Prime PSD or Private School?

Recently I enrolled in Roadmaster's training program but for some reasons decided to leave. (If you want to get into that here's the story: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/threads/roadmaster-indy.288631/ )

Prime is my first choice for various reasons and upon graduation I planned on attending orientation in Springfield.
I've talked with another school in the area and I can start training there on Monday, 7/6. Out of pocket for $4k, and I'll go to Prime upon graduation.
Or I can keep my original orientation date, 7/13, and get my CDL and training through the 1-year contract.

I'm debating which would be the better choice and I'm really leaning towards letting Prime pay for my training. My ultimate goal is to get the best training possible, so in your guys' "expert" opinions, would attending a private school benefit me at all on top of Prime's training?
Any insight from someone who knows the industry would help me out greatly.

I already have my permit, tanker, and doubles/triples.

 

Broshears, I've read through your posts about getting started with Prime and I'm currently in the same boat as far as employment verification. Faxing my W2s to my recruiter tomorrow and I should be golden.

I feel like I've done enough research on Prime that I'm confident I'll be happy there for at least a year so the contract doesn't really scare me, and even if I were to break the contract the buyout is $3,600 if I'm not mistaken. That's $400 less than the tuition of the school I would be going to.
The only thing that worries me is some benefit to a private school I might not realize. For instance after 5 years or however long with Prime, will I be less likely to be hired by another company if I went through Prime's training instead of a private school?

 

Thanks. I've decided to go with their company training. I'll be headed to Sprimo on the 13th if I can get a spot in orientation. If not I'll be there on the 20th.
