    OK so here is my deal. I left Prime in November for medical reason's. Prime was very good about it. I was informed yesterday that I will be going through the rehire process in Pittston, PA.

    The personnel lady from Sprimo was very uninformative, everytime I tried asking a question she overspoke me and just said "it has to be a monday or tuesday" so I said ok in 2 weeks. After trying to ask questions just to be shot down with "as long as it's a monday or tuesday" 3 or 4 time's I just said YUP and hung up. Now Im in the dark as to where Im staying, what this process entails..etc etc etc...

    She was busy I think and wanted to get off the phone, so I know I should call my FM. Which I will be contacting tomorrow. BUT if anyone can give me more info about the process in Pittston, PA . I would greatly appreciate it.

    Keep your negative comment's to yourself. IM not into that crap...THANKS

    No different than before. If you're on the bus, then you call the shuttle when you get to town.

    There is a hotel. You'll probably have to share a room. There are dining facilities at the terminal. You go thru the whole orientation process again.

    What's the problem?

    I'm coming back to prime as a rehire on 03/05, and I was told I did not have to do the whole orientation just drug screen & physical & paper work.

    Come prepared for to go through it all over again and the only suprise might be a pleasant suprise that you didn't have to go through it all again.

    Ive heard many different time frames and scenarios from other returning former employees.

    I was told by my FM that I could turn in my truck and take a leave of abcense for 90 days. Less than 90 days and I would be dropped right back in a truck and rolling without any sort of paperwork, orientation, or training.

    So beyond that, I can't tell you anything with certainty.

    Besides, wouldn't it be better to be prepared, than to scramble around if there is a suprise.
