Looks Like I Will Finally Be Accepted For Prime Psd
Topic 12685 | Page 1
Hello TT, I posted here a few months back, pretty bummed because I was denied acceptance to Springfield due to my unverifiable work history. well, instead of giving up, I got a on the books job and now have my W2 and a pay stub. I called my recruiter at prime and was told as long as I fax over my college transcripts that everything is a go! :) I'm pretty psyched. My girlfriend who I live with is also thinking about obtaining her cdl so we can go team! any advice from any seasoned truckers is much appreciated!

Good luck.

Congratulations! It sure sounds
Lmao.. what I was trying to say is it sounds like you are definitely on your way. Persistence has paid off.
Hey everyone, thanks!
I have an update. I received my transcript in the mail this afternoon and forwarded it to Sheryl, my prime recruiter. she told me everything looks in order as far as my previous employment/ schooling verification go. I was also told that my application was forwarded to the "verification department" and we should know tomorrow if I am "in" for sure. I'm looking at leaving for prime around Feb 26th so I can brush up on the High Road a bit (don't want to travel 18 hours from Jersey to Springfield only to fail lol). The TT forum has given me so much knowledge that I don't think I could have gotten elsewhere. Thanks again!
I'll keep ya's posted on my journey through the process for anyone who is interested :)
Peace -Joe
Thanks Sue :) I'm very motivated to learn about the world behind the wheel. Always admired the semi trucks since I was a tot driving in the car, I'd always make the motion for the driver to pull the horn haha.
