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

They do indeed require double clutching on the road test. I'm sure you'll be fine, it's easy to do

 

The showers in Springmo have that seat in them, that's why they "suck" but realistically it's better than dancing around in a sprinkler.

The showers in Pittston are better because they don't have a seat in them.

 

Showers in Pittston are good and the doors swing open the right way unlike Springfield they open the wrong way and leave a trail of water on the floor.

 

And here I thought I was the only one that the Springfield showers were bad and the doors were stupid, lol.

 

And, here I am........they seem like a luxury to me.

I'm used to using the hose on the fuel island!

 

Hey Drivers,

It's been several months since I have posted here. I had a start date at SpringMo of Jan 5 and life happened and I had to move to a new area and take some local work that I hate. Trying to save up some money so I can get the ball rolling on this career move again. I've been trying to find some information in the forums here that I have either forgotten or simply can't locate again. So be patient if these items have been covered in the past.

1. Training and PSD are unpaid I understand, how long do those typically take combined?
2. I live in a small town on the SW Oregon coast am I still in a hiring area (2 hours SW of Eugene)?

That's all I can think of for now.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

1) During your PSD phase you are given an advance of 200 a week that you pay back once you are hired on by prime. PSD lasts usually around a month on average.

Tnt(2nd phase of training) begins once you officially obtain your cdl and once you pass and get your cdl you become a PRIME employee, you are paid 700 before taxes this is when any of the 200 you used during your psd phase starts getting paid back at I believe it's something like 20 a week I'm not 100% sure. Tnt phase usually lasts a couple months during this phase you are driving teams with a trainer and need to obtain a total of 30k miles on average this is depending on your fleet manager and Wethersfield or not you have any incidents while still in training.

2) I'm not sure I know we have a few drivers from that region your best choice is to call and talk to a recruiter.

 

Not that Ive bern there but perhaps the Coos Bay Area?

( testing my Oregonian geography)

 

Bingo sir (close enough anyway)!

 

Ha, ha, ha.......

Just reread.

How's that double clutching going now? LOL

See.......no problem!
