New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

That's how fate intervened & I wound up with the instructor I did. He actually had two others he tried calling many times like you. Guess they were too busy & had more important things do. I, on the otherhand, was actually waiting to jump for an instructor. They will never know what kind of opportunity they missed out on, as turned out to be owner op with almost 20yrs in. My bet is they later wound up crying about how long it was taking to get an instructor. Their loss, my tremendous gain.

I would give them two, possibly three calls.......then move to the next on the list. Wouldn't waste my time, as it most likely indicates a lot about the attitude of the individual. If not answering at THIS stage, of all times.............?

Hope you find a good, deserving student.

Peace, man.

 

Wrong kinda pole, jk72180.

 

The pole actually came with the light weight freightliner. I just worked around it so it would still be usable.

If you build something, the preexisting bolt holes I used were the 4 the holes in the floor where the passenger seat would bolt down to and bolt that the useless safety net uses in the back wall. (Still trying to figure out who thought we needed a safety net in the sleeper when the only time I'm asleep is when the truck is parked. I don't need to worry about being thrown from the bed while it's parked, lol).

There are done angles and curve you'll need to cut for it to fit nicely. Then head to you local Walmart Target or Fred Meyers and get some baskets that fit in the gap between your mattress and the side wall and you'll have more space then you'll know what to do with. The only thing I have under the bed right now is a rolled up duffle bag. Lots of space under there still.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Good luck out there!

Many times price is what dictates the amount of refinement you see in things like truck interiors. You're not going to get "Owner-Operator Spec" in a company truck.

 

So very true! Though as a company driver I try to make the most out of the truck until they assign me another one. In a couple years I'll have enough saved up to buy me my own truck and the interior will be anything but normal with the design ideas I have.

With so many hours spent in these things I have some time to think about how I would like the layout.

First thing would be to replace the seats with Capitan chairs that rotate so I can face the back and then I'll put a couch, sink, and a fridge that actually holds more then 5 items. Plus I'll put a 2 burner stove top in. This is with a full size condo not a light weight, lol.

Yes my list goes on and it'll be a very nice apartment while I'm on the road.

You might want to earn some $$$ and put your business on a solid footing first.

 

It'll be a few years before I do that. I'll have to save up the cash first but I know how I would like to redesign the interior of one someday.

 

Hey guys, I recently applied and had a question about previous employment background checks.

I was terminated from a job about 2 1/2 years ago. No laws broken.. My question is would a termination be a reason to be turned down by Prime?

Thank you in advance

 

Your best bet would be to give Prime a call and find out first hand from them.

Good luck to you! God bless you and your entire family!

 

It depends on WHY you were terminated.

If you were caught surfing pr0n on a company computer during your lunch break, and ended up calling the boss an A-hole, then you probably don't have much to worry about.

If, OTOH, you were busted stealing computer equipment out of the back room, then that may be a different story...

I got terminated from a previous (retail) job for not making my sales goals. Prime couldn't have cared less.
