    Congrats......only piece of advise I have is...ALWAYS be early to everything you attend. On time is LATE and Late will get ya sent packing fast...I saw it first hand. Also, shut that cell phone off. One guy's phone rang, the idiot took the call and actually walked out of the class room to talk. Very quickly, the person holding the class locked him out and told him "Goodbye".

    My recruiter called me today just to touch base and I asked him about the physical. He told me there was no need to get one before orientation, that I would still have to get one there and it was free of charge.

    Not as a PSD student - that's part of the fees they tell you to have some cash for.

    I am considering prime ....but haven't made a decision yet ....the recruiter promises a lot .....but now I am trying to figure out what's the truth and the b.s.....my current company has been good to me but I am tired of the otr.... Prime claims I can do regional and do good but I will have to think about it....I know I won't be leasing from them their lease program is garbage...forever lease ain't for me

    Yes, that's true . I have a DOT phisy from my own doctor but it was no good to the folks @ prime . I had to wait in line for a total of prob 3 hours to get the one from the prime doctor and once I was in there with him I was out in like 5 min. It actually went that fast. Ok I'm rambling again ( bad habit of mine) ok good luck in orientation
     
    neversatisfied1980 Thanks this.

    Maybe for experienced drivers, but not for students.
