Congratulations and good luck to you! I am on the bus headed to SpringMO to start orientation/training Monday morning with Prime. As an aside, Greyhound had two departures today from Huntsville, TX to Springfield, MO. One trip was 17 hours, the other 22.5 hours. I asked the recruiter to pleeeaaase book the 17 hour ticket for me :)
Well its been a crazy 3 days. I was unable to get on the greyhound so I got a friend to drive me so 7 hour drive instead of a 22 hour bus ride. Spent sunday relaxing at the hotel and monday started classes. I will recommend SRT to anyone that can handle a fast paced school setting. Its tuesday and we were on the range today learning about the trucks. They tell us and have already shown that they will teach you till you have it they have very high standards that are there to set you up for success. Best part they are willing to let you have fun learning. If anyone has questions about SRTs training program pm me and ill answer what I can.

Please keep us posted on this. This is one of the companies I am considering. I am assuming you are doing their training school?
