    Nubes---- Don't waste your time!

    Two weeks ago I was all packed ready to go to orientation for Prime. On the day I was to get my ticket info the recruiter called to say there are no trainers available until further notice.

    Next step, go to Swift and set up orientation. Same exact thing happened this morning. I have a clean record and solid work history so I know it's not me.

    If Swift is being effected by this economy that's a bad sign for the rest of the companies.

     Maybe'  Prime Inc. is worried'. about' all of its operating costs!  Fuel Insurance Payroll'  They use to cover the transpertation to class' .. no more!

    And im thinking a person' may want to buy a return ticket! just for safety sake!  Cruzer

      Could we see a stand down on Company Sponsored Training..  ??                                                                                                                cruzeralways@aol.comCool

    HERE'S WHAT I POSTED IN THE PARKING LOT:

    WELL, HERE IT IS: I HAVE BEEN A FEW THINGS IN MY LIFE, A MOM, SOCIAL WORKER, WIFE, EX-WIFE, WIFE AGAIN, ESTRANGED WIFE, AND MOST RECENTLY A CLASS A CDL HOLDER AND TRAINEE FOR 1 WEEK AT ONE OF THE LARGEST COMPANIES.  IT STARTED OUT A LITTLE ROCKY AT FIRST, AFTER BEING SENT HOME FROM ORIENTATION CUZ THERE WERE NO TRAINERS AVAILABLE, AND THEN BEING PUT OFF THE TRUCK AFTER ONE DAY CUZ THE TRAINER'S WIFE WOULD DIVORCE HIM IF HE KEPT ON TRAINING A FEMALE.  NOW I AM ON THE TRUCK WITH TRAINER #2 FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS AND HE IS REALLY COOL AND I AM LEARNING A LOT.  I DROVE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS IN ARIZONA LAST NIGHT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS--SO I AM PRETTY PROUD OF MYSELF.  THIS IS A BRAND NEW AND EXCITING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND I CAN'T WAIT TO UPGRADE TO MY OWN TRUCK SO I CAN GO OUT AND SEE AS MUCH OF THE U.S. AS POSSIBLE--MAYBE EVEN SOME OF CANADA.  THANK YOU ALL FOR LENDING YOUR EARS TO MY NEWBIE BLOG AND RESPOND IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU THINK I MIGHT NEED TO KNOW OR ANYTHING NICE TO SAY--ALL NAYSAYERS--KEEP THE NEGATIVITY AWAY FROM ME--I ENJOY KEEPIN IT POSITIVE AND HAPPY ON A DAILY BASIS.        Big Smile
