    Blue is correct Call ASAP. I've got the info in email and also the packet that they sent me. Grace was my recruiter and explained everything to me step by step and was there for any questions that I had. Now I put her helpfulness and added it to the way the guys are on me, without a doubt Prime is the place to start a career with.. Seems like a family already.:biggrin_255:

    I'll call today to double check. I've already got my CDL......maybe that's the difference?

    You will still need $$ for a new med card. Do call your recruiter.

    Although the miles and the goat trails in lieu of real roads in places like Hillbillyana (IN) and Okyhomy have jarred my somewhat unreliable memory to a state of remarkable scrambledness... I do recall not having to fork over money for my initial physical coming in as a C-seat.

    Prime does physicals on everyone since it's still possible to give a veterinarian a C-note, and come away with a med certificate... its a vicarious liability issue. Gotta make sure you really are still alive.

    Re-iterating... there is absolutely zero tollerance for ANY alcohol use on or off duty by PSD students and trainees at Prime.

    Packing now just a question on how much clothes should I bring the e mail said enough for two weeks should I just pack 14 outfits or 7 to save space and just was my clothes. Might be a dumb question but whatever lol. Also should they all be nicer clothes or any as long as their not like disgusting. Do they have any dress code for class or on the road.

    7 at most less is better, extra socks and underwear. Pack light - there isn't much room in a truck. You'll need something warm - a hoodie and maybe a sweatshirt or two. Jeans and tee shirts are ok, shorts for summer, but it's getting cool now. Some work boots, a pair of sneakers - and shower clogs. Just be presentable, remember you're representing the company and your impression is what the customer will think of when he thinks of Prime.
