    Finished reading this whole thread today.
    Took a few days. TONS of great info, lots of good advice, and a lot of funny stories.

    Thanks to all who contributed, especially JB and IP.
    I put in my application with prime a week or so ago.
     
    ironpony and JimmyBones Thank this.

    I would also like to thank the Salty ones on here for giving out good info. Just got off the phone with the recruiter and set a tentative date of Sept 29 to head over to Springfield. Hope to catch up with some of you guys and maybe buy you a Root Beer!!! Stay Safe.
     
    JimmyBones and PChase Thank this.

    Oh the drama, lots of haters on here making snide remarks about something they only "know" about from 2nd, 3rd, 12th, 35256th and/or 8746452nd hand conversation.

    If you want to know what prime is really like from the crown jewel millennium building to our very excellent company parties then come on over to Prime and join the family.

    I've seen them taking the food cart in. You know the prime rugrats (meant in a good way) get every bit as fine chow as everyone else does in the cafeteria.

    I've been I'm TNT for exactly one month now. Shouldn't I be doing as much backing as possible? And using the QC? Im sure some trainers prob have there pace they like to teach at but there's has been no real pacing or structure in the training. Since day one we've been running like a team. He does things says what he's doing that's it its not real training. I can drive 11 hours but I can't alley dock or go of duty on my own? Can someone tell me how things should be working.
