hello I'm new to this forum. Don't have my cdl yet looking at company sponsored training. Was active duty army for 3 years and now national guard. I had 2 deployments one to Afghanistan, another to Guantanamo bay. Currently looking at prime inc, and Jim Palmer trucking.

 

I'm currently in Sacramento, CA. I like The fullsize truck instead of the lightweight that prime offers. I understand that if I went to Jim Palmer I'll be make a couple cents less then prime. I also talked to both recruiters at prime and Jim Palmer and they said since I have monthly drills for the military that they'll get me home for those drills but that would be considered my home time.

 

I would totally agree. I've been trying to read more about Jim Palmer but intimation is limited. Tons of info about prime but on here not to much updated info about Jim Palmer. Many I would like to know how consistent their miles are. I heard between 2500-3000 miles but idk reliable that info is.

 

Thanks everyone. I'm new to this trucking scene. I'm married with a daughter so I know it'll be a sacrifice but pay off in the long run, and I understand I got to start somewhere, from the bottom just like the military.
