Prime or medium size company.

Does anyone have experience with eastern freightways out of New Jersey ? Sister company to NEMF? I've been approved for both Prime and EF and it's becoming a hard decision to choose one or the other. I'm sure Prime has the better equipment , probably better training and all, but EF drivers average $50k+ per year starting for new drivers. Also weekends off. Any input would be more than appreciated since I already have orientation days set for both.

 

Is Eastern Freightways worth passing over on Prime? I'm sure Prime is top notch but EF seems to have those missing qualities. Home time and probably an extra couple of bucks.
Just quit my box truck job. Was salary at $1000 per week, 5 days . NYC deliveries. I'm 45, wife and kids. Looking to gain tractor experience. Just looking for as much info as possible.
Why did you leave Eastern?

 

I'm already numb to NYC/LI traffic. It's definately not an area to get paid by the miles if you ask me.
I'm supposed to be on the bus for prime on Sunday or be in camp hill, pa for EF on Monday . I do like Prime. 40k miles of training does sound excessive but I'm sure I can only benefit from that training experience.
I'm guessing if you were in shoes you'd go with EF?

 

Meant my shoes

 

Kids or no kids I wouldn't lease without any experience anyway. Too old to make those types of mistakes without any experience. I'm sure many people lease more out of excitement than anything else. ive heard common sense is not that common nowadays .
