    So i graduated school on the 19th of this month and i originally applied for maverick, didnt get in due to an unstable job history...but thats kinda of the reasoning in going to trucking school...to have a stable career and to be able to provide for my family..So i applied for KLLM, Prime, falcon stevens, swift..and was aceepted into all of them, which was unexpected to say the least.
    After doing more research on these companies I felt that prime was a perfect fit for me..and im glad i went with them..
    I start orientation on the 8th and im really excited!...Its in the flatbed division, which is what i wanted to do..

    Ill update this post when i can..Also if anyone has any tips for me, im all ears!

    Thanks for the space!

    Thats one of the reason I went to flatbed...im a pretty active person and i go to the gym and work out a lot..So Im a pretty strong dude..
    and i dont want to loose alot of the strenght ive worked hard for..and sitting on my ### all day will be boring, so Ill want to be as active as possible..I leave for orientation monday morning...im friggin gettin excited

    Congrats on the decision. Don't let them try to stick you with a reefer trainer for your training, because they will try. If you do train with a reefer you do your 30k then you do another month with a flatbed for securement training. Start looking for a trainer now, or atleast the day you get to Springfield.

    Best of luck to you. Prime works good for some (I have a friend there and it works for her) but not others. But it's like that with any company

    I went through alot of posts on here about companies and thier DAC reports..and it was hard for me to find anyhting negative on here about prime..so once i had it narrowed down to a couple companies, prime was it for me
