Prime: Orientation and Training?

hey Jim give us a play by play as you go through the training process. thanks

 

yea that was me ,sorry took so long to get back,my internet was fed up, hope i got it fixed, but yea the sim test was so much fun it was a game! i mean they say its not but u all who have done it know that it is! and i did fine of course i was over worryed snit ninja pleas second time i took the test and only missed 9 points would like to go drive the thing now but cant leavin for TN in the mornin!! F yea i got a job.

 

It only took them 2 days to get back to me. My recruiter worked with me really well. If you haven't talked to anyone in a couple of days, I'd start calling many times a day everyday until you get somewhere. Once you get hooked up with a recruiter, get their direct number so you can get right into them. Good luck!

Just an FYI for anyone coming here as an A seat...when I was in leasing the other day (they handle lease and company trucks) they were talking about being like 45 trucks short for what they need for this week and next...so you may be sitting for a truck.

 

Happens this time of year... the manufacturers shut down their assembly lines over the holidays - leads to shortages at the leasing office. They'll catch up in a few weeks.

 

i suposed to be in MO feb 2 and i just wanna know what the company thinks about tattoos i have alot of them even 2 stars n my face. can anyone let me know thanks

 

not sure thoe i did see a couple guys withem on there hands/neck/other visable locations and they were ok.call recuter they can tell u for sure.u dont want to get sent home thats out of your pocket!

 

Made it through orientation...wasn't as bad as i was thinking. leaving out tonight or in the morn with a insructor. yay me..lol

 

does Prime check the criminal background before accepting anybody for orientation? or do they do the criminal check during orientation? the reason I'm asking is because I have a friend of mine that is coming back on the road, he think he might have a warrant for a misdomeanor (bad check). I told him I wasn't sure. Prime said the application was accepted and he is going to orientation. You would think they check all that out before sending you to orientation. anybody have any idea??

 

Wouldn't think so, after all we're truckers! Call a recruiter and ask.

Congrats! Have fun!

Yeah they do, and it won't do someone any good to conceal that - our investigators were ex-FBI the last time I heard any scuttlebutt about it. Now they do act on convictions, not accusations. That being said, if he doesn't take care of a court summons it will become a bench warrant, and he could be pulled out of a truck at any weigh station. You can't hide from your life on the road.

 

thanks ironpony, i'll let him know. you said "yeah they do", does that mean they checked it before orientation or during orientation? from what i understand, he was not convicted.
