Prime Recruiters Question

Tell them to put it in writing and send it to you.

 

please. recruiter's promises are worth as much as the paper it's written on.

Have them just sit down and explain it to you in base terms. Not extrapolation of the mind, just have them read the position description to you.

 

that don't make any sense,pulling a reifer is nothing like pulling a tanker,tell'em to put you on with a trainer for 5or6 weeks in a tanker,at the end of six weeks you will know how it's going to feel,you have to get use to that fuel moving around on you,especially when you are breaking or shiftingseeya.

 

My guess is that their Tanker division is still starting out so they have very few trainers in that department. I was also looking into their tanker division. Most tanker companies don't hire out of school so if you want to go a tanker co. this would be the way to go. All their tanks are food grade btw.
And no I am not a recruiter it's just that Prime is local to me and I know a little about them. It's hard to drive around Springfield without seeing at least a few Prime bobtails running around.

 

So the way I see that is that they probably want you to pull a box for awhile just to prove you did learn to drive in the trucking school you attended. No one wants a rookie out there trying to control tank surge, especially in the winter. Having their comments in writing won't do much unless it's from someone hire up than a recruiter. Recruiters are basically the bottom feeders of the transport industry.
