    Hmm seems like a sham if you ask me. Prime's the only company I've seen where they charge you for so called " admin fees ".

    Gonna call Maverick tomorrow, hopefully my long spell of being unemployed won't hinder my chances with them.

    You're right. It's ridiculous that they pay transportation to Springfield, your meals and hotel for the week of orientation, and a physical and ask for $100 to cover a small portion of the costs to run DACs, backround checks, and the recruiters cut of organizing everything.

    My friend, that totally went over your head didn't it? The point I was making is that pretty much every other trucking company does what you said, and doesn't charge for " admin fees ". Even the lowest of the low companies like SWIFT and Werner don't charge you.

    That's the first months' rate for inexperienced CDL-holders just coming in for TnT training. That was bumped to $600 a few weeks ago. Look at your thread for your answer for permit students.
