Thanks for the answers.

What just bothers me is, that on my driversliecens it, states that its an International drivers licens, not only european licens, and that we are actually taught here in the EU, that out licens, can be use everywhere in the world!? Well well, anyhow, it is what it is :) And yet again, i thank for the answers.

Kind regards

I didn't know there is something called international license. You can get international permit and use it with your state issued license while traveling. But it is only for personal vehicles and rental cars. I never heard anything about international commercial license or permit.

Best of luck and good that you are going now. From next month Prime is changing their TNT program.

I read that starting in June 2019 TNT students going through Prime Inc Paid CDL Training will be "Required to obtain a minimum 50,000 team miles with a Prime Trainer AFTER obtaining CDL."

Is this true?

@RealDiehl Few weeks ago I was in Springfield terminal and saw few fleet managers sitting in front of a computer and reading your messages lol. I saw this same photo and was thinking I have seen him somewhere. Those fleet managers were reading comments and one said "oh boy that escalated pretty quick.". ..so last few weeks it was bothering me that where did I meet you and just now I realized that it was here lol.

Congratulations

2018 Best Fleet to Drive For

It is better not to drive your own car. If you get in an accident you are done. Also there is a high chance for getting pulled over especially in long trip becuase you may drive fast on highway when you have to cover long distance and cops also love out of state vehicles. So it is better to avoid those chances and get a greyhound.

My favorite YouTube truck channel is The Flatbed Chick because she is gorgeous and she reminds me of Jennifer Anniston :)

Even though they say we get a guranteed $700 or .14 cents per mile whichever is more, I thought it is just an ad and I may make only $700 a week. I don't know how to read this check lol, I am one of those guy whose wife does all the tax returns and she is the one who talks numbers at a car dealership. Anyway this is my 3rd week into TNT and I got my 1st and 2nd checks.1st week I made $800 + before taxes and second week I got $900+. I am really happy the way I am getting paid at my training time and also happy for selecting Prime. Trucking Truth is the only reason I decided to go to Prime. I have to tell one thing, that in my 2 months here at Prime I didn't experience anything negative and I bet most of the bad comments you see on YouTube and indeed and other sites are probably by some drivers who have some issues with these companines. Same like retail industry where most customers write reviews when they are upset with something but vast majority who are happy with a product usually don't write any reviews.

Also I am not interested in team driving but at the same time I don't see any problem sharing space with an instructor for 2 months while in training. Most of the time one person is sleeping and the only time we interact is when he teaches me something or when we have our breakfast. So students who are going for that TNT, it is not that horrible at all and just try to keep your personal space and keep things clean. Also please don't show attitude to your trainer and try to help him or her whenever you can and things will be easy.
