Hey if you end up having to wait a month after all let me know. I might be free to take you as my next student. No guarantees though.

Daniel, you will be doing TNT correct?

TNT:

Trainer-N-Trainee

Prime Inc has their own CDL training program and it's divided into two phases - PSD and TNT.

The PSD (Prime Student Driver) phase is where you'll get your permit and then go on the road for 10,000 miles with a trainer. When you come back you'll get your CDL license and enter the TNT phase.

The TNT phase is the second phase of training where you'll go on the road with an experienced driver for 30,000 miles of team driving. You'll receive 14¢ per mile ($700 per week guaranteed) during this phase. Once you're finished with TNT training you will be assigned a truck to run solo.

Man that is an awesome story! I'm really curious to read the email you sent him originally, if you wouldn't mind posting it here of course. I think that it would be a great example of the right attitude to have. He clearly saw something worthwhile in you based solely on that email.

If I knew how to I would. But I don't believe there is any way you can copy and paste

If you use gmail. on a laptop, down the Left side of the screen, there should be a "Sent" tab. on your phone, just press the 3 little lines in the upper Left corner, then as you scroll down a little, there is the "sent" tab.

if you use yahoo, or hotmail, it is basically set up the same way for the laptop, as gmail. i am unsure about for the phone, though.

just find the proper email in the sent folder,and then, copy it, then paste it here. smile.gif

hope that helps

Stay safe

I start my orientation in a hour and a half. This makes me even more glad I chose Prime.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Wow, that is awesome! That is how you know there is a disconnect from the employees to the owners or management. Obviously the employees are not supposed to be so rude to ignore your flight home, but thank God they did. It allowed you to see the true integrity of Prime. I hope it all works out! I tried applying there, because I was out of work for 10 years because of a disability they told me "you are not hireable". They we're my top 3. My heart sank when I heard that. Again though, another phone call could have cleared it up to someone higher up the food chain. For me it all worked out anyway, so no complaints here!

WOW! That is just GREAT!! heartwarming if I may be so bold. Almost brought a tear to my eye. These are tough times for a lot of us, It's nice to see that people still care. Sometimes it seems no one does. very nice indeed!

What an inspiring story! I'm glad it worked out for you, and I'm looking forward to joining Prime hopefully in April when I finish CDL school.

CDL:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
