Congrats Rosario E. and Good Luck
Have fun! I just went through the PAD program at Prime at Salt Lake city in January. I'm on the TnT phaseptic now. Take your time, don't give up and have FUN. The first week driving is HARD. So many things going through your mind but just take it slow and work hard and you will do fine. Study the pre-trip when ur not driving. It will pay off. Safe travels driver.
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 14ยข 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.

TT On Facebook
Happy to say that I started with Prime Inc., (2/22/16), and I have to say the staff and drivers here at Salt Lake City, Utha have treated me with the Up most respect.
I am going out with my instructor on Monday, 2/29/16, if everything goes well I will be returning to the Prime agency here in Utha in 2 to 3 weeks to test form my CDL A.
I do want to recommend this trucking company.
They paid for my bus ride to the hotel and have paid for meals as well. From 2/22/16 through today 2/28/16.
If you do join Prime Inc. Make sure to get your CDL Permit, your Medical Examiner Certificate, and your tanker endorsement, that will save so much time and no headaches.
People do their orientation in 4 days and they get their instructors right away, women take longer to get a instructor if they request a female instructor, so if you don't mind a male instructor you will be going out right away.
Loving my decision to become a truck driver.
Hope this helps.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
DAC:
Drive-A-Check Report
A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).
It may also contain your criminal history, drug test results, DOT infractions and accident history. The program is strictly voluntary from a company standpoint, but most of the medium-to-large carriers will participate.
Most trucking companies use DAC reports as part of their hiring and background check process. It is extremely important that drivers verify that the information contained in it is correct, and have it fixed if it's not.
