Hey good people. Im in need of some advice..

Last year I got my CDL through prime. Did great, however i unfortunately had to leave early due to my son's mother being on drugs and i had to take partial custody of him. Got a local delivery job and...how can I say, miss the road and the money alot. I told myself I'd give it a year and since i haven't, i feel like a failure. So I've been applying to different companies and I've talked to CRST, Stevens, and swift. I like them all but am still confused. Can i go out with a trainer for a few weeks to refresh my skills? Or do i have to go through the whole training program?

Just thought id ask here from people with experience than to hear it from recruiting. ....

Thanks guys

P.s. id rather run teams...more money and i don't like to sit much. You seen one truck stop, ya seen em all

Look me up...carl pragg

Welcome to prime man. You'll get a pretrip worksheet. Best advice is to know it and look at it every day! !!!!

Woo-HOO!

Way ta' go, Carl!

Hahah. Thanks

FINALLY PASSED my cdl test with prime. After alot of hard work I'm looking forward to my next training phase. Thanks to all on here and truckingtruth.com

I'm up here at Prime Inc just arrive and gonna do flatbed but a lot of people are up here waiting on a instructor and Tnt one guy has been up here for 2 weeks. Does any one know any flatbed drives that do TnT? I would like to start trucking as soon as possible

You can do refer PSD but if u wanna go solo flatbed you have to do flatbed TNT.... That's your best bet to getting a trainer. Not alot of psd flatbed trainers. Most flatbed guys do TNT only. ..

Glad to hear you're off to a good start Carl! Thank God you have a good trainer.....that makes all the difference in the world!

It sure does

Wow. So I arrived at Prime Inc orientation on the 16th. I lucked out and got a trainer (awesome one at that) and I've been driving since Wednesday morning. I must say, I LOVE it. Besides dealing with alot of crap at home and once the initial feeling wears off, I'm sure I'll still enjoy it. I've learned ALOT in the 3 days driving and I'm excited that there is so much more to learn. I've wanted to do this for a few years now and my only regret is not doing it sooner!

Thanks to everyone on this forum.for the help and support you all have given.

P.s. I didn't realize how bad people in cars are jerks when driving by trucks. Definitely made me realize how much regular car drivers affect those driving a truck! !!

Ken. You still at millenium?

Nice truck man. You still here?

Yeah, parked near the millennium.

I'll be around the pad and the millenium building all day today. I'm the bald guy, tattoos goatee w the green vest
