09/24/2013 Orientation

Well I leave tomorrow (Saturday 09/21/2013) for the Springfield MO Prime orientation. I'm going in with my CDL Permit DOT Card and DMV longform which I found out is useless because Prime will issue me a new one when I got it 3 weeks ago.. Lol anyways I'm hoping for the best. I already have the basic knowledge of driving (Been driving for about a month now) It's a 1 day and 15hr bus ride which I'm really looking forward too. I've done a lot of research and am comfortable with my decision to go ahead with Prime. Get my one year done then come back home and work. Orientation from what I heard seems pretty normal. Glad I already have my permit and knowledge so will put me a little ahead somewhat. I've read most of the threads but just seeing if anyone wants to offer some last advice etc!

Wish me luck everyone!

 

I'm coming out of California

It took about a week only because my old boss was impossible to reach, and I had to call most of my references etc because it was taking a lot longer than usual to get a fax back to them etc. My recruiter was really nice and helped me through the process even had to call her 50 times lol. If you can get a hold of your references etc it will speed up the process much quicker and don't have like 50 jobs for them to call etc

 

Thanks, Yeah was a pain in the ### getting in. I'm going in with a positive attitude and making the best out of my journey! I hope everything works out. Physical I should be good my BP is usually around 128/65 highest 135/80 So everything should be good!

Haha that's my plan!

 

haha no worries!
Yeah they fax over a paper that verifies employment. Should be smooth sailing as long as you wern't laid off for something dumb and driving record clean.

Good luck man, I will keep everyone updated with a step by step daily how orientation was etc, seeing some of these threads are a little older.
