James's Bio

I begin my journey with Prime Inc. as a PSD on Monday, August 22nd. I am looking forward to learning how to become a professional driver. I strongly believe that we are all continuously learning. I definitely do not know everything, but I am always looking to learn new ways or to gain wisdom from those who have gone before me. If you have any positive insight, words of wisdom, and/or can help me out with any questions, then I will be forever grateful! I look forward to working with you all soon.

Best Cell Company for OTR drivers?

Thanks Errol :) I've been trying to decide Verizon, T-Mobile, or Straight Talk. I plan on purchasing a cell booster once the money starts rolling in.

1.8 Million Truckers Could Lose their Jobs to Robots?? Really??

If airplanes still need pilots then trucks will always need drivers.. Airplanes have amazing auto pilot capabilities but they can't land themselves lol 😂 same with trucks. Trucking as a whole would have to be revamped to accommodate these trucks. Imo!

I am backing this concept. You cannot replace human work. You can try via AI, but to avoid misinformation... you will need human point of contact.

Moving and Prime Inc.

Thanks for your wisdom folks! :) I'm going just jump in with both feet. I'll talk with Oklahoma DPS when I register my car and let them know to notate that I will be temporarily changing my license to Mo for truck training at Prime then bringing it back to Oklahoma to exchange my license. Hopefully, this will keep Oklahoma from chasing me for updating my personal vehicle to Missouri. Thanks again for your input folks! :)

Moving and Prime Inc.

Howdy everyone,

So I have read some information in regards to relocation before starting PSD (Prime Student Driver) in Springfield, Mo., however, what does one do with their personal vehicle. Some of you will say to sell it, and while I agree with this view point, I would very much like to keep my independence when on home time. I am moving from Texas to Oklahoma before leaving for Prime next month for PSD. I have already been utilizing the training here on TT and studying the Mo State CDL Manual for months. The state of Missouri no longer allows for out-of-state CDL Permits or medical cards when going to training programs for any company (New Law as of January 1, 2016). So Prime has set up the system where you surrender your home state license and change your domicile to the Campus Inn. All of which is legit. The only question I have is that when your license changes, what do you do with your personal vehicle? Once you submit your information through the DMV of Missouri, your home state is then notified and your personal vehicle is then put into jeopardy (for insurance and tags/title/registration). So I ask for some wisdom in how to avoid this issue, since your home state is notified of your "move" and license change. I really want to avoid changing my personal vehicle insurance twice when my vehicle will be left at home in Oklahoma throughout the duration of my training time. Especially since the vehicle has a lien and that is extra paperwork I'd rather not endure. How have you guys delt with this or a similar situation, besides selling the vehicle? Thanks in advance for your input and help!
