Hi all! Been lurking on the forums for about a month, and yall seem helpful. So, I just got confirmation from Prime that I passed their verification, and can/will be attending orientation in Salt Lake City! I was hoping someone who has already gone through training there could shed some light on how the process works, since we will already have our permits.

How many days is orientation for permit holders?

What all should I/did you bring to orientation?

How much time during phase 1 do you get to practice, vs actually driving?

What are the pass/fail points during orientation?

Do I get hazmat endorsement on my permit, or when I do the full CDL test?

Thanks all!

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

HAZMAT:

Hazardous Materials

Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations

Hey check out my Prine Salt Lake training diary. It may not be exact, but it will give you an idea of what to expect.

Items to bring, 7-10 days worth of clothes in a duffle bag, a back pack for toiletries and misc. items, shower shoes, bedding and pillows, work boot/steel toed boot, tennis shoes, work gloves, flash light. Then anything else that you need to keep you functioning every day. (Meds, cpap , etc.)

CPAP:

Constant Positive Airway Pressure

CPAP is a breathing assist device which is worn over the mouth or nose. It provides nighttime relief for individuals who suffer from Sleep Apnea.
