Headed To Prime At The End Of The Month!
Topic 5669 | Page 2
Feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns. I can walk you through the entire program. Good luck!
Not to hi-jack this thread but I sure would appreciate any recommendation on a Springfield trainer from you or OldSchool...if even they would agree.
OS wouldn't know he doesn't drive for Prime. Just be proactive really. There's a million students and only a 100 instructors, make yourself stand out from the crowd. Engage in conversations, be polite and when it's Pretrip inspection time you better be having your head under that hood. They're looking for students who want to learn and not stand all day and chat.
Thanks for the heads up! I have a mechanical interest / tendency anyway so head under the hood shouldnt be a problem LoL! Im hoping to be as outgoing and intuitive as i can (im normally pretty reserved), If I have to be an ass kiss, So be it LoL! ^_^b
Congrats Sir, I along with the rest of TT wish you luck in your adventure with Prime. Use Daniel for anything prime related, as he said, he can can answer just about anything, good resource.

Thanks everyone for the welcome! Ive been trying to absorb all the info from the High Road training program, Im finding it a lot easier to follow that the straight up state CDL book, so its kept me busy. :D
@Old School: Yea sadly my lil friend wont be going with (at least at first anyway) She's going to stay with some friends who raise / breed pythons til I can make my own accommodations
@Gary E.: Indeed, i'll be starting on the 27th unless something comes up to cause me to have to delay a lil bit.
@Daniel B: Thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to keep that in mind if I have questions!
@Midnight Cowboy: Grats on the TNT phase! Be glad to say hi if we bump into each other! :)

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
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 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.
