    Hi all,

    I start Prime orientation on October 27th. I can't wait! Anyone else here starting that week?

    I'm going to be living in the truck at least for the first 6 months to a year. My real question is, does Prime run through the southwest often? I'm going to leave my things in storage in Northern Arizona (Flagstaff) and it's right off of the I40. How often can/should I expect to be passing thru on the I40? Technically my home will be on the road but I'm wondering how often Prime's routes will take me to Southern CA, Phoenix, or Vegas (so I can potentially stop here in AZ to pick up mail, etc).. Hoping I can get over here at least once a month or every 2 months.

    Thanks drivers! Also, how long did it take you to see every state in the lower 48? Hoping I get some crazy random routes all over the country.

    Take care out there,
    - Justin

    We spend plenty of time in that area, mostly traveling through NM/AZ/NV from what I can tell, but you'll definitely visit california.

    I hit 44 or 45 states in training and since then (arpil/may) I've been to 46. Maine and Vermont continue to elude me. Not that I'm complaining, going to Maine and Vermont means I might have to spend time in Pennsylvania.

    All but 2 states in first two months, here. Not long to get other two down.

    As far as frequence to particular area, can't count on it in the sense of regularity. All dependent on what loads you get. Been back & forth through that area multiple times in month. Other times haven't in months.

    You would work with your FM to get you loads running through there when needed.



    Welcome & good luck to you. ;)
