    Does anyone know if Prime still has a long waiting list for female students to get a trainer?

    I would say probably... best thing to do would be to call the recruiters. Its mostly due to the lack of female drivers at Prime who are willing to train or instruct.

    Yeah, I've heard through the grape vine that the waiting list is several months if not upwards of a year. Again, this is just what I've heard, so your best bet is to check with a recruiter who knows for sure. But I can pretty much guarantee there will be a wait of some sort.
     
    road dust Thanks this.

    Business class for lease ops. You take a months worth of settlements, and they go over your business with you to see what can be done to improve it.

    We mostly haul meats, produce, and things that need to be frozen such as Ice Cream and such. I'm delivering a load of Tyson Chicken to a cold storage facility as I type this. Had Potatoes before this load. Beef the load before that.

    Being a refrigerated carrier gives us a lot of diversity. Turn the reefer off and we suddenly become a dry van carrier. Reefer on and we can haul anything that needs to be frozen or refrigerated. So we really do a little bit of everything. But food wise, we mostly haul perishables.

    Oh, and beer. :biggrin_2559:

    I've hauled everything from pharmaceuticals to toothpaste to freon and other hazmat chemicals, to pumpkin pies and vegetables. I still get a kick when I haul something new. :biggrin_25526:

    Isn't that the product that forces me to start out in 2nd gear on the slightest of inclines? :biggrin_25523:

    And notarps, I'll leave that to you. You all are a different breed for sure. I'd rather wait 12hrs at a grocery warehouse than hop up on my load to strap and tarp it in zero degree weather......or 70 degree weather. :biggrin_2559: No thanks!
