    Lets do a roll call on who all on here is going to the june 2nd training. I know its only a couple guys but we need to meet up while we are there. One more thing from the experienced guys on here.

    What should we bring that our recruiters didn't mention? Mine only told me the following.

    enough clothes for a week
    Flip Flops
    bedding for a twin size bed
    Jacket (she said some docks are really cold?)

    You may want to bring some cash for after you get with your trainer. While at Prime, they give you a meal card that gives you $4.75 for breakfast and $ 5.75 for lunch and dinner(at the millennium building). If you go over those amounts, you pay out of pocket.

    Oh I forgot. You do want to bring your own LEATHER gloves(walmart for $8.00).They are more at the company store.

    trucks do not have wi-fi and alot of truck stops charge for it. see if your phone can act as a modem and use it to hit the net. Make sure you have at least $150 as Paul or Matt will relieve you of 100.00 during the interview and the permit is around $30. Bring cash for food and drinks above and beyond what Prime provides although you get a lot for your money as far as meals go. Enjoy the Millenium building... it is impressive. If you want to start studying now it can't hurt. You will be given printouts of the parts you need to study Tues and will have a review of important questions Wed am before you test. Good Luck and have fun......:biggrin_25525:
