Burnt out on career of over 20 years.. Want to start trucking career with Prime
I know not to quit a job before getting another one. I guess I didn't know I could get a firm offer from them since I need training.. Sorry for the confusion.

Burnt out on career of over 20 years.. Want to start trucking career with Prime
Hello all,
I had been in the casino industry for over 20 years.. Earlier this year I left to try new things. I was unemployed for 3 months. I became a restaurant manager for a couple months and now currently working as a letter carrier for the postal service and only been doing that for a month now. I was also unemployed for a few months back in 2014.
Before I got hired on for the postal service I was heavily researching the trucking career and have read a lot of posts on here. I love to drive and want to see the country. Single. No kids.
I've got a few questions..
- Am I not a candidate for Prime Inc because of this unemployment (twice) and recent change of jobs this year? My explanation is I was looking for change on being burned out but feel they look down on this. Many people change to trucking as a new career so I don't understand why they make this an issue?
- I have also filed for bankruptcy last year. I don't think this is anyone's or their business but I need to know if this is a factor of getting accepted at the school or not
- How can I be sure that if I put my 2 weeks notice in on my current job that I am set to get accepted into the school? Is their a pre-application or something to that affect that tells me I'm a candidate or not?
I cannot afford to quit current job and somehow be denied entry into the school. I really want to work for Prime because of several factors. I live in Missouri. I want to be able to have a dog with me. The real world training seems ideal for me.
I don't need re-assurance as for trucking life goes. I know I want it. I just need to be sure that I am not going to be denied.

Living in your rig?
Thanks to the OP for bringing this topic up..
This is my main interest to get my CDL. Living in a truck is kind of my dream. Over the road. Expenses would be minimal for me as I do keto and intermittent fasting. I get to travel around the country. I'm an outdoor person so my entertainment expenses would be nill. I'm single and don't need a "Place". Just interested in putting money away for retirement. Just me and the dog.
When I build up 4 weeks vacation from my current job I will use it all to go to school. Most likely Prime. Can't wait.
