    Thank you so much guys for your insight on my situation. I've been a lurker on this site for quite a while, and so many people here have opened my eyes to what it's like in a truckers world.

    So with that, I guess I'll go with Prime, because I believe that getting into the down and dirty of this business with one of the mega-carriers is the best way for me to learn if I'm cut out for this or not. And I hope that I am.

    Wow not cool.
    Getting hazmat is a process and took me a month just waiting for the TSA background check to come back so I could take the test. I also had to pay for the fingerprints and background check again. Why make sarcastic childish comments when you don't even have a clue what you're talking about! That is less than helpful.

    Just a heads up.

    I know good point, just getting sick of seeing people say stuff that isn't exactly helpful or needed which is funny because I have now placed myself in this category.

    I know - it's a tough row to hoe sometimes.

    I use the rule " Would I say what I wrote to this jokers face?"

    And then post and get banned accordingly.

    Be nice kids.

    So thats my problem on other forums - I do say what I would if face to face - just usually with more words tho ;)

    I agree, sometimes you just gotta call it like you see it and let the chips fall where they may.

    I just went through the Prime PSD and I'm almost done with TNT. State of MO requires that you take everything all over. Your permit will not transfer. But on the upside when U go to MO to take the permit test again, you get to take each part of the test twice a day (if you don't pass the first time). And you don't need to pass General Knowledge first to take the others.
