Thanks for the encouragement like I say I've been in business for years with my company Lone star vinyl fence I usually try to post videos on UA-cam but I've been so busy that I'm ready to sell the company and just move on is it better to get a CDL through prime or just get a private class CDL?
Thank you for this! My husband is away at orientation and this gave me a good visual of his living arrangement while he’s away from home and some things that he’s experiencing (:
Thank you Sir for that information it helps me a lot when I came to prime the first day. I put your referral code in my application, I just got my CDL and now am my TNT phase. Once again thanks a lot I hope new students can see this video so they know what to expect when they first came to prime
Submitted my application and talked to a recruiter. He submitted it for processing and said I should be getting a call back from him in a day or two. I hope everything check out! My work history is perfect and no problems with my regular drivers license. I have my permit as well but my background has a couple misdemeanors but they are more than 3 years old
Make sure to fill out your paperwork before class the first morning it will save you time. Make sure to bring your permit, license, birth certificate or passport other documents. Also make sure to bring both short form and long form of your medical card
Shout out to the grey hound terminal. Sounds pretty accurate. After you get done with the week and dont get sent home, you get an instructor assigned and go though the psd phase to get CDL.
If you come in with your CDL and two years experience already, do you still have to do the simulator class and what type of training do they have you go through or is it just a drive test?
I spoke with a recruiter yesterday, 5/22/23, and there’s a waiting list for classes at the Utah facility. They won’t have openings until July. I should have just gone in March when they were calling me every week…🤬!
If you been hopping jobs because they were slow would that be an issue with Prime? they say they accepted my application and am attending orientation next week. Just wanted to know if im wasting my time going if they are just going to send me home anyway for shady work history?
Not saying prime is a bad company, but i showed up last week for orientation. Hotel is very run down, the cafe on sunday looked nasty as hell. Had a roomate even though we both have 5 yrs exp. The room itself was run down, thermostat was broken with heat stuck on, they gave my roomate another room but not me and the check in woman at the front talks to you like you're stupid. So i got a rental and went back home so i didnt waste anymore of my time.
As a experienced commercial driver with 37 years, would I be required to go out with a trainer before getting my own truck, I would looking to going Lease operator
i am 58 i have owned my fencing co. for 33 years ,i was thinking about getting my CDL and work driving a truck.....my question is, is 58 too old to get a job trucking .... thank you for your response.
@@SaltyReels Typically a new OTR driver without experience can expect to make $50-$60 yr. Of course pay has a lot of variables. Some variables include the driver’s work ethic, capabilities, the trucking company he/she is working for and the freight lanes said company runs. One year of safe driving will Open a lot of more opportunities for a driver. Pay will typically go up substantially. It wouldn’t be hard for a driver with a clean record whom has one yr exp to earn 75K yr or more. Teaming will also increase a drivers revenue. The best advice most experienced drivers give is to drive for the same carrier for at least one year, keeping a clean record and then you can pretty much write your own ticket. ( no pun intended.). Hope this helps.
If a person is driving for 35 year do you still have to start start from beginning? And do I have to use cpap machine even if I never used one before just asking for a friend
Hi Sir, Thanks for posting all these informative videos. They motivated me to get my CDL and I am considering applying to drive for Prime. However, since I live in California would that mean I would have to relocate to Utah or MO ? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
What if your work history is not correct . ? I was actually out of the country and haven’t worked in 2 years . I just said I was working for my last company just to fill out he work history .
So im considering going to the Pittston, PA location. I should have my permit by Monday. My question how long exactly does it take to get my CDL with prime. And when TNT starts will i be returning to hotel or just basically living out of the truck until 50k miles? I need to know how to pack accordingly
Ok . My first language is French , English I speak I understand go street go left go right go back I just make sure is possible can I have your phone number or your office address I live Indiana
I did see the comment where you said that you cannot have an animal unless it’s a service animal through while your at the campus in, I’m just curious how long you are at the inn for? I also would like to know if some trainers allow people to bring their dogs? And how long is that process? TYSM 😊
You would have to get approval to bring a pet. They want you to be focused on the training and a pet can be a distraction. From start to end of train can be like 4 to 5 months depending on hometime and stuff
@@TwiztedDTrucker Right that makes sense I under see and that completely. And wow I did not know it took that long but I mean you’re literally learning how to drive a semi lol Thank you for responding 😊
As long as it wasnt in a commercial vehicle and it wasnt really bad and depending on any citations you recieved most bigger companies will work with you.
@TwiztedD Hey Twist! I just turned 22. Just started researching cdl’s and trucking. I’ve always loved trucks. I put Mary down for good. I just have one question. I’ve been seeing mixed info on drug testing. Do they drug test before orientation? or Do they do the first drug test @orientation? I’ve spoken to a recruiter already. I’m in the application stage still. I want to continue, BUT not at the risk of my future career ofc. With that being said, I wouldn’t start orientation until June 5th. I stopped in Apr. should I wait until I’m clean to continue the process? I know I’ll be good to go by June 5th. Just not to confident about before. Won’t risk it if there’s a chance they’ll have me test before. I’ll wait. Thanks for the response in advanced!
On the second morning if you are already using CPAP machine bring it and you will be sent over to Cardinal Sleep to get your readings and setup to remote monitor your compliance. You can go back to room to get it if you need to.
@@TwiztedDTrucker California. The recruiter said they have nobody to train people. It’s like, really? A giant company like prime doesn’t have anyone to train?
@@MotivationMir I’ve worked for a gentleman who owned his landscaping company and paid me cash, I never filled out a w2 or anything like that, you think that’ll disqualify me?
Hey bro when filling out my app online and listing past employment I listed my time with one company and when pulling my W2 to take to orientation which I leave this Saturday I noticed when the company merged with our sister company it changed name and therefore gave me an additional W2.. I immediately notified Angela Gomez and she said I was absolutely fine and ro updat my app. I did that and she said all is good. Do you believe I'll be ok.
@@TwiztedDTrucker I found information on Google about CDL paid training program but that might be old now. If Prime really does allow it that would be really nice for a female trainee like me who fart a lot during my sleep lol
Yeah or they get you a greyhound ticket. They will reimburse you the cost of the greyhound ticket. Don't for get to use my driver code COXDJO on your application. Thanks D
All I can say is if u come from a different company with minimal experience, take it from me, see if u can do time with a trainer. Do not assume u know what ur doing, other companies did not teach me the correct way to do things. It’s hell if u don’t know how to use the equipment.
Hey appreciate the video I was wondering do prime do hair follicle test. I been clean from thc for 2 months and I’m good for a urine test but idk about hair follicle test. Also I quit smoking for good I’m just ready to get my career started
Is there a waiting list to get into orientation? Or could I hypothetically be there within the next month? I just dyed my hair, could that interfere with the drug test? Can you take the trucks home? Sorry I've been having a hard time getting a recruiter on the phone because of my working hours but I'll hopefully get off earlier tomorrow.
Because loads are slow. Right now. Prime inc . Does not needs drivers right now. Then are just pretending to need drivers. Most of the drivers. Theyare hiring right now is drivers who have there CDL . At least for 6months . Tops .
@@fearlessfly100 They told me 2 weeks ago they are NOT hiring trainees from my State. WA. Now WHY that matters when you are going to be OTR with a trainer for so long I have no clue. All good though. I'm getting HOOKED up with my Class-A right here in my home town at the College. And I qualified for like 3 GRANTS that cover all the tuition in FULL and NO...one of them is NOT a PELL grant. Seriously folks go check your local colleges and see what they have.

You will have to do the simulator thing. It depends on the experience. You need to talk with a recruiter.

Not if you have otr experience ask a recruiter
I'm just curious.. why do they make you go to school for a cdl then get a carrier and go back to school again?
You don't have to go to school
How does it work if you share a room & snore while sleeping
If you can't handle it you can asked to be moved rooms

Yup finally
Are you allowed to leave the campus at all? Like to go visit a friend ? I wanna be free after hours.
Yeah
Do u need 1 year experience to get hired?
No we train permit on up
What is the rehiring process and do I have to complete 50K miles again? I wanna come back as lease.
They keep changing it back and forth 30k to 50k
Can you be able to train me at prime u the best I was referred by a couple people

It's always a good ideal
How much CDL COST
1 year working here
I live in georgia will they mail me the paperwork for my drug test like my school did? Or will they have me do it at their facility?
Depends on do you have your CDL already
@TwiztedD yes sir I have mine already I went to Georgia driving academy in columbus ga
