You have 4 speeding tickets in 4 years - that's not a good advertisement, especially in terms of your future with CSA2010. Keep trying, you'll probably find someone who needs you. Meantime, DON'T SPEED!

 

the company im with said that csa started looking in 2009 they just did a report on all the drivers and i was ok..... but i want to work for prime

 

We were in Pittston a few weeks ago. Developed truck troubles while under a load and gimped it in so we could repower it. Once we dropped the trailer, we bobtailed over to the Freightliner dealer in Scranton. On our way out, they checked the truck # to see if we were lease or not.

 

Hey is that truck simulator hard?

 

Questions for IP, U2, Saz....either/and/or

I got my CDL through a state sponsored program 15+ years ago and went OTR for about 14 months...left OTR and went local for anther year.
I have no accidents...no tickets...never a DUI...squeaky clean MVR, as it were.
I have not driven (commercial) since '98....
Anyway...you guys think there's a chance that I could get accepted at Prime?...If so, what might the process be as to training after orientation?...how long etc.

Thanks for all the great info that you guys take the time to post...

 

Just a WAG... I'd think you would have to go through the entire process again. Things have changed so much it would make sense. Given that you have that level of experience in your past, it would probably be a breeze for you.

As with anything else, only a call to recruiting will answer the question...

Good luck man!

 

Could you elaborate on "entire process"?

 

you will probably have to go thru school again. most companies wont hire anyone without recent exp.

 

ok gentlemen i have a question been driving 4 years did a year otr for ffe then came off to run intrastate in fla will be movin to ga and looking to go back otr will i have to do the entire process
