Hey thats when im going to!

 

Congratulations n welcome!

 

21 single no commitments....u may b perfect for the industry if you can handle the lifestyle....congrats on the letter

 

My suggestion, think long and hard about who you are going to work for before you do it!!! Prime CERTAINLY would not be my first choice! Nice trucks, pay sucks, your truck will be governed at 62.5 mph. There are tons of companies that will hire you right out of school that, IMO, would be much much better. CRST, Mavarick, TMC...that's 3 I can think of that I know of from friends that got into the industry. From what I hear of them, all 3 are pretty good places to work. Take the time to study the new regs coming out as well. We are expecting new HOS rules to hit us Jan. 1, 2012, EOBR's being mandated...just a bunch of things coming down the pike that could greatly effect how much money your going to make, when you will get home, etc. In short, I'd look at a few other places and ask a TON of questions before you take a leap with a company like Prime! Just my 2 cents, God know's you're going to need it.
Best of Luck

Drive Safe,

congrates man. its a good place to be.

 

CRST???

From the tone of your post, you've never had any PERSONAL experience driving for Prime. Which makes your post just more repeated Bravo Sierra.

 

CRST I heard bad stories about CRST I would stay away My buddy works for PRIME and he loves it there
