Congratulations. Now you can begin the rest of the journey

Awesome! Now it begins.

Just officially signed the official paperwork today committing to Sprimo Prime training on January 28!!!!!!!!

Good deal. I think you will be pleased once you get past orientation.

Are you sure you didn't make that name up?

It's true, it's true!

Well... On my first load as a TNT student. Hauling cheese to In n Out Burger in California and the name of the street is Hamburger Blvd.

I had the same issue. I also had a stress test done before hand because I had read somewhere that would also be a requirement. As it turned out they requested a copy of the test results along with a Dr.s letter stating that I was under his care and that I was clear for driving.

Thanks Grumpy, Han Solo, Robert, Turtle and Michael. I got hooked up with my TNT trainer today and expecting to go out tomorrow. He is from the South too and close to the same age with a similar out look on life. So again I am pleased with the way things have been working out.

Completed PSD training. Now waiting for a trainer to begin my TNT training. So far I have been very pleased with my decision in coming to Prime. No complaints at all. Everything going very smoothly.

This is another reason why they say there is a continuing shortage due to the subject of self driving trucks. People are hesitant to enter into the industry with this over hanging topic that has been getting a lot press. They said the same thing about air travel years ago too.

Chill-Out! One thing you’ll soon realize, it’s an inherent quality in all successful truck drivers; they know how to roll with the punches; constantly adjusting and avoiding the temptation prompting an emotional response. It’s a necessary personality trait...

That said; Rainy is a Prime trainer. Turtle a Prime flatbed driver. They know the ropes. Be careful where you get your advice from.

Keep something in mind, Prime will hire student drivers in their early to mid-20’s. A 24 year old is unlikely to have more than 8 years of employment history.

Just be prepared to honestly give them what you can.

That is true. I wasn't the oldest in my class but very close. I am twice the age of my PSD trainer.

Also there are hundreds of truck friendly fitness centers across the states that will allow you to park over night. If you are a member there is always that option as well.
