Well today was pee test loan contract and making sure all paper work was in order......no paper copies must be actual hard card learners......and 1person ruined there dac........jumped ship after they were told can't leave until pee test was done.....called a cab and left.......now has a refusal due to this........homework time! More to come.

Thanks! I will post when I get a chance. But my main focus will be on school. Good luck with Roehl. Keep the dirty side down and be safe!

So in 14hrs I will be getting up to drive to Richmond for the start of training with Swift transportation.......I will try to keep a daily record of my experience with Swift and will post when I get a chance............I will never be able to thank TT, The High Road Training program, and all that helped me realize this dream. THANK YOU ALL!!

Glad you are doing well Sir.

Ok, time for an update.

I left out from home on the 6th of Feb and went to the main Prime terminal in Springfield MO. I arrived after a 2 day road trip on Sunday the 7th.

Just like most everyone that goes to the Prime orientation, I stayed at the Campus Inn (Prime's resident hotel in Springfield MO). Since I was a returning driver (I left 2 years ago) and going back into their Lease program, my orientation was slightly different than someone just starting out.

My first load out of Springfield took me South to Little Rock AR. During orientation Prime made a point to tell everyone that they usually will not send solo drivers out to CA, but my next load was out of Batesville AR to Fresno CA. Then I was dispatched on a load out of Bakerfield CA (a produce load) that took all day to get the load legal (I was loaded 3 diffent times that day just to get the weights right on all axles) going to St Louis MO.

Out of St Louis I took a load to Lubbock TX. After that load I was asked to repower a load (that is Primes way of relaying loads) going from Amarillo TX that I meet up with the driver at the TA going to Las Vegas NV. From there I went to Salt Lake City.

My next load was from Hyrum NV (a little NE of Ogden) to Harrisburg PA. From there I went to just south of Lexington KY. Then I went to Middleboro KY to a Smithfield foods facility (I felt like I was having to do my driving test all over again going through town) and brought it to Newport News VA.

I just got home yesterday after being gone for 5 weeks. Having a great time being out on the road again after being stuck mostly on the East coast for the last 2 years.

don't worry man keep your nose to the grind stone and stay focused y'all will be solo team in no time. Hope to see y'all out there someday. Keep the dirty side down and be safe!

I passed about two weeks ago but had issues proving my residency. There are new laws in New Mexico that have made it harder to get ID because they were giving them to illegal immigrants. Anyways I got my permit today but it can take quite a while to get it. I am aware of classes starting every Monday. I am hoping I can go on the 21st but I may not have the physical permit by then. Hopefully it won't take to long.

Good luck man hope you get it soon, hey things might be different where you are so confirm with your recruiter as soon as you can..........again good luck might see you out there someday

hi

Hi. I'm actually going to Swift transportation in Richmond Virginia Monday....you have to have the physical one paper is not excepted

Oh man... That sucks. Now I have to wait some more.. Thanks!

How long ago did you pass? I got my actual hard card 4 or 5 days after passing. Also not sure where you are going but they start new classes every week.........

Tried to ask my recruiter but she wasn't in the office so I wondering if any of you guys would know. I got my permit today finally, after getting proof of residency squared away. I live in a rural area so they mail the physical id to us. I was wondering if the temporary paper CDL permit would be good enough to use at the academy or will I need the physical one? Thanks guys I appreciate it!

This may be a dumb question but your whole class failed a hair follicle test? Holy moly! How far did they go back? I have been told hair is 90 days but can go back as far as a year. I don't mean to be an a$$, just shocked all failed.

Lol. No, they didn't all fail. They're all on their way out to drive. That would be amazing if the whole class failed.

ok I understand now
