ask your questions about prime inc here

You were told in psd class to make contact every week and to not be sitting beside the instructor when you call

That's not something that was up to your TNT trainer to tell you

 

Not all trainers are like this guy!! You need to report him and tell explain what all has been going on. He doesnt need to be a trainer at ALL!! My trainer wasnt perfect, but we got along. We still talk actually. He cant help me quite as much being a reefer trainer, but general stuff he can. Dont really need any help right now, but ya never know. Mostly just friends now. Good luck on your upgrade and dont be a stranger!

 

Figment, and anyone else reading this: You need to have a personal conversation with Stan, that thin tall man with the mild manner that you met during orientation. Tell him about this TnT behavior.

2 Rules: 1. Contact your FM weekly, away from the trainer. I encourage my trainees to call.
2. Fill out the survey about your training experience honestly. Prime, believe it or not, is all about integrity as a corporate value. YOu will have to fill out the survey before you complete your upgrade.. If you don't get the chance, start asking questions... someone will get you that survey.

 

As far as I know, it shouldn't be a problem. It will depend on your FM as well - has to be the agreeable sort (most of them are) and not one of the control freaks. There's always one way to get the heck outta the NE regional gig - go talk to the flathead... err... flatbed boys and switch divisions!

On trainers... yup there is no reason to put up with the Bravo Sierra figment is going through. Report the jerk, and ask for a different trainer. As far as my trainer is concerned, he's a lumper these days... at least the last time I talked to him a couple of years ago. Must have broken the dude's spirit!

 

Thanks drivers . you all have been great help and i appreciate all the sound advice. i will be sure to fill out the survey as well maybe i can save someone in the future from this guy.

 

Just a word of advice, having some management background, fill out as honestly as possible with only the complaints you can prove. It can get sticky if this gets forwarded to a higher level and a lot of the time they will want you to prove your accusations before they will go after him to defend them.

 

Just hoping I good get some current info on what to expect during oreintation,I will be a long way from home,plus Im a little worried about the interviews once I get there.I have been excepted to Prime and Swift both orientataions the same week,I have chosen to go to Prime instead so I hope it works out,and also does not going to orientation for the other go on your DAC?I graduated the end of June and have had some problems getting on somewhere so I am ready to get to work,and dont want to screw myself up,,Thanks for any assistance..

 

what speed are the trucks set at for company flatbed drivers?

 

pedal 58 cruise 62 which i think is the same for all company drivers

 

FLATBED RULES!!!! I can see how that would happen...

Not sure bout the DAC. Its a good company. Enjoyed my time here so far

Depends on how heavy the load is and how tall/long the hill is
