I Have A Question About Prime
Topic 3968 | Page 1
I start prime on 6/30 and I was told by my recruiter I might have to transfer my permit to MO I was wondering if that is true. I have a GA permit.
I was told by my recruiter that My delaware permit needs to be transferred as well. And make sure you get a tanker endorsement. I was told only to get combination, general knowledge and air brakes but now they also want tanker endorsement
When I started at prime back in Feb I had my ok. permit and was good to go. So we're the guys in .mu class from Louisiana and California. Though thing could have changed
Funny you should ask this...Considering I have an Ohio Permit and I'm in Prime PSD Orientation week this very moment.
There are three questions you need to be able to say YES to.
1. Is my permit going to be VALID for at least 30 days? 2. Do I hold a Tanker endorsement? 3. Am I medically Certified in my state so I can drive INTERstate?
If you can say YES to ALL 3 questions you will not need to transfer your permit.
As far as should you have your permit and all that before you show up? It definitely made my life easier. They sent everybody who needed a permit over yesterday and quite a few didn't pass, so they have to retest today. And they don't teach you, it's all self study. So while you may need to throw down some $$ to do it in your home state for the physical and all that, I say go ahead and get it done. Save yourself the stress.
