    So after calling around to a couple more companies and talking with them I've pulled the trigger on prime. It's 41 cpm for flatbed division. I was told $1,100 a week average with an average of 2,400 - 2,700 miles a week. Went and did some figuring and even on the low side 2,400 miles a week take home after takes is a little over 700 which isn't bad considering I'm making a couple hundred more every 2 weeks an working my ### off. Something else that intriguined me was that they have a midwest regional that I could get into later down the road.
    Now to start taking practice tests since I've been cover to cover twice of the cdl book. So that way I can try and get my permit before orientation. So I don't have to worry about getting it at orientation
