Might have "lied" to Prime. Life might be ruined....
I just my pulled driving record from the California DMV. No convictions. My recruit told me my record was clean, both driving and background. Ever since that student driver told me, it's been bugging me all day. I've haven't slept in like 50 hours, I think that is my problem actually.
I'm just stressing BS I suppose. I'm more prepared than anybody else I talked to. I got my permit, and I am a very seasoned stick shifter driver. I can double clutch up and down thanks to bad synchros in my car, as well as floating the gears. Hell, I've might have even drove a rig or two when I was a teenager. Might have ;)

The court said no one would be able to see it. I'm not sure if they are right, The recruiter said my back ground check and driving record are. I checked both before I even applied. I just got a lot on my mind.
I worked on a military base before I got here. NO WAY would they let me on if I was a criminal.
It might be on my record. I definitely don't have points for it. Nothing was on the DMV report.

Best State to live for Truckers
New Mexico was absolutely stunning with the awesome landscape when I was riding the Greyhound.

In all honesty, I didn't even think of my criminal offense as a minor until somebody said something today. It's been five years and I just forgot about it, I left all that mess behind because of that ordeal.

Hey how you guys doing?
I'm at Springfield, MO waiting on orientation tomorrow.
I was talking to a student driver and he was telling me about people who lied on their application, example, One guy didn't tell them of a criminal offense and he got kicked out.
I'm paranoid because I didn't tell my recruiter about a possesion of cannabis charge when I was a teenager, nor a speeding ticket I got in my PV about six months ago. Neither is on my record, but the guy was telling Prime WILL find out and kick me out on the spot. I wrote everything down in the packet, but I never said anything to my recruiter.
I'm so scared, I'm so far away from home and they are NO JOBS for me get back home. All I want to do is give my wife and son a good life..... I hardly have enough money to get a greyhound and NO ONE to help me financially to get home. I feel sooooooo stupid. I've NEVER been afraid to fail, but my family's house, my car, my dogs, are all on the line. I left a decent job in California for this, and my employer said they WILL NOT rehire me do to being a union representative.
I never intended to deceive Prime Inc, I checked my driving record and background check, both are clean as a whistle. So I figured I shouldn't say anything as I don't want to seem like a drug addict or dangerous driver.
What do you guys think? Any recruiter or trainer got some insight? I tried to get ahold of my recruiter but she is off today.
I'm very, very disappointment in myself for being so ignorant.

My resting heart rate is comparable to a pro athlete, so I know I'm healthy.
What happens if my BP is over the limits when I take Prime's physical? Will it bar me from truck driving? I will be really up a stream without a paddle and a hole in the boat!!

The test was much easier than I thought! And not nearly as many questions.
I got my permit and I am ready to start with Prime Inc. on Dec. 1st! Woot!
I'm only worried about my blood pressure.... 138/78. A little high on the top, but not HBP. I think it might have been the nicotine I consumed literally 5 minutes before the physical, and the BP was the second thing they tested.

I got confidence thanks to the High Road Training Program. I only studied sections I needed for my required endorsements. When I get more endorsements I will definitely come back to it. Thanks Trucking Truth members and Mr. Aquila!

I got a family member who works with Prime, and he's only been there less than two years and his pay is phenomenal.

Soo tired I am forgetting words in my sentences. No edit options on these forums?
You guys get what I'm getting tripped up about. Thanks, I guess I just needed to whine and get reassurance.
Did you check out the Millennium building yet, Joshua? One of the drivers I've been talking to on FB took me there. Prime loves their employees.
