Looking At Prime

I'm looking at going with Prime or one or two others as a company driver. Right now I'm not interested in Leasing a truck, although if I worked there and seen people making money with it, I may change my mind.

Keep in mind I need to get a CDL and their training program looks good. I like the idea the training with a trainer is longer the just 2 weeks, especially with winter coming on. I haven't driven a big truck in 20 years.

I would like feedback if I should consider going with them as a company driver. I just don't see enough bad post on here other then leasing to understand why their included in the "WORST COMPANY POLL"

Personally I don't mind making a time commitment to anyone for training. I learned along time ago that sometimes you have to take the bad with the good and good with the bad to get what you want.

 

WOW, companies this afternoon seem to be coming out of the woodwork with interest. I applied at 7 companies online within the last 2 days and 5 of them have called with 2 conditional hires before the background check even (which is spotless just like work history and driving).

Prime
MCT "Midwest Coastal Transport"
Schneider
CR England
Roehl
Interstate Distributors
Drivers Solutions encompising Pam, Allen Frieght, CRST a couple others

I have my eye on two for sure< just need to decide over the next week

 

From what I understand from reading post about training it is long, but with winter coming up it may not be a bad thing to have years of experience with you in the truck. Plus from what I understand they are pretty accomondating about switching you to a different trainer if you don't like the one you with. My downside is living her in Florida it's not only tough getting hometime, it's tough just getting several companies won't even hire out of here because of lack of freight coming out.
