Your thing says you've been a Trucker for 0-1 years.
It says you've been a member since 2011 (although some might not notice that), it's 2014 so it looks like you have abt 3-4 years.
I've been a road Trainer, an Instructor (school), 3ed party CDL Examiner, credited as a Vocational Education Instructor.
I've not experienced much respect for any of that anywhere I've been since.
It's a good job, if you get work at a school, you can go home every day & have a life & such.
I don't know anything about prime.
Pay was abt 25K yr in the early 1990's.
becoming a trainer?

Once again for the record, AT PRIME, "Trainers" DO NOT teach students how to drive. They teach trainees (people with a CDL license already in possession) How to operate the business as Prime requires them to, They may help polish some backing skills but that is it, "Instructors" teach students how to drive the truck.

People that Prime Employees are the ones doing the CDL testing atleast a few years ago when I went through there "so called" training... So now you see why so many bad drivers are out on the road... Im sure England and swift operate the same -

It's quite common for the states to employ third-party testers. I don't know what the beef is here... state DOT folks wouldn't be able to do enough driving in a commercial vehicle to be proficient. At the third-party CDL driving school I attended in CO, a certified instructor performed the check rides.

either way, pass/fail rate is such that I don't think anyone can accuse Prime's testers are rubber stamping exam results. Backing failures were getting out of hand and they really had to stress backing practice whenever the instructors could find time out on the road with their students.
theyre really trying to break this mindset (or laziness) of instructors that think no backing on the road and then teaching it over a day or two on the pad before testing is a good idea. Students that getting backing practice early on get better test results.
