ask your questions about prime inc here

Question for Prime drivers. I've been terminated from 2 non driving jobs in the past 3 years. I'm currently attending cdl school and Prime is my first choice will they hire me? I ask because on the Prime application it asked if you have ever been terminated from employment. How strict are they about this?

 

Just got off phone with recruiter, application approved, hopefully I will make it to Springfield before May. Time to get a DOT physical and permit. I decided I wanted to arrive with a permit, I know I have to get Prime's DOT physical. Less than a week from application to approval. My recruiter was(is) wonderful. Looking forward to what will be my last career change, given I am not that far from retirement age. Couple things that may be of interest:

-if you already have a passport, you don't need the official birth certificate. That is good as I have a passport, complete with Iraq residency permit, but can't find my birth cert.

-if you are unemployed, BUT in the National Guard or Reserves, that part-time work counts as employment. I was a bit worried about that.

Hope to meet some of you Prime guys one day! And others on here, of course.

 

Yes they do

 

As long as you don't lie to them almost anything is waiverable. Ask the recruiter to be sure

 

thanks much

 

How often is the flatbed division hitting the NYC area.
Personally try to stay out it and get minimal exposure around it.
Don't mind going to major metros, just that one.


What is the bulk of flatbed freight Prime is running? Where from and to?

 

im new to flatbeds starting at prime on 23rd do you have to buy all that stuff to start or is there a smaller list to start with . my father is retired flatbed said he has a lot of equipment he would give to me. any info would be great thanks

 

You'll need to have the minimum equipment required on your truck before you're allowed out of the yard on your first dispatch.

 

thanks for info are you in flatbeds if so how long. are you a trainer.
