Does Roehl require you to get your permit before coming to training?

I was initially going to attend TDI in Forsyth GA, but that fell through due to not being able to get a co-signer for the tuition cost. Which I was not advised of by the TDI Recruiter. So after some research here on Company-Sponsored Training and company websites and several conversations with various recruiters, pending verification of employment history etc. I will be starting Company Sponsored Training with Prime as of March 23rd. Any and all information and advice is greatly appreciated. If anyone has any insight on what to expect from Prime please feel free to throw it my way.

So things have changed since my original post ... background check came back perfect and I am starting training tomorrow morning March 9th .... I will post regular updates about the training and how I am doing.

I have been going back and forth for a couple of years now about getting into the trucking industry. So on Wednesday March 5th I finally took the first step to my new career as a trucker. I put in my two weeks notice from a job that I was honestly just tired of. Dealing with the strict dress code and just the overall requirements of working for a Fortune 500 company in an office environment. My wife knew that a career in trucking was what I really wanted to do, every time I would see one of those big rigs rolling down the road I would get excited. So we spoke about it and I finally took that first step and she was right there with me as I went and spoke to a recruiter at TDI in Forsyth, GA which is only about a 20-25 minute drive from where I live. After speaking with the recruiter and my wife and I went and had lunch and discussed everything. After about an hour or so we went back to TDI and got everything going. First step was getting the background check done, well I found out that everything is clear there ( which I didn't have any doubts it would be). I plan to start at TDI on March 16th for their 3 week training course and hopefully I will have a few companies to choose from to drive for by the time I am done. I am hoping for Schneider as of now but I am still researching other companies as well. I will definitely make use of any and all of the great resources offered by TT. I am super excited and anxious at the same time, any pointers and advice would be appreciated.

Safe Trucking!!!
