    Hey guys. Any Prime drivers live in Va? More specifically the Hampton Roads or Middle Peninsula areas? If so, is there much freight that comes thru here? I have seen a few trucks drive by, but not alot. Was just wondering how often you get to come home. Also, what terminal are you based out of. Thanks

    There are a few jobs locally, but I don't have my cdl yet. I went to school for a few classes and it wasn't a good experience with that particular school. I am looking at Prime because of the 1 on 1 training for the cdl. Hampton Roads driving isn't so bad if you know ways to get around it:biggrin_25519:

    We deliver at the MDV warehouse, pick up at a cold storage on the west side. There is Smithfield, Busch, Lumber Liquidators- to mention a few- further up the peninsula, and we have places up in the tidewater area as well. You won't have a problem getting hometime when you want it.

    That sounds like a winner. When do benefits start such as insurance?

    It used to be 90 days for new drivers. Annual free change period is May, but you can add or drop dental anytime.
