Coming Soon - Jan. 31 2012 - A New Prime Experience

I have the Verizon broadband card, It works great. Even used it last year while riding the Greyhound to PRIME. Don't get sucked in by the others, get Verizon

 

Good start! Pass the permit tests n you'll be rolling

 

I just went through the PSD Orientation last week. Do everything possible to have your CDL permit in hand before you go, it WILL make a difference. I'm on the road now, 37 hours into the first phase.

 

Feels good to be on the road doesn't it?

 

I guess I'll answer this, everyone else seemed to blow right by this important question. Coming to Prime with a permit is great, but you really dont want to get sent home for not showing up with the REALLY important paperwork about your medical condition!

Prescription packaging will be no good. You need to call your recruiter and find out exactly what they need from your doctor before you come.

It will be a letter from your doctor, however Im not sure what that letter entails.

Even then, I would still have your Doctor's phone number on hand when you come to Prime in case Prime's Doc has any questions.

 

Dont worry yourself too much. You are being treated... as to the level of information they want from your doc, Im not sure, but the recruiter can point you in the right direction.

 

JUst as a followup on what U2 has said. I passed a kidney stone before I showed up for training. The doc of course had me on pain meds during it, Morphine and Vicadine. I made sure I had the emergency room records, a letter from my Doctor, and my doctors fax nbr and phone nbr. Needless to say, the DOT nurse, dismissed all my documentation, ordered new reports from the Emergency room, a new letter from my Doctor, and my medical records. What they got back from them was the EXACT same thing I brought, but since it was from them it was okay . lol, MAKE sure you take any and all documentation, your doctors nbr and fax nbr. Also talk to your doctor BEFORE you leave and make them aware that they will be contacted via fax and they need to respond pronto. Once they DOT nurse sends faxes in the paperwork, followup with your docs office with a phome call to make sure they received it and are acting on it. BTW the DOT doc and crew are actually contracted I believe to Prime, and while are pretty cool, do not take any short cuts. Good luck, and make sure you followup with your recruiter on any and all concerns before you go.

 

HWY, Yes, they ordered new ones direct from the source. And yes, if you'd known that you *might* have saved yourself some aggro running around getting all that. But look at it this way. Your stuff matched the stuff they got from the ER, etc. Do you feel like a little kid that someone had to check on, possibly. HOWEVER, you did have ample time to change those documents you had in your hand. Not saying you did or would, but some have tried. Everything matched, so their trust meter went up a little bit. IF you hadn't had the documents, you would have been on hold until they could be obtained.
