Prime Tnt

First...YAY!!!! Second....you won't get the same type of loads because they know two people get there faster than one. Third...when you upgrade tell your FM about your concerns. Fourth....by the time you go solo you won't be as worried about that clock.
And.....sixth....didn't we talk about you being concerned about what is going on NOW instead of way ahead. Slow yourself young Jedi.
Fm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
Slow yourself young Jedi.
^^^^^ You're doing just fine Reaper. Stay in the here and now!
I know rainy, its just the 2 am near passing out moment waiting at the shipper lol. Trainer asked if i minded if he could take a quick nap while waiting on a call for the dock to open. I didnt mind. Lol i know what i get is what i get. I was gonna vouce them only if they remain when i upgrade. Honestly was just rambling and giving an update. For once i actually wasnt looking for help but thank you very much. Lol i know just about every post ive made it was always looking for help or advice. Im taking it easy, one step at a time.
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.

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.

Im out in tnt and 4th load out. Sitting at the reciever alone to my thoughts and i figured id post here. Ive done a lot in my short time here in trucking. Ive done in a hand ful of weeks it takes others a couple months to accomplish. Im not burnt out yet and i dont plan on it. However, my trainer is phenominal and every load has been time critical and on top been leaving shippers late (reefer life suffering the live loads). We still manage to make it early. This makes me proud, but also worried. Im going to have the same dispatcher. Im nervous about grtting these kind of loads when i go solo as my first bunch of dispatches.
