That's not going to be a problem. He just needs to understand how to schedule his hometime to make the system work for him. Give his FM 2 weeks notice, remind a week beforehand. A range of days is better than a specific date, although they'll do their darnedest to make it work for a given day. If you need to be home on Saturday, shoot for a Thursday arrival, etc.

I am considering Prime CDL school and as I was reading on the company website, I noticed that you have to become a lease operator after schooling? Is this right, or am I misunderstanding the language on the web page? I don't want to be a lease op, just a company driver. In a year or so, my wife will be getting her CDL so that we can become team drivers. I am going to school first, so that when she comes onboard, I can train her.
If I have to become a lease op, I guess I will scratch prime off of my list. Any info is appreciated!

No one is required to be a lease operator. You can run on the company side for as long as you like.
