Just for anyone that is at the Prime terminal in Springfield MO. I am presently at the terminal, should hopefully get my truck back from the shop today. Not sure as to when I will actually be leaving out.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

After training, you’ll return to Prime’s corporate headquarters in Springfield, Missouri, for final CDL state testing and your CDL license.
