Oh...and one more. Go to the DMV and get your permit with (preferably) all of the endorsements after you get through The High Road Program but before you leave for training with Prime. Students that show up with their permit get to begin doing other things while those who don't will go through classroom and study time for their exam. So that will put you ahead of the game.
Brett, you can no longer transfer an out of state permit to MO. Anyone that comes to Prime will need to sit for their permit once more, unless they are from MO.

A mixture of emotions as orientation date approaches....
Yeah, I'd say I'm more barfy than anything. Butterflies are too cute to produce this sensation 😛

I'm leaving soon too ladies. I go from excited to incredibly nervous. This is a huge transition for us 😊 Good luck to you both.

Thanks for the input :) I'm just glad I read about the drinking during the initial orientation thing on here. I think that I'm planning on getting a full-size truck. I want the space in the center to change, to fold clothes, etc. A girlfriend of mine referred to that that 24"x24" space as her living room. Heh. I know it'll be a paycut, but I think I'd appreciate the space more than the money. I want to crawl around in a lightweight before I make the decision. I've heard about the storage in a Prostar a couple of times, super curious about seeing it (I've only seen it on a video).

I mentioned "bank" because I know a lady that is a bank officer that is about 90% inked from here neck down to her wrists and ankles. She must wear high necked, long sleeve blouses and pants or long skirts to work. I couldn't live with restrictions like that.
The trucking "dress code" being what it is in most companies, you could dress for a tattoo show & be OK.
I'm an RN myself, having to take out my piercings and wearing long sleeves at most facilities. Waking up, putting on comfy clothes, and ignoring my hair is going to be freaking awesome.
Reading about people being sent home during orientation has gotten to my head. We really can't have a beer or two during the initial week? I'm not saying it's a huge deal, but it's my down time. Glad I read it here, because surely I would have had a drink at some point.

It's not like you're working in a bank, Miss Red. It doesn't hurt to ask, but I've seen many truckers tatted out.
For school, dress for working outside. Be sure to wear good shoes. Ankle high work boots maybe.
I totally get I'm going from a field that is strict about appearance to a field that I can relax a bit more. The question was involving orientation, which some have referred to as "one long interview." I've never worn jeans and a tee shirt, or exposed my tattoos, to an interview. I'll grab some boots. Glad I can instantly relax about my appearance. I appreciate the input.

Sorry to bring up a dead thread, but can someone tell me if I'll need to cover my sleeve while in orientation? Also, take out piercings? I realize it's like one big interview, so I wasn't sure how proper I need to dress for orientation week. Jeans and a tee ok? Trying to conserve space in my bag.

Flat spot on tires - please explain
Just to clarify, would I need to move every couple hours? Or just once? Also, is there a need to do this if you dried them out?

Crap. I'm planning on using them. I tried to search "CPA my town truck driver" and various things like that..and didn't come up with anything.
