This was perfect timing for this video. I just got my permit and I am starting orientation on January 27th in Pittston. Army Veteran myself, looking forward to the career change. Just gave my current company my 2 weeks notice today.
How much does it cost to get your permit? Can you give me some information to use to study for to get my permit here in Arkansas?Also, Thank you for your service👍
@@cwc8979, go to your local DMV website, all info is there along with the Commercial Driver Handbook pdf file to download for free (only in case your local DMV office doesn't have free booklets on a shelf, which is rare). Also, go to App Store on your device to download for free a CDL Prep. It's quite helpful. And finally, this one is pretty valid as well: ua-cam.com/video/EfW615ZnELE/v-deo.html
Really bummed about the California lease issue. I was leaning towards lease. Guess I'm going company. I'm sure I'll still make decent money. Maybe I'll be a trainer down the road.
Hey Baggs, saw you at the Millennium this afternoon before you headed up to HR. Wanted to say hello and see how your father was doing. You are a great guy to listen and genuinely care about what the lady’s concerns were when you had a tight schedule but you gave her your time. Good luck with your training.
Hey bags, saw your truck at the pad today as I was practicing ally dock backing. I was the red truck to your right. Also saw you leaving Millenium in a grey car with your luggage. My prayers about your dad.
Hey Bags, you guys didn't mention how long of a contract it is,after school.? I'm assuming 1yr. I live in Scranton, 10mins away from Pittston terminal! I'M planning to start March 1st. Great to see this video,
I haven't heard anyone talk about, what if you have your CDL? I have been driving for 22yrs., I have my my hazmats, and I'm a veteran. What would my process be? I have been a company driver for the last 15 yrs. with McLane.
Glad I watched this video. There's always fine print involved with anything you do. Only a $60.00 reimbursement for a flight ticket (because they can find them that cheap), even if you just drained your bank account to pay for a flight out there, they'll only give you $60.00 AND you gotta wait until you meet their certain guidelines for them to even wanna give you a refund! What a crock of SHIT!
@@CrazyBags I deleted all my social media brother. I sent you an email the other night though. Not sure if you recieved it, or it went to your spam folder.
I am grateful for your videos CrazyBags. Your videos are clear and informative to learn about trucking and Prime Inc. I am studying for my permit here in California, and I am leaning on contacting a Prime recruiter, possibly to do orientation/training in your Salt Lake City location, if possible. I have many questions, but I wanted to ask you about the CDL Permit testing. I want all endorsements, and I am planning to pass the General Knowledge/Air Brakes/Combo/Tanker sections, but how about the HazMat portion? Should I plan to pass that section as well?
High guy's I know that this video is a bit older you say that I can get my DOT physical before coming to prime an If I already have a DOT physical how much time do I need on it ? an what about a drug test ? Thanks al cirioni
You still would take a new Physcial and a drug screen, a prime sets this up and pays for it at a clinic near you during the recruitment process, call Dustin Hensley to get the process started!
I'm 66 years old and retired but drive box truck part time & did drive tractor trailer a couple of years but that was over 20 years ago, do you think I am to old to come to Prime ? Wish your dad a easy and smooth transition !! Love your videos Bags !
I have a question..I was a flight attendant from 1990 to 2002..I left United Airlines to raise my Son. I have a Class C CDL and have been driving a special needs bus going into my 6th year I worked nutrition for one school year prior to driving the bus for Portland Public schools. Since I was a stay at home mom will that be a ding against me or should I be OK Great information by the way… Thank you
Ok thank you for the info. Been doing research on UA-cam mostly for a few weeks now and never commented on a video before this one because this is the most detailed video on what you need before you apply and what to expect, more or less for new recruits. Seriously, thank you...
I applied and missed the call from a recruiter and I haven’t been able to get in touch with her through email or phone should I assume my application was rejected
Dustin was my recruiter back in May. Learned about him through CrazyBags channel. About to upgrade from TNT tomorrow! Thanks Bags!

Thank you!
What about people who have CDL and with no experience.?
Hey Bags, you guys didn't mention how long of a contract it is,after school.? I'm assuming 1yr. I live in Scranton, 10mins away from Pittston terminal! I'M planning to start March 1st. Great to see this video,
1 year is correct
I got my cdl at prime been gone for for 5 years I miss it
I haven't heard anyone talk about, what if you have your CDL? I have been driving for 22yrs., I have my my hazmats, and I'm a veteran. What would my process be? I have been a company driver for the last 15 yrs. with McLane.

What a crock of SHIT!
What about Texas? As well I already have a CDL what would that involve for the process?
Thank you for asking about Florida.
Bobby hit me up on Instagram I need to talk to you

@@CrazyBags crazybags357@gmail.com right?
Called to find out more recruiter was mean and rude. This was a year ago I have 8 years driving no preventable clean record
Call Dustin he Rocks!!

I just answered my own question, Prime only accepts owner operator here in California. Interesting.
Yes plan on Hazmat as well!
Only Company drivers in CA you have it backwards

I haven't driven OTR in about 5 years but my class a is still valid. Tips or suggestions. Thanks.
Same game plus camping and road food
well done. great info. thanks guys
I have my DOT physical for 2 yrs. and my CDL license Class A. What exactly is the $100 paying for?
Admin, hotel, food transportation ect
How abought a video on what happens when you all ready have your Class A from a driving academy.
60k TnT miles no PSD phase as long as you pass an evaluation but double check with Dustin
I'm 66 years old and retired but drive box truck part time & did drive tractor trailer a couple of years but that was over 20 years ago, do you think I am to old to come to Prime ? Wish your dad a easy and smooth transition !! Love your videos Bags !
Never too old if you can do the job!!!
What if you've been retired for 5 years and want to come out of retirement to drive??
That’s a recruiting question call Dustin
I have a question..I was a flight attendant from 1990 to 2002..I left United Airlines to raise my Son.
I have a Class C CDL and have been driving a special needs bus going into my 6th year I worked nutrition for one school year prior to driving the bus for Portland Public schools. Since I was a stay at home mom will that be a ding against me or should I be OK
Great information by the way… Thank you
Dustin should be able to work with that
I hear bad things about home time with Prime, is true? Can someone get home time every 2 weeks I'm in Florida
No
should i bring my w2 information
I’m wondering if prime hires in North Dakota, and with no CDL experience.
Yes, call Dustin in recruiting
I’m from Reno NV, would PRIME be a good choice for me?
What about felonies and why do they not hire out of Florida?
Hiring out of FL north of Lake Okeechobee and felonies depends on some things call a recruiter
Ok thank you for the info. Been doing research on UA-cam mostly for a few weeks now and never commented on a video before this one because this is the most detailed video on what you need before you apply and what to expect, more or less for new recruits. Seriously, thank you...
How's Texas? Yall hiring?
Yes
I guess my question is if I get in as a student when do I actually start earning a check?
once you have your CDL, for most students this means 3 weeks 1 week orientation 2 weeks PSD training
Hell yeah my job history is yikes bro 😬😬 thank you for asking him about that.
What’s the process with someone with a cdl class A with OTR and training exp. also how long do you have to be with prime before you can train
I applied and missed the call from a recruiter and I haven’t been able to get in touch with her through email or phone should I assume my application was rejected
If I would come and do a lease could I switch trucks before I buy my truck?
Yes but you get 0 back on the truck you are leaving early
Do you get paid for the orientation
I live in Connecticut! Where is the closest training place? Thanks
Pittston,PA
Is Prime hiring in Georgia?
Yes!
