A Few Questions About Prime's Training Program

Hey all!

I was just invited to go to orientation with Prime in Pittston, Pa On January 6th, and I'm very excited. I'm fairly well versed on the whole process of training with Prime, however I had a few questions about specifics. I plan to be a company driver only (may consider the possibility of leasing when I have experience but we'll see) but I've heard that they will stick me into a 'lightweight' Cascadia, is this true? I haven't been able to find much information on it besides a few reddit posts from 2+ years ago.

Another question being, the recruiter I'm talking to says that I will need a new medical card due to the 'expiration date' of the form itself (being 12/31/24) on the upper right corner of the document. I find this hard to believe seeing as the newest version of this document I can find is dated for expiry in March of 2025. My actual 'Medical Examiner's Certification Expiration Date' is 11/22/2026 Any guidance on this is greatly appreciated as I can't find much online to support his claim, and when I brought it up to the office that did my physical, they said it was when the medical office has to order new forms.

Finally, obviously very subjective; but what are my chances of getting a good trainer for the on-road training? I am prepared for the worst but would like to know my odds, and will I keep the same trainer between the PSD and TNT phases of the program?

Thank you to everyone who has been active in this community, you are have been a huge help and inspiration to pursue the career I have always wanted to get into, a particularly large thank you especially for Kearsey :)
