Profile For Joey T.

Searched on their site but couldn't find it. I thought I saw somewhere that there is a 3 month waiting period to take someone like a spouse. Just curious.

From what I've seen online it looks pretty decent, but looks can be deceiving. Anybody have experience with them?

Asking for someone who can't get online at the moment. It's been one week to the day since orientation, and 5 days since the initial training before the test to get the license. His sister had a heart attack and stroke and he needs to go home and make arrangements to take care of his mother. Will he be penalized for quitting, or is there a week grace period or something? I looked all over Google and couldn't find one bit of information about the procedure.

Sorry, I meant to specify the company in the subject line. It's Prime.

My first question is mostly for clarification purposes. I'm looking for a more generalized answer here. How long is TNT training. I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times before, but I have seen literally everything from 42 days, which sounds like one extreme to 6+ months which sounds like another extreme. 42 days sounds great, but unlikely, and speaking as the spouse of the one who's training, 6 months is not anything we were prepared for, and I think if it was starting to push past 4 months, the time at the company would officially be done. 4 months in itself is pretty ridiculous unless the students are home at least one day a week. That's the only way that length of time could be excused. We understood it that I'd be once a week going into this, but then we started hearing many various other stories. So it would be great to have some clarification on this. Neither of us do very well with vague time frames and uncertainty. Any concrete information would be appreciated. Also, it's the refrigeration division if that makes any difference.

My other question is this. Can a spouse with a US passport card go with the driver if they have to go into Canada or Mexico? I'm in the process of getting my passport so that I can travel with him on those trips too. I know people can travel with the drivers in general, but I wasn't sure what the policy was for other countries. It stands to reason if I have a passport, it should be fine, but I try to never assume anything.

And just one more question. Once orientation and the initial training for taking the CDL license is over, the student comes back home to convert their permit into the license. Do they get a say in how long they stay home for, or can they ask? My husband literally just called and told me 5 minutes ago that there's some things he needs to do here and would like to be back for 2 weeks but doesn't know if that's possible, or if it'll somehow mess with the continued process of the training.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I find this forum to be incredibly informative for so many truck driving related thing. Thanks in advance guys!
