    So I spoke with my recruiter at prime and she told me a few things of some importance.... One Prime trucks have APUs and inverters. Two they do own Earl and if you want to move from to the other it takes a 30 day notice. Three Prime trucks are governed 62 mph and company trucks are at 65. So now I'm back to square one again smh

    Why wouldn't you just go with Prime?
    What don't you like about them?

    If you have no major preference I would go with the main company versus a sister company.
    More resources and support and probably a much better terminal to visit and use.

    I was at a company that became a Sister company.
    All the good equipment and lanes went to big sister.

    If a recruiter told you they owned earl Henderson trucking she flat out lied to you, look it up Henderson owns themselves and run their own authority they simply have a contract to pull prime freight on prime trailers

    I'd rather have Earl Henderson on my truck than prime.
    If you choose prime just leave the cb off.
    They get ridiculed all day long
