    Like I said that was the last I knew. Apparently had changed.

    I picked up a load at McCain in Burley once where I was there four hours early and the other drivers who were there checking in at the time were all late. They gave me a door immediately.

    i really had to work hard not to smirk as I went back out to my truck.

    Bad place to be late at... you get loaded last, after everyone else including Marten and CRE.

    Have a couple of questions for anyone to answer. Looking at going to prime. Talked to a recruiter and he told me first trip out could be 90 days straight. Said it would be a hassle to try and get hoe time during training. The other thing he said was that it wouldn't speed up the process to get my class A before going. Would still need to go through the 3 week training like needing to test out and get my class A, along with the draw. Also looking at opinions as to what is the busiest division to work in. Not that i am picky or anything.

    I have been with Prime 2+ years, Flatbed, 1 year company the rest lease. I never went home during training even tho I was given the option to. The harder you work and more time you spend on the road the faster you get your own truck and make better money. From the drivers I have talked to Flatbed gets more miles and the pay is a little better. I did get my class A before going and it did speed up my training time but if you add school time is took longer.

    I'm sure I've read the answer somewhere on TTR and I don't want to irritate the folks that run the Prime Twitter account with more questions just yet, so I'll ask here.

    After a visit to the orthopedic doc yesterday to evaluate a painful left knee, I have some, let's call them 'joyful,' visits to a physical therapist in my future. Does Prime have automatics on the lease side?

    Wouldn't count on it, unless they let you order a truck, highly unlikely on first lease.

    That would be the training pay rate for a C-seat. I am assuming you have a fresh CDL from a school? You aren't going through the PSD, just jumping directly into TNT.
