Profile For Calvin F.

I totally understand.

G-Town, I take “get to working” to mean getting paid. Once he passes the CDL exam to remove the semi restriction, then he can be hired and start getting paid $900/wk while available for dispatch during the TNT training phase.

Maybe. If I was certain that’s what Calvin meant, I would not have replied at all.

All things considered, I want to ensure his expectations are realistic and for anyone reading this who is new, it’s only in specific cases that training is expedited/reduced for a rookie with no relevant experience operating a class 7-8 tractor trailer.

I don’t want to assume.

@Dennis L that’s exactly what I’m saying… Until you said that, I just found the email for orientation, I just filled it out literally right after reading your response. I haven’t been assigned a seat class but, I’m sure it won’t be A, honestly I’m not ready for that. I want the in the seat training.

Calvin F, What seat class were you assigned on your invitation to Orientation email from your recruiter?

That seat class will establish your realistic expectations to “get to working”.

Just wishful thinking that I don’t have to go through all of the stuff again. I took a class for my Class B with Air Brakes. So just thinking I may not have to sit through all that again. Not looking to go solo right out the gate. I would like to get with a trainer and get to working though. I am sort of looking forward to the road training. I know there are some things with driving a semi that’s gonna be different than what I was initially doing, so I don’t want to bypass that part.

Calvin what is your expectation with this?

Based on the last sentence of the below paragraph, seems like you are expecting Prime to expedite your road training, reduce it so you are able to run solo sooner.

So my son is n Memphis and he’s 3, my recruiter said he can push it back to Jan 2. Also I have a class A license already with semi restriction. I have Air brakes already. I did hot shot which is how I ended up with the A with restrictions. I hope I can just test out in a semi and do the pre trip and get to working.

@Pack Rat, my son is in Memphis, Tn.

I start training 2 weeks before Christmas in Springfield with Prime. Just wondering if anyone has any idea how the Christmas schedule will go, so I can make a plan to see my son for Christmas.
