They trained me in house fast and told me to take the test- took me for a test drive and said I did great. Had asthma all night and woke up sick and dizzy. Took a practice drive and they said I did horrible. I failed the test and they are sending me home. They said i need more time than they want to spend. My question is will this be on some record and prevent me from applying for other companies.

I had wanted to make a diary since they helped me so much but my laptop broke. I'm on my phone but let me tell you- I'm at SLC and everyone is welcoming. I got my purple badge. So far so good. I'm excited to be a few steps closer.

I did it. I got my CDL permit and bus ticket to the Salt Lake terminal. Talked to my sister last night and answered all her questions and concerns- told her the only reason I feel comfortable taking a gamble on this is all the diaries I've read and all the info I've obtained on this forum over the last year. Thanks T T!

Prime said nope, don't worry about hazmat right now. So that's good. See, I had thrown that on my permit application at the last minute and figured I'd just wing it. I'm a good test taker. I did read through that part of the manual a couple times, but it was a little more tedious than I'd thought. Then I found out I failed the whole permit test because I failed just that part. Another delay after the certified identity papers. Oh, well. There will be many hoops. I'll get it done on Monday.

Gosh the California DMV sure did have a tizzy about certified name change and marriage papers when I went to take my permit test even though they'd seen it all before at various times to change my license. I spent a few days visiting county clerks to re-obtain said documents. There's no getting out of it one way or another I guess.

Not quite there yet. Paperwork stuff happened. Almost. Shooting for the 6th. So- hazmat. Do I need to worry about this endorsement on the knowledge test, or can I skip this portion for now? Going today to take permit test. I have studied that part the least and if you fail one part, you fail all of it, apparently, so I'd rather just take what I need to get going for now under those circumstances.

Hi, the recruiter I spoke to mentioned we would be doing the simulator, too. Good luck to you as well!

Hi Lynn, I'm heading to Prime SLC this monday for my training. I too am worried about the backing up, and shifting up and down. From what I read here on this website, Prime wants us to succeed, and I'm sure they will work with us with anything we need help with. It is nerve-wrecking and exciting at the same time.

Good luck Lynn!

Does anyone know if Prime SLC has the simulators?

At long last I'm in for September 26th at Prime SLC! Gotta pay an extra $100 for the DOT exam to get my permit at home, but that's okay because less time on the bus. I'm terrified and excited as hell. My concerns are the usual ones- training with a stranger, backing, missing home, but I'll be all right. I've been lurking here almost every day for months on end.

Thanks for the info.

Does the ComData card work like a check card with a Visa or Mastercard logo on it, so if I needed to pay a utility bill or something online before I get regular direct deposit, I could do that?

No. Strictly for fuel, assorted expenses and Cash.

It will not work as a debit/credit card.
