Sometimes they take a while to come back. It happens. Try not to lose sleep over it.

Hopefully it wasn't anything wrong and just took longer to process. Good luck!

Thank you everyone. It took me a hour or so to come down, because I want lie it is pretty frustrating after all the stress. You think ok I did everything, the recruiter told me hr side cleared and good to go, and then your name isn’t called. Lol this gives your Anxiety a little boost. But God has its reasons, so I believe relax and see what comes. I’m studying the Pre- Trip I downloaded from her. A little update from things that changed at Prime, or wasn’t mentioned by others as far as I know. You get a sign off paper, where you have to document every pre Trip and backing the Trickter during your Training. The trainer and you have to initial every one of those. And like it’s the rule you atleast need one pre Trip every day(plus the after Trip, but that’s not really the main learning thing). Also the Trainer assignment is handled a little different now, you both have to fill out a survey kind of thing. Where you get matched up with each other, this is done that hopefully characters come together that thing alike. Everyone knows the story’s about the fun dating apps this dates, where you find the perfect partner by answering random questions. So that’s what this is basically about. It was stressed over and over again that if you have a Problem with the trainer, start with your fleatmanager(calling him letting him know) and if that doesn’t help take the next step. No it’s not a perfect world and not a perfect system in my opinion, but I also really have the feeling Prime does the best they can to give you a good learning experience.

Sorry for writing mistakes. Cellphone Screen + fat fingers + autocorrect= errors.

Have a good day, God bless.

You were on point. Just waiting for the drug test. But like I told them, this is the only point I disagree with the training so far. The people that are waiting for just the test to come back, are waiting for something out of there hands. They and me included did everything that was asked from us, so at least we should been allowed to go to the safety meeting and tour. Small point and not really important but it would been nice too be there after a week of anxiety and stress.

So got my student driver badge today. And went to the millennium building, this is really impressive. Another good news came on the end of the day, when I was about to leave at the end of training. I talked with a lady that coordinates trainer/student, just to make sure that it’s on file that I have no preference if the trainer is a smoker or non smoker. So wail she was making sure this is in the system, her co worker said, is this Mr. ....... So she told him this was me, and he said I just got him assigned to a trainer. She checked the pc and yes I have a trainer, now I just need to wait for him to call me. I will ask in class tomorrow what exactly I should be doing till he calls or what’s my next steps till then. Happy and exhausted Bear hear. Oh side note, going trough pre Trip training on a actual Truck today and it just clicked, it’s not that complicated if you stand infront the truck. A little learning the components and I be good, so that worrie is gone.

So sorry for the late update. Yesterday we went to the training pad again and did pre Trip, because I’m a early bird I was up like every day at 5am. So roll call wasn’t till 8:00. I thought ok so what now, because breakfast on weekends isn’t till 8:00. Ok long story short I took Daniels pre trip out that I printed at home and compared it to the Pre Trip we got her from Prime. Just marking of things on the Prime paper so I know nothing is to different or changed to Daniels Version(by the way thank you Daniel, it’s awesome one side note one 2 pictures are with the wrong text). But wail doing this I realized that I already could remember where I seen the part in the actual Truck, and I could remember my abc, pms and cbb. So I looked at the picture, thought about where it is located in the truck and then named the part and did the abc, pms and cbb. I checked then if I was right on the Prime paper and Daniels and yes most of the time it worked. What I didn’t realize at this time was that it got burned in to my memory even more and made me more confident. So when we was on the pad with the other students, it was self study. Wail others where sometimes struggling or looking at the paper for the right words, I stood behind them and went trough it in my mind. So actually naming the part abc, cbb and pms. Over time then when one wasn’t sure I pointed it out and helped him along the way, or helped him corect mistakes. This helped me remember it even more, be more confident and outspoken(I’m a quiet shy person). As soon people realized that I could help along I was taken alone as study buddie and then thanks to Daniel I could answer the big question, are you sure and why do you know this? I pulled Daniels papers out, and showed them the picture of the part they was questioning me about and explained that I’m sure it’s the part we looking for and the right wording for it. So thank you, thank you so much Daniel, for me as a shy person this was a big experience. After that we went to lunch and simulator class. My trainer finally called during class to let me know he’s almost her and that he will call as soon as he gets her, so I can meet him. I also went shopping yesterday because on the dog ride her my jacket zipper broke, so I needed a new one. Now I’m the pride owner of a yellow Prime 3in1 Safety Jacket. I never owned a warmer, or better fitting jacket. I guess you see, small things make me happy.
