    Prime Inc. and Central Refrigerated have good reputations for high quality training with no money up front. Prime even pays you $600.00 a week while riding with a trainer.
     
    BigX72 Thanks this.

    Yes, I'm going with PRIME Inc. They really impressed me with their company and answered all my questions fully. I really like the 12 week training program which will benefit me a bunch because 12 weeks of training is probably the best thing for a person just getting into the industry. Talked to "Tammy" the recruiter today, their basically waiting for me to graduate and are getting my application pushed through to the next step. I also like how they helped with the TWIC Card, and Hazmat endorsement. So many great things About this company then the others that I called about. I'm Stoked, and can't wait to graduate!!!!
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Well guys Something on my MVR has come up and it might possibly cost me a chance to get into PRIME INC. The recruiter called me today asking about the incident that is just about 3 years old. Long story short, I just didn't give the cop my License when he threatened to pepper spray me for going 33 in a 25 @ 1am in my home town. Young, and Dumb I was but I know when I'm being harassed so I stuck up for myself. Guess that was the worst thing to possibly do because it's coming back to haunt me, maybe. Although the recruiter said she would call me back about it she never did so hopefully they are letting it fall through the cracks, because I don't have any accidents, felonies, or misdemeanors.


    Guess what I'm trying to say is what is there any other company's out there that are just as good as PRIME Inc. to join up on if this hit's the fan. Remember i'll be just getting out of school so I'm looking for a company that hires students for training/OTR.
