    Just a quick question to about Prime training. My husband is in the training now and has been out for 5 weeks with a trainer. The trainer has been trying to get him back so he can complete his CDL test but dispatch keeps sending them in another direction. He was within 3 hours of get to MO yesterday but now their sending them somwhere else with an empty load just to check on a load not to pick it up:biggrin_25513:. They still won't tell them when they can return. Is PRIME trying to prevent him form finishing his training?

    That has got to be his instructor enjoying the extra 300.00 a week. Don't want to give it up, OR, he thinks your husband is not ready to pass, 50/50 shot

    Well he is going to be a slave, aka company driver. So he/you is gotta get use to it eventually.

    No problem getting use to it. We expect the time away but he needs to get back so he can move on and start getting PAID.

    Please... that's utter nonsense. Keep your comments restricted to something useful, and not Bravo Sierra.

    I agree with Easy Steamer.

    Instructor needs to put his foot down on the fleet manager. I wouldn't put up with trying, I tell them when to get me back and thats what I expect, period......

    That 300 a week only lasts for so many weeks... Then its costing the instructor money to have him on the truck.
