    Started with Prime in June and never received a PSD Trainer, was told they were shorthanded. What happened to me is outrageous.

    So, you were accepted, went through orientation, then were told to hit the road or sit and wait because they were short on trainers? Did they give a time-frame on how long it'd take to get a trainer? Did they send you packing? Offer to put you in a hotel? It's all in the details.

    No , what's outrageous is you making a statement like this and leaving out a lot of critical information.

    Actually no...not in Contract...was promised and if u work for Prime then this months PRIME magazine shows Rob Low bragging about PSD training. I never got a PSD Prime Student Driver Trainer...waited over 3 weeks for a TNT trainer and finished out my training at pad.

    It goes with the territory OP. It's like calling 911 and screaming someone got shot, then hanging up. There's just not a lot to go on there. Even your follow up to my questions was a bit sporadic. Clear thought out responses are what's going to get you the best clear, and thought out responses. It might not always be what you want to hear, but that's part of it.

    After waiting 3 plus weeks and after a few close calls to getting a TNT Trainer...I got one. Twice I was told by dm that they had a TNT Trainer for me. I explained to dm I never got a PSD Trainer and had Zero driving experience and needed a trainer who knew and understood that so they could sit in seat next to me. OMG....I'm gonna stop a minute to relax as it's still a blur...
