Profile For Brian A.

I live in northwest Georgia and I will heading out this evening to start prime training on monday. I'm just trying to get a head start on finding a trainer.

Just finished my orientation week. Word of advice: absolutely everything I stressed about, from agility to physical to permit, to sim lab tests was no problem what's over...my stressing made it harder than it should have been. So be calm, relax and come with a whole lot of patience. It is a lot of fun when done with a positive attitude.

Thank you for the advice. Best of luck.

I was just posting this to see who is going to company sponsored training at prime on the 5th?

After look over all my options for company sponsored training. ( Insert drum roll) I have picked Prime Inc. I should be starting classes in Springfield of September 5th. Who else on here is heading to Springfield on the 5th?

Thanks for the links brother. Really has helped. I was just wondering which would be better to start with. Both would be OTR 11-14 days out, 3 home. Are there slow times is freight? FB vs DV.

Welcome to the forum Brian. I am not going to offer you an answer, no one here can tell you what is the best path for you to take without knowing anything about you. It all depends on you and what you want to do. The best place to start is to educate yourself on the Different Types of Truck Driving Jobs. Take a look at the past threads on the subject to help formulate what is entailed and the basic differences between flat bedding and running a dry-van. Then I believe you are in a much better position to nswer that very question for yourself.

Beyond that, I suggest investing some time reading and working with the following links:

• Truck Driver's Career Guide
• Brett's Book: The Raw Truth About Trucking (free online version)
• High Road Training Program

Good luck.

They said I would go to Gary Indiana if I went with flatbed. Sorry man. luck be with you brother. At some point in the future, we may run across each other.

Hey Brian, I start with Roehl September 5th in Wisconsin for flatbed. Maybe I'll see you there?

I have spoken with a Roehl recruiter today. I have been offered Flat bed or Dry Van. She said with flat bed she could get a training date set faster. Possibly Sept 5th. She dry van could be Sept 11th if they didn't push it back. Just wondering which would be better to start with Dry Van or Flat Bed?
