    Ironpony.....

    I went to my FM I had during training to see if he could tell me who my new FM would be and if he could throw a good word out there for me. All he was willing to do was call me when he finds out. I went over to the leasing office to ask about a truck assignment and they were no help and told me once I found out who my FM was, he would assist me and get me with the right person to "get in line for a truck".

    The main problem I see is nobody is willing to give straight answers on the process, I've ask!!

    Not complaining, just getting a little frustrated is all.
    With that said, tomorrow I will get to meet my new FM and I'm supposed to get Truck Assignment....we will see.

    It's good practice for what you're going to go through. Good luck...

    Cat, you work for Prime? Or is that speculation?

    I understand... it can certainly be frustrating! Especially when all you want is to be rolling!!!

    No, but trucking will test your patience in the best of times. And starting a new job with a maga is tough

    Many moons ago when I upgraded we didn't get assigned our truck until Thursday.

    As an instructor/trainer all I know as fact is A seat upgrade classes start Monday afternoon and Prime starts paying the Hotel bill on Sunday night. So that's my window for dropping off a trainee if I want a quick turn around out of the terminal.

    You started complaining on Tues.

    Are you "that guy " who starts bothering the Success staff the minute he gets to town? The guy who jumps on the shuttle on his lunch break to see what they got.

    Why weren't you sent to SLC? Maybe because you aren't thru all the upgrade classes?

    Chill

    1) I don't think I was complaining at all, I was just posting a status update.

    2) No, I wasn't "That Guy"!! I did however go over today AFTER talking to another person that did and got on the list, I figured it would not hurt to ask and try to be a little proactive.

    3) I doubt I was sent to SLC on Tuesday, because yes, I wasn't. What's your point? That was never an issue....but thanks for your input!
