    I have to ask why you didn’t pass Prime’s road test.

    Lack of training.

    So, they told you to go?

    Why not just more training?

    I failed the road test all 3 time but it was like i still only had 5 or so hours on the road with the manual with a trailer i did get to drive around the pad a bunch. I needed more training on the road I maybe drove 700 interstate miles the hole time in the automatic

    That all 700 miles? Should have had more miles then that. Plus you should train in what your going to drive.
    Sorry but your training wasn’t good.
     
    Steve506 Thanks this.

    Go on and get trained with Stevens Transport; it's only a 12 mos. commitment, then you can move on. Stevens does have a reputation for excellent training.
    You can also apply for "Driver Trainee" at Sygma Network and McLane Food Service. You'll get the cdl through on-the-job training while running teams. Not all terminals/warehouses have this position available, so apply and find out if there's an opening near Orlando.
