OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Still 50,000 miles required?
Yeah, still 50k long miles….

I will never understand that high mileage requirement.
Congratulations on making it through, now the fun begins
Just like completing boot camp, there are times you want to quit, but it's so satisfying and the pride is immense when you get it done.
Great job getting it done.
Congrats!! Wishing you a safe and propitious career.
Congrats, Etch! That's an accomplishment!

TT On Facebook
Hey! So it’s been a minute since I’ve posted here. Just finished my training miles and now have my own truck! It was a very long and trying process with many challenges. I felt it best to stay offline during this because I’m not a believer in taking to social media to *****. So I just kept my head down and pushed through. There are those I was able to call and vent to get all my frustrations out. For that I am thankful. For those currently going through TnT and are struggling, let me share this. It’s gonna be long. You may not be able to see the finish line. You are going to get frustrated and even consider quitting. There will be tons of stress and a less than ideal living situation. But know this- if you quit, you will never be able to tell anyone you completed the challenge. There is a huge sense of accomplishment and pride when you step off that trainers truck and handed your upgrade packet. Don’t deny yourself that feeling.

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.
