MASS(achusetts) PRIME Hysteria

Well, Here we go, bus ticket in hand, shipping out to SPIMO on Sunday!After doing extensive research on commercial trucking co's, (Swift,CRE, etc.) I found that PRIME,INC. not only had a solid hiring record, but the training was above board and although EVERY company had negative feedback, the Positives FAR outweighed the negatives for PRIME.
However, and most saw a BUT coming... I earned my CDL Permit & endorsements (HAZMAT,DOUBLES & TRIPLES, AIR) in Massachusetts, Now my recruiter, who has done (I believe) what she can do to keep me informed of what I will need to bring to orientation, and what will be expected of me during the next few weeks with a trainer.
One issue is that whenI am ready to take my CDL test, I WILL NEED A TRAINER FROM MASSACHUSETTS, WITH A VALID CDL LICENSE, for you potential up and comers coming to PRIME or I assume anywhere else, be aware that MASSACHUSETTS is a state that "if you get your CDL PERMIT in Missouri, your CDL License will be issued in Missouri"
You WILL NOT be able to 'transfer' your CDL over to MAssachusetts for TWO YEARS.
This simply means that you want your CDL in MAssachusetts, you might have to wait for a Massachusetts CDL trainer at least with PRIME.
OR
You will have to gain a residential status in Missouri (Regular License included, to prove residency) for two years.

So, my fellow students, good luck, hope to see you there and be part of the graduating class I am in.

God Bless the COMMONWEALTH of MASSACHUSETTS!!!
