Prime, Inc. evidently does not like a veteran....

While not a combat veteran, I am a vet of the Vietnam era - never had any problems with employment, and I always disclosed that fact.

Sapper Daddy - when were you separated from the service?

 

I have trained two Iraq veterans this past year with Prime. One seemed fine while the other, showed signs consistant with PTSD,
Irritability or outbursts of anger
The same thing I see in your post, being upset with a doctor, and then a recruiter, does not impress your new employer. Sorry but you need to get that under control, before you stress out and go postal in a prime truck.

 

Did he say $100 application fee too?? I missed that right?? No one pays someone $100 to fill out their application..... under any terms for any reason....right???? Right???

 

Hey brother,,,
I have been deployed to Iraq twice,,,,here is the deal.. Schneider, Roehl and TMC are Military friendly.. You can use your GIBill there as well. I am with Schneider now but hopefully moving to TMC soon. Wish you the best brother, stay strong.
HOOAH!

From what I can recall, Werner is another "military friendly" company.

 

Werner is a bunch of idots, who would want to work there ?

 

You may be right northsarfire0693,,,but the man is a vet and needs a job,,,
I am a vet and if I owned my own company and needed a driver, I would hire him..the problem is,,, disinformation!

after i read this thread i filled out a online app with prime!(i just wanted to see this for myself)! so 4 years all OTR exp no tickets 1 preventable no felonys, no dwi-dui nothing.
Got a phone call from prime recruiter today long story short i was born with scoliosis! (curvature of the spine) when i was 18 i had a operation i now got two titanuim rods in my back with hooks ! been released from my doctor 16 years ago with no restrictions. pass all my medical examine's also passed a BMI test.

Well when he heard that he said hold on please. i said ok. not sure what he was doing but heard sounds of the keyboard. so was thinking he was looking this up (scoliosis). after being on hold for O about 5 mins give or take he said no i don't meet there requirments!!!! hu really i said.
He said due to me having a bad back! I said thanks.

 

Go Figure! I have a comrade in my unit that has metal rods in his back,,,guess what, He is STILL in the Military! If he can serve his country with steel rods than you should be able to drive a truck. My parents drover for Prime a long time ago and they told me about their experience with them..I really am seeing that they are a bunch of snobs.....
