Starting Nov 8th hopefully

Read all the Prime posts you can. Your questions are popular and answered. As for the birth certificate, an employer has to verify your right to work in this country, so you will need a certified birth certificate or a valid U.S. passport.

 

Welcome!! You dont get to choose the $600 or 12cpm. The 600 is the minimum you can make, while available for dispatch, a week. Anything over 5000 miles run that week is paid at 12cpm, which will be OVER $600 for the week.

You will stop at various locations while in PSD so you can get your break in, but when in TNT.... good luck lol We never stopped long.
TAKE YOUR CERTIFIED COPY OF YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!! THEY WILL SEND YOU HOME WITHOUT IT. DOT requires a copy of it for your license.

The trucks stereo is a Sirius equipped model, you just have to pay for the service. If you want internet, get it... I use my phone. Dont bring anymore than is absolutely needed! Space is tight with two people in the truck.

You can either have your pay put on your COMDATA card, or just put into your bank account. I believe the $200 advance they give you is put on the car. The card works kind of like a debit card.

How much you make depends on how much you run... Rund hard= make a lot of money. Camp out at truck stops/home= make no money.

U.S. military installations are sovereign territory of the United States. While you may have dual citizenship you are 100 % American born. Be that as it may, your birth certificate from the Naval Hospital should be an original copy or at a minimum a certified copy with the raised seal or embossed, like a Notary Public stamp.

If I were you, I would call the closest U.S. Consulate office and have them send the rules (law) language about your U.S. citizenship. If nothing else, get the web address for the language and print the rules for the Prime Recruiter to read.

 

Prime will pay for a bus ticket on the dirty dog. You DONT get paid a dime before you get your CDL, you get a $200 advance. You SHOULD be doing most of the driving.

 

You are not a Dual Citizen. You have a birth abroad which is just like a state issue Birth certificate. My daughter was born at the Naval Hospital In Yokosuka, Japan she is a US Citizen and we use her birth abroad maybe your recruiter is unfamiilar with the birth abroad

 

I was also born abroad in Germany, I have had so much problems with this I finaly just got a passport, and keep that current, and it is more widely excepted then my actual BC..my problem was the military DD form of birth does not have a seal, my german conformation of birth did, but,it is in german, so it became a royal pain in the #####.. I would bring both, and after showing the people the logic of my name being in english and it having the same dates, mother,father ect, they usually called there manager, who eventually excepted it.. now,with my passport, I show it, I'm done... so I am not sure about how prime will deal with this issue, but I worked for the airlines, and it was excepted for my 10yr background and employment checks for both FBI,TSA and Homeland.. so my advice, get a passport at some point..
Also, I lived in Okinawa on makiminato for 3 years, I take it you were born at camp Kewe...

 

Don't worry about the words used. Those of us with overseas experience understand. Remember that the recruiters deal with thousands of applicants and all but a very few, like you, are born in the U.S. Their mind says "state" when the legal requirement is, as Bruce said, born in the USA or have the legal right to work here. If you have a valid passport, a certified birth certificate is not needed--someone gave one to the State Department to get the passport.
