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.

All in good fun. I joke around a lot! I am actually very humble, I wasnt when I got started in trucking but trucking definitely humbled me!

This must be why I don't get return calls...his Bluetooth won't fit on his head any more...
That's awesome Daniel. Hey, maybe I'll get to say hi. I should be at Prime coming the second week of September but, I definitely don't want a TT trainer. I'd never be able to show my profile pic on the board again if I failed!
So, do you have to buy special hats?
Hey folks, I'll be done with my current student in about a month and will be picking up a new student to take through the PSD and TNT phase at Prime.
I'll be dropping off my current student at the end of August and will be picking up another student early september.
So schedule your orientation day for the beginning of September if you want a chance to learn from me. But please note, just because you are from TT does not mean that you will get special treatment or automatically selected.
All candidates will be interviewed and assessed the same and the best match for what I'm looking for will be selected for the best training Prime has to offer. It's not uncommon for a student to have to wait 1-3 weeks for an instructor so keep that in mind!

Sooo.... what are you looking for in a trainee?
Not that I'm going to be there around sept but I am hopping to be there in March and if your available I'd def like to learn from someone who's good at what they do... granted I don't know you all that well yet but I know you better than any other trainer at prime.
