    Yea, I saw that, though it's not really a contribution to this thread.

    JB,

    I have been sitting here this evening going over your entire forum section on Prime. I was strongly considering going with Central to obtain my CDL, while considering Prime, and I am now leaning more towards Prime.

    I wanted to comment that after several hours of reading, the quoted post (above) in particular got a good chuckle outta me...lol.

    Thank you so much for continuing to share your experiences at Prime...much gratitude.

    Doc

    P.S. It's 2:40 am and I just finished the thread. I was curious, if you care to share, how'd your "dad" fare? Thx again!

    What's that got to do with anything including the price of tea in China? I think you ought to go drive for Swift U... err Chuckie.

    Usual useless comment.

    You're the one keeping score between Prime and Swift. Just another statistic for your scoreboard .

    Hello I.P., Joe here, i at this point can"t help myself, an J.B. might not agree with this as i had sent him a P.M. about a certain KNUCKLE HEAD who shall remain nameless (I"m trying,i"m trying rely hard here to stay within the rules) and J.B. said more or less to just let it go, o.k. i did, even gave thanks to this certain individual, but as a certain "cartoon character"-implied reference, once said...That"s all i can standz an i cant stanz no more... To use this forum at the expense of someone else"s tragic loss is dispassionate, and not very responsible. I agree with what you say above I.P.. I try to be positive and helpful with others i have interacted with on this site, i guess it" the apple thing, thanx got it out my system. On a separate note spoke to a guy (schizo- something) and he mentioned Prime so i told him to check out your thread, was looking for advice.....Happy New Year Guys. Joe.

    That question was in the back of my mind to, as you know i had done the same thing J.D. did reading the whole thing, he beat me to it, wish him good luck for me. And the other thing was, but also answered i see you are teaching now, how do you like it?, Add to the stress level?:biggrin_2555:

    JimmyBones,

    I was wondering how long you generally train the trainee before he goes to test for his CDL? Also, I was wondering what some of the things that you focus on, to help them. Basically, what does the first week look like, when training with you? I'm sure every trainer is different, but am just wondering what you do with the trainee. Thanks!

    Well congrats to you father in law! My l'il bro grads out of his CDL school in TX next week and is thinking about signing on with TMC so he can do TX regional and get some home time with his wife and kids. They run a flatbed fleet, and are military/vet friendly. Happy new year to you and yours. Stay safe out there.
