    I think you've made good choice going with Prime(leasing); from my calculation based on leasing between Prime and Schneider you would earn about 15-20% MORE per months on average with Prime - Based on 25% tax bracket. ||>Schneider reference: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...ce-saga-sadwar-continues-197.html#post4544794 ||>Prime Settlement Reference: http://www.truckingtruth.com/truckers-forum/Topic-4433/Page-2/questions-about-prime-leasing As s kissing is somewhat necessary to your dispatch manager (might be Buddy Hall), it's also in his best interest to have you making high earnings ( you in his top 10% drivers with highest earnings or whatever) since he getting a cut from it || So first fews month he'll gauging you on oh now reliable / dependable / punctual you are...so gives 110% ;)

    Pre trip day....PAY ATTENTION!!!
    lots of important ( good) stuff today . When the instructors have thier trctors outside be reactive and get in seeing what they are teaching. Instructors like to see students who are actively involved in learning
