I look forward to my new career and hopefully meeting some of you out in Springfield or on the road. Anyone else arriving on June 30th?

 

I guess it took about 4-5 weeks to get to this point. I don't do Greyhound and Amtrak don't do SW MO so I'll be driving down.
Funny thing. I get a new laptop to take on the road and apparently the desktop got jealous. Crapped out the day the new one arrived. Serendipity?
Mom's sure gonna be disappointed if I don't get it up and running!

 

I'll be driving as well out of Rootstown,Ohio myself so i got a bit of a drive to come down, Only thing i dont like thus far is the fact of having to leave my personal vehicle there at Springfield while im gone all the 4+months ill be away on training over the road & such. And I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna get my vehicle back to ohio after training is thru & what not, then get back to my own prime truck.....That is if prime decides to offer me a job & keep me. I guess it will all be figured out as time goes on.
