Prime Orientation 3/21

Does Daniel B live in Florida?
He does not live in FL and he no longer works at Prime either. He can definitely give you some great advice on how to get placed with a trainer at Prime though!
Good luck and keep us updated!
Congrats!
BTW, keep those "formal trucker clothes" for when you're at a shipper or receiver. Get yourself some sweats, cotton shorts, and sneakers. Most of your time will be spent driving - be comfortable. Comparing sitting in a pair of jeans in a chair for 10 or so hours a day with sitting in a pair of sweats is really no comparison at all.
Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

TT On Facebook
Well after much thought and debate 2 to 3 years of research and changing my mind. I have finally made up my mind. I have been approved and accepted with Prime and I start 3/21. I will be getting my bus and hotel information tomorrow. I'm so excited. Can't stress that enough. I've braced my mind for the lifestyle away from family living In a truck and I think I'm ready. Today I got some blue jeans shirts and a pair of boots. Tomorrow the full list will come in of what I need and I will be sure to get that. I will start a training diary and possible Vlog on YouTube. But we will see how much time I actually have. I look forward to seeing all of you. We won't know it but we'll be traveling the same roads, dealing with the same things. Talk to everyone real soon.
Any trainers on TT that life in Florida? Does Daniel B live in Florida?
