    Well I wanted to thank everyone for there help. I received a call tonight from Gordon and they offered me a job. Yard is 20 miles from my home, and pay is good. So I accepted and am now just waiting on a trainer. I have definetely gained respect for you drivers here in Prime, and hope to bump into some of you down the road someday.

    Hey all, well im tired of getting dicked around by recruitors, so I've made up my mind and decided to go with Prime, I talked To Gracie this morning and have a orintation date of Dec 21. So now I need to make a choice whether I want to go flatbed or Reefer, Im located in PacNW, so I have concerns about getting hometime with a flatbed. Also Im a little concerned with the amount of training time. I was told with Flatbed training would be 4 months, and with reefer it would be 40-60k miles. I was also told if i go reefer i will get the smaller truck instead of the Condo, which is kind of a concern to me also. I want my truck to have the commodities, like a fridge and hopefully a space for a tv. Its gonna be my home away from home and I want it to be as comfortable as possible. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Smaller trucks... have em' pull the passenger seat. Great spot for a dorm fridge. Buy the TV mount at the company store, and the detail shop will install it for you. Otherwise you just have to be a little creative concerning storage.
