Hi. You are over thinking the permit exam. Our FREE online prep course will get you to pass the written exam for the permit.
I used it.

Trip Planning: Checking weather on route
Weather Channel app has a wind speed layer. If the gusts are dangerous, there are alerts that will specifically tell u the gusts.
Also 511 in each state will often tells you. I wish all states would have a great site like WY. Lpve their site /app

17-vehicle crash leaves 5 dead in Austin - "fly by night" poor training?
There is no trucking shortage. But yes companies cut corners. But the quality of workers has diminshed since covid. No one wants to work. They want to complain and be entitled.

Hi. You are not the only one. Prime has a large population of trans/detrans.
It would be discrimination to not hire you as a man, woman, or trans. It is also illlegal to come out and ask you if you are trans... Ask for a training supervisor and explain the situation. Each department has their own job and doesn't necessarily worry about what happens in the next dept.
Here is one for you.. I know a woman named Sylvester and in the 1960s she entered the US Air Force. They put her with the men. Way way before trans became trendy.
Good luck with all you do. Trucking is the great equalizer. You can be a green monkey smoking a pickle but if you can do the job safely... that is all that matters.

Contact Prime and ask the recruiter about local Intermodal out of the Fontana area.

Thanks Erroll
I read this again...
Problem is, I think I'll probably come to heads with the "health / safety department" of this company, which is a shame. But I want to protect my license, its so dumb
So at 23 with 7 months experience at your second company... you think you have the standing and knowledge to go head to head with a safety supervisor who probably has decades of experience?
Also... if your first company was WE which is usually a last resort company for most drivers... why would you want to cause waves at your current company?

Prime does NOT give permit prep classes. Since about 2018, people have been required to come to Prime with their permits.
When I came in 2015, the written permit exam.was part of orientation, but even then, there were no classes or pointers on the written exam to get the permit.
