Topic 25121 | Page 2
Hey Spaceman! Congratulations!!
TNT phase?:) Same trainer?
TNT:
Trainer-N-Trainee
Prime Inc has their own CDL training program and it's divided into two phases - PSD and TNT.
The PSD (Prime Student Driver) phase is where you'll get your permit and then go on the road for 10,000 miles with a trainer. When you come back you'll get your CDL license and enter the TNT phase.
The TNT phase is the second phase of training where you'll go on the road with an experienced driver for 30,000 miles of team driving. You'll receive 14¢ per mile ($700 per week guaranteed) during this phase. Once you're finished with TNT training you will be assigned a truck to run solo.
I actually had to go to the localSS office to have my name "fixed" per admission advisor @ Roadmasters Had my SS card since I sent for it at age 12 or 13 and YES I laminated it lol still good shape after 45 years, anyway.
Had my name as Steve, had to get the 'N' added for Steven pfffft ....was the same @ local WIOA office, was questioned why the differences in my name? like duhhhhhh......Only 1 who ever called me by my full legal name, was my mom when she was mad ! ...Have the "newer" B.C., I had to get that for my passport back in 2016.... I Have plenty of ID, my DL / BC / SS card / Philippines resident "alien" card (same as the passport "ID" card) and an Arizona state "ID" card only
WIOA:
WIOA - Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (aka WIA)
Formerly known as the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the WIOA was established in 1998 to prepare youth, adults and dislocated workers for entry and reentry into the workforce. WIOA training funds are designed to serve laid-off individuals, older youth and adults who are in need of training to enter or reenter the labor market. A lot of truck drivers get funding for their CDL training through WIOA.
Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
Schneider required mine and if I'm not mistaking took a copy of it as well.
Hey Spaceman! Congratulations!!
No, unfortunately he is solely PSD phase training only. Finalizing my license as soon as I can get it and then standing by for a trainer.

Is he a company or lease driver? I'm just curious. And congratulations btw!
I think I sent Hunt a picture of my taped over 50ish year old SS card. Was willing to go get a new one (not supposed laminate or tape over it... of course if it wasn't it wouldn't still exist after so long)... they didn't need it. Cerified birth certificate was needed for my "one day in office" "orientation". Everything else was done online beforehand.
Looking forward to doing that again soon. Soon as my sugery and recovery is done anyway!
