Cool. Do your research and watch the channels of the prime drivers that are on KZbin. Kinda get the flavor of how it is before you even get here.

How long after you applied did you get a leave date?? I’m going to Springfield but I have to wait till I’m 21 first

@@staticshock7838 I got a call back from the recruiter the next day after I filled the application. I don't know why you have to wait till you are 21. I think the rule has changed and now you can be 18 and still get your CDL.

Wutz up Moe?How long are you on the road with a trainer b4 Prime turns you loose to drive on your own?

[@moestransport]

For reefer it is a minimum of 30,000 miles of TNT. but if there is any incident or safety violation or if your TNT instructor feels you are not ready yet, they add 10,000 more miles to be completed

[@Moondoggy1970]

@@moestransport 🇺🇸👍🏽😎,Ok what about if you go flatbed are the miles required the same??

yea, they gata do 30K miles also... but if you are TNT in tankers then you have to do 25K only.

Hey Moe i got a question, whats your instructor name and did they tell you you have to share rooms with somebody? My instructor is taking me to do that and i dont prefer doing that

[@moestransport]

hey mohammed, i was never asked to share a room with any one and during the PSD phase i didn't spend the night (sleep) in the truck. We would leave PA in the morning and be back by the evening. there is no hard and fast rule about this, it all depends on your PSD instructor and you. Talk to your instructor and let him know your concerns. and if still not satisfied you can speak to the fleet manager you are assigned to .

[@mohammedbari3312]

@@moestransport thanks for your reply. May i ask who was your instructor? I signed up for Reefer but they gave me a instructor with a flat bed and he told me ge wont be doing loads with his students because its no point. I honestly prefer working with someone with a reefer and going out on delivery with him just like how you did

[@moestransport]

@@mohammedbari3312 My PSD instructor was garrett, but he left on vacation after i tested out so i don't know if he is back or if he is even taking on new students. Even if you dont do loads , that is fine.. your PSD trainer will still have you drive the truck for min 10 hours before you are ready for the CDL exam, so you will get plenty of practice.

[@teddychance6758]

What kind of drug test ?

[@silverkwick4996]

Hey Moe thanks for ur info bro I have a question since I have family is there a time off between psd and tnt training ? Thank u

[@moestransport]

Yes. Once you finish PSD and get your CDL, they have to find you a trainer. That takes a week or even two weeks. During that time you can go home and wait and still get paid 900 a week for waiting. It took me almost 3 weeks before they matched me up with a trainer. Hope that helps.

You get your own room. That is the norm. But I did hear of a few who said they got put in a room with another guy. But I don't think that's common. Let your FM know you require a single room.

first week of orientation is free meals but after the first week you have to pay for your own meal. They do give you a loan of 200 a week just to help you out but you have to repay prime that loan once you get hired.
