    I'm currently a city courier in Denver and I'm considering getting my CDL because I'm not making much and have a wife and two kids to support. I applied to Stevens because they will cover the cost of CDL training at one of their facilities then hire you. After that you do 5 or 6 weeks one on one with one of their trainers.
    It sounds good to me, but has anyone had experience with this process/work for Stevens and have any insight?
    Thanks!

    well yes that is really really bad.

    I wish you well.
    Does Prime hire in CO? At least there you'd earn a lot better right off the bat.

    I'm not sure, I'll look into it. Do they have a good rep/pay well?

    sure wish you would keep your facts correct,

    prime pays 38 cents per mile....
    Stevens pay 33 cents per mile....

    Both have fuel bonuses.

    Questions for the first year, which fits the driver better? As the actual take home form both will be the same, less than $1,000 per week.

    Thanks for the info. I don't know the differences between the two, so I don't really know what would be a better fit.
