    [SUB]Do all trucks have the bumper bar, and if you ask for it will you get it, whats the equipment they primarily use like Cascadia, Kenworth, etc and if you ask for a certain truck can you get it, do they have a school, and what are the divisions.[/SUB]

    Deer Guards are installed on all Company trucks.
    Company drivers gets Freightliner Light wts, unless they are training or have an extenuating circumstance.
    You get issued what ever trucks they have at the time. Being a new driver you really going to get what they have, once you have more time with them then MAYBE you can work a deal with your FM.
    Prime has its own training division
    Reefer, FB, Tanker

    NO, now let me explain.

    If you don't have your CDL then you go through the PSD (Prime Student Driver) program. YOU ARE NOT an employee at that time. Once you go through the program and get your license then you become an employee. Prime fronts the cost of the school for a 1 year guarantee of employment, meaning if you stay with Prime for one year you don't have to pay for the school.

    Deer Guards are on the lease trucks as well. Company drivers that are flatbed are not issued lightweights. ;)

    No... Lease drivers don't purchase them. They're supplied when you get the truck along with the APU.
