    i talked to prime and they said i would have to take a refresher course or go back to school before they could touch me since its been over a year and 1/2. i talked to central and they said since im below jackson ms that they didnt hire out of that area. i also talked to r. e. west and i didnt like the way they acted and they hold your check 3 weeks. i talked to ffe in tx and they said i would have to sign a contract for a refresher and its close to 5,000 in cost so i dont want to do that. i talked to swift and they would work with me and no contract. so i am kind of leaning toward them. i did talk to ptl but they are autos and i need a stick. if anyone knows any other companies that would work with me out of souther ms since ive not been driving for over a year and 1/2 let me know. i do have all my endorsements. so far right now it looks like i may be going to swift. thanks .

    i talked to a woman from prime and she gave me the impression that i would have to go somewhere else to a school or refresher before they would talk to me since its been over a year and 1/2. i didnt know they had a refresher. is there someone i could talk to about that at prime? how does their refresher work if they have one? thanks alot. appreciate it.
