Flatbed Variety
Topic 4373 | Page 120
Elevator parts were always some of the worst loads to deal with. Always uneven so securement and tarpring is a pain. Then you end up going to a job site somewhere and those are always fun.

Yeah it's not a blast to get tarped but the job site was pretty easy. The last Kone elevator I delivered was in TNT to Queens and I'll be happy staying out of there as much as I can.

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 14ยข 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.
My last Kone load went to a job site downtown atlanta. No directions, different addresses and the guy said we get trucks in here all the time. Great time
Atlanta is an hour drive from Atlanta.

That is too cool, I always wondered if it was a crane or some raised dock system that got those trailers on like that.
Here's a pair of elevators going to the University of Utah area for new construction installation.
