Hiring questions

I have had my Class A with all endorsements except Haz-Mat since I retired from the Military in 2003.
I drove a school bus for awhile but other then the Military and growing up driving big farm equipment I have no experience that would translate.
My wife used to drive for Prime which is why I am looking at them to drive for.
The first recruiter told me they do not except new drivers.
After seeing the training school on their website I called back and got a better recruiter who took my info and actually took some time to talk to me.
However I still have questions and since I am currently in Belgium maybe I can get the answers through here.
My wife and I want to drive as a team with a lease truck and I am just curious what I need to do to get hired?
I am willing to start over or take a refresher class or whatever is needed.
As a rated vet the VA will pay for retraining.
I am looking to see about trying to work sometime in Aug after we move from Anchorage to the Portland area.
Being gone is no big thing as I currently spend twenty days a month flying and loading 747s out of the country anyways.
I want a job where I can still travel and see the country without being couped up on a aircraft.
I have a clean driving record and good health.
I have a background in logistics and schooling in that area as well.
So does anyone have a clue as to what I need to do to have a chance at getting hired by prime and is it as good of company to work for as my wife remembers?

Thanks!

 

Yep I did 23 yrs on the Herk. Slicks,Rescue and Gunpigs.
I avoided the big three assignments except for instructor school and Dyess at the end.Dyess does not count though as I spent 2 straight years deployed to the Sandbox from there before I retired.
I see a lot of former Loads are happy driving trucks after they retire.
