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

Thank you very for the information.... So if I read between the lines there a bit, the truck really doesn't matter as far as the rider is concerned. Especially being the wife...

But the wait time is very dependent on circumstances outside our control... I get that. I am just trying to have my mind set in one direction before I get to the school as to which way I want to go...

Thanks again!!

 

I've seen a driver's SO in a LW... I don't think it would be a comfortable long term situation.

Flatbedders quite often are dependant on someone else with specialized equipment to be unloaded, provided at the customers expense. That's a bit different than bumping a dock and waiting for your trailer to be unloaded. Get your paperwork done and take a nap; when we're running hard, you'll need the rest.

 

Would it be easier to call a recruiter or fill out the apllication from Prime's website?

 

i called them and they asked me to fill out the online app, then within a half hour or so a recruiter called me back, this was a few weeks ago

 

You'll need to fill out the online app no matter how you go about contacting Prime. May as well start there...

 

All PAID, 0 to go. She's mine!!<~~~~~~~ Gratz By the way IP......

 

Call them back. Ask for "Lane Williams" if you just sit around they view that as a lack of interest . If you call them it shows you as being pro active and then they will be more likely to give you more interest.

 

Sorry guess should have explained alittle more to that, having drove for 11 years but been out of it for about 13 i called to see what its gonna take to get back into it, to see what i was getting myself into so to speak, that and i just had a major surgery bout 5 weeks ago, so i gave a target date for starting of may 18th in springfield. So ive already been working with Sheryl Lindsay, not sure the pro's or cons of having her but she seems pretty decent

 

She'll be fine. You'll need complete documentation of your surgery, and your doctors release to work. As far as the routine to get back in, you'll be doing the complete training program since you've been away so long... PSD and TnT. The mileage requirements are +/-, which is good for a driver with experience... that usually means you're out for upgrade to A-seat early.

 

I was hoping for something along those lines, if nothing else after a few days trainer might be alittle less stressed knowing i aint totally green behind the ears and might be able to sleep alittle easier lol
