prime orientation next week

Oh, and BBradUMA is here finally. Laaaate

 

Nice truck

So a quick update. Got my Missouri CDL permit with tanker and doubles/triples endorsements (just for the h3ll of it). Would've gotten hazmat but was unsure if my home state transfers that (which they do, d'oh!). So far, so good.

Only issue right now seems to be with finding trainers for us PSDs. My roommate's trainer finally made it here and he might leave today. He finished orientation last week though!

 

You haven't ran over any kids, hit dogs, or got truck-jacked yet have you?? LOL

 

In training, what are the procedures for getting endorsements for HazMat, tanker, and doubles/triples? I didn't know you could get those on a permit. Would like to have options when I do get to training.

 

When you go to the DMV office to get your permit, you just take the tests for those endorsements along with air brakes, etc.

If you pass (of course you will!) they'll add the endorsements to the permit.

 

What ironpony said. The Highway Patrol ladies will come down here and administer the tests themselves. You can then choose to test for those extra three. They don't cost extra either on your permit. It'll still cost $32.50

 

Here is an idea. If you don't like what I say about your jacked up company. Then put me on ignore and you won't have to sigh. Of course then you can't run to defend prime like you do. I post good things about good companies and I post the jacked up things about jacked up companies. Deal with it.

 

With respect, this thread is for discussing Prime orientation. For you to interject with negativity about our company detracts from the original intent of the discussion.

Could you please post your negative opinions in a more suitable location? I'm joining Prime and am proud of it. Others here are as well. I'd rather not see our discussion disrupted.

Thank you.

 

So far so good! Few folks headed out to the pad today to train in real trucks. Woot.
