    Not sure really how you did that, but when I went through filling out the paper application back in June, the lady was very picky that we all fill out the past 10 years of work history regardless if we had prior driving experience or not. I know the online application doesn't ask for all of that. She told me it had to do with regulations from the FMCSA requiring the past 10 year
    s.
    Again, online application doesn't ask for it. The paper application you fill out when you get to Prime does ask for the past 10 years. I am saying this all based off of my experience. I know the lady doing the orientation was filling in until they found a new person to do it at the SLC term. SPRIMO term may be different rules and staffed with people who know what they are doing :) Just better going prepared with the info in hand and not needing it versus trying to call someone at home to have them look it up.

    As much info that you have with you the faster and easier the background check and hire process goes. At a minimum have name of employer, the month and you were started and quit that employer, the city, and the state. If you have names of supervisors and phone numbers they get really happy ;)

    Good luck!

    Company drivers are getting .01/mile raise.

    They're increasing the fuel bonus. And TNT guarantee for trainees is increasing by$100. C seat is now $600 and B seats $700.

    boom... You heard it here.

    I hope this is substantiated through official channels soon. This would be excellent news.

    St Thomas was a doubter too. While I'm not JC, I've never passed on bad Prime information here at TTR.

    Robert Low made the announcement himself.... So all you company driver, ask your fleet managers.
     
    Chucktshoes Thanks this.

    My FM knew nothing about the company driver raise but did say there is a change to the fuel bonus.

    I didn't mean to cause offense, I am just cautious about counting on information not from official channels. I've spent a long time in corporate retail and have been burned multiple times before.

    By the way, I like the screen name. They are my favorite classic sneaker. :)

    Looks like it's this week, I'm now making a whole penny more than I did last week.
