Profile For Matthew C.

Congrats Liz! I knew you’d get it done! I’ll be seeing you out here on the road or at a terminal somewhere. I just tested Tuesday and I’m at the house enjoying some home time waiting on my tnt to get routed through N.C.

Well, I trifecta’d this week out of Pittston! After running 2800 miles straight. Then transferred my cdl to N.C. now waiting on my tnt to get routed out here so I can get started. In the mean time, I get to spend quality time with my wife and three dogs and see the rest of the family. Congrats btw Kearsey!

We’re in the same boat, just gotta take it a day at a time. Orientation will be fun this week and hectic I’m sure. Lol

Well, I’ve arrived at the hotel. So far so good. Be prepared to redo the application part lol

You got me there lol

Oh I’m sure it will be. But that’s life tho, nothing I haven’t done before lol. I actually read your diary a few weeks back and that’s what helped me make my decision. Plus I’m an active person by nature, so gotta have something intriguing.

Good luck Matthew. Prepare for a whirlwind flurry of activity followed by a lot of "hurry up and wait". Orientation week will run you through a range of emotions. Nothing you can't handle though.

Welcome to the forum, welcome to Prime, and welcome to flatbedding! You're in for a good time!

Hahaha yeah, I think I can handle the onions. The draft from the truck will keep the smell out and keep my eyes clear lol. Never knew onions got hauled on flatbeds tho lol learning something already

Sure you want to flatbed?

Ask Turtle what he's hauling right now.

I am headed to orientation on Oct. 14th for Prime inc. in Pittston, PA. From what I was told I’ll be in the flatbed division which I chose. Just took my pre-screened drug test today, I have to go and get my long form physical from the place I received it at. I upgraded my permit to Class A with tanker. Aced all my exams because of the High Road Training guide. (Thank you to the people who put it together!) I’ve been all over the different threads on this site(just reading) I hope to share some of my experiences going through the Pittston school. The reason I picked flatbed is it’s more “demanding” and will give different tasks each load. Physically that is. Not that any other division isn’t demanding in some way or another. Any advice would be greatly appreciated or if you wanna just chop it up that’s cool as well..
