    On the Prime side it is reefer, about 50-50 drop and hook and live, on the Tennant side it is dry-van and 95% drop and hook, Tennant also has flatbed but I do not know to much about that side.
    If anyone lies to you or even if you have a problem speak to your supervisor and if it does not get solved take it to Nelson and it will be solved.

    In my 2 1/2 years at Prime pulling reefer I have only gone to one place that required steel toe shoes and that was Only if you were going to be on the dock. I think only our flatbed and tanker require steel toe shoes. However working for Henderson you will only pull out reefer trailers.

    Victoria at Henderson said they were reefer and flatbed the reefer was 100% drop and hook. I don't like being lied to. Not a deal breaker but that's strike 1

    They may started doing flatbed but I personally have never seen one of their trucks setup to pull flatbed.

    Was told you need at least a year experience to switch to flatbed and they will train if you already drive for them

    Yes, I am.
    The reefer being 100% drop and hook? Yea... No... Some drop and hooks and most are live load/unload.
