Thanks will consider it I do take the turns in 2nd and my trainers telling me not to but it's just distance and perception I feel if I couldn't get it up to third I'd just take it in second because theirs only so much space

One thing I've had trouble with is getting the seat adjusted for the best clutch control, seriously. If I get it right everything goes great but sometimes it's a rocky ride until that happens and it affects my ability to find the gears as well. I'm getting better at it but I switch between two different but similar Freightliners and of course share the them with several other different sized people. Just some food for thought.

So far my trainers been saying I got everything down as far as driving shifting go but I'm having troubles with stopping and starting sometimes I stall out and other times when I'm taking a turn I tend to take it slow and my trainers saying that I can't take it at that speed I usually take it in 2nd but he says I need to be at least 3rd or 4th and I'm 14 days in I'm just not trying to stall out or have the cabin jump by letting off my clutc to fast any advice in this area?

I got my physical done in California and when I got here they took us on the very first day to their dot physician and he then goes over everything you get done in ca but prime has a standard of body mass they enforce 39%

I'm just starting myself, with my physical scheduled for a week from today. I was planning on talking to a prime recruiter, and potentially a few others, but I have to ask; does it really need to be a Utah permit? I was going to get mine here in California. If that's the case, I may need to rethink prime and go with something more local.

How did the sleep apnea hung work out for you also . By any chance do you know if they want the 600$ in full up front or in payments deducted in payroll

This is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, and a ton of BS. Just another way for Prime to shake down drivers for more money. Imagine how many drivers per day they run through their so called "Orientation mill." That is a lot of $$$$$$$.

Let the drivers sleep when they need,and not keep them up all day and expect them to drive all night. Its that simple!

If you havent been to Prime then you have no basis for your comment. I am currently ay Prime and have been slated for the sleep apnea test due to my weight. I have mo problem with this as i am confident that i will pass but if i dont and i need a cpap then i will get it. The number of students that i have seen falling asleep in class and in front of the computers doi.h cbt's is frightening. Know what they ALL have in common?? They're ALL overweight.

I'm on my first day at orientation here at prime in Salt Lake City. We filled another app type of forms out . Also went to retake the dot physical through heir doctor. I already had my dot card in California but coming here and leaving this dot physical the doctor told me he wanted me to do a sleep study. I am overweight but am in process to correct it by diets and working out. Not sure what to expect. Tommrow is said to be talking over our application we filled online and the one we have handed in today.

The money for the test was it needed upfront of later on ?

Good to know brother yeah I wake up really early and get ready I did bring some decent clothing here so I should be good physocal thanks for your advice I'm at Concetra taking another physical

Ahhhh I should see you by the end of the week. I'll be back at the terminal getting ready to go back out.

You will learn all you need. Just remember this is a 3 week job interview, and don't be late for anything. I went into everyday, even now in TNT training, they will not be waiting on me to start the day. If the trainers see you putting in the effort they will help you all they can.

Tommrow will be my first orientation day Okay I will kee that in mind

If you had Rob as a trainer listen to everything he told you. Just be calm and focus on minimizing the points you will get. If you get caught in a bad situation take the out that has the least amount of points.

Any pointers on the test as far as the drive that you feel could make it more easy and to be aware of for me thanks and also it's late to say but congratulations

And.... you guessed it Trifecta. I'm at the DMV no switching my permit over. I got all Pre-trip questions correct. I did perfect on the backing maneuvers. In the city drive I received 10 points. I missed the bridge height sign, I kept my blinker on too long had a few issues not looking far enough down the road on my turns and I stalked coming out of the emergency stop. Thankfully I was not in the middle if traffic.

Overall it has been a great experience. I will call tomorrow and see who they have for TNT, but I'm glad to finally be a primate.

I was wondering if some of you would share some ideas and advice that you've learned to help you get through each day situations over the road and lifestyle in the industry that have helped you . I leave for academy training on Sunday and just like some first person insight on things
