Getting started with Prime... Application last night, first recruiter call today.

First off, I'd like to thank everyone here in the Prime forums for all of the continuous helpful advice. I've been reading along for nearly a year, now. It has become my pre sleep ritual. I can't even read the forums during the day, as it is my educational 'comfort' before I doze off.

I've been contemplating the career for most of my life, and things have recently fallen in place to make it all work out. I am 34 years old, live in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, no criminal history, and only a seat belt violation on my MVR.

Last night I filled out the application and spoke with Julie in recruiting this afternoon. The only bump in the road thus far is that I transferred my license from out of state to TN just over three years ago and I cannot seem to find my previous license number anywhere. I spent hours today scouring the internet trying to find a service which could help with this, to no avail. Thus far it looks as though I will have to mail a notarized letter to Illinois and Ohio and wait 14-21 days for their (hopeful) reply. This is putting me a bit behind schedule to get to training, but it seems it might be the only way. If anyone has any other ideas please share.

Thanks again for all of your assistance, and I look forward to meeting many of you on the road.

 

Thanks for the advice!!

 

Thanks for all the help, everyone.

I got an idea and called a good friend who owns a pizza place, he was able to run my info (as he does with prospective drivers) and get my numbers for me. I was alerted to a couple parking violations I had forgotten about, as well.

The issue with the insurance company was that Progressive claimed that they don't have records over 3 years old and I currently use Tennessee Farm /Bureau who only accepts and researches Tennessee MVR. My next step definitely would have been having my 10 year MVR pulled from my local DMV. Aside from that, I was unable to get to Ohio or Illinois personally due to my current budget, so my third step would have been to go via USPS.

Again, I thank you all for your advice and would love any other advice you're willing to impart me with!
