Profile For Josh S.

When I had my lightweight I always ate on the truck. The passenger seat was removed so I had a dorm fridge and plastic dresser and microwave. Taking a full-size is several thousand dollars per year less on pay. If your girlfriend is coming out permanently then it would make sense to go ahead with the full-size though.

Congrats man, I just accomplished the same thing as well.

I agree 100% with Daniel, you need to reach out. Backing can be taught on the pad, but pre trip needs to be gone over with to prepare you better. As Daniel said, a lot of people train strictly for monetary gain instead of to pass on their knowledge.

I hug closer, more in the range of 3 to 4 feet. Then I go 2 and a half spots, typically about 2 doors with average gap or 1 and a half with a huge gap between doors. Then I cut to the right then back to the left. Then turn wheel hard right and start backing in.

In the past my fleet manager had me run a few extra weeks up front, so like 5 weeks to take 5 days for instance.

My 2015 prostar had the wood trim in it. The newer ones are hit and miss on rather prime has it or not, but they did in mine at least.

I lived in opelousas for a while. I really enjoyed it down there except for that humidity lol.

Is anyone from the forums in prime orientation this week?

I know prime offers a seven day forgiveness window. Don't know if Jim Palmer offers that as well, but from the time you get on your trainers truck you have seven days to decide that this isn't for you and you're free to leave.

They have trainers in the tanker division, not sure how many. Also not sure how much drop and hook freight they have. If you are on Facebook join the prime drivers past, present, future page. I know there is tanker guys on that page.
