    Just go to their web site; it's on there. They, and Wil-Trans, haul for Prime, thus they have identical programs to Prime.

    yea I wonder why the recruiter is telling me they don't. I did go on line and fill out an application, was notified by JP recruiter telling me they don't. I would be nice if the recruiter would tell me the real reason behind why I am told that

    I have been looking to get into trucking, the companies I am looking at is Prime, Knight and CRST. Does anyone have any advice on those companies.

    Prime and Knight are definitely better than many. There are a ton of companies. Have a good Driving record? Arrest Record? If those are both good you have a lot of choices. Where do you live?

    Well, this being labeled a Jim Palmer/Wil-trans thread, maybe not so much but here's my 2 cents:

    I would not drive for CRST nor Knight. Go look at their threads and read the driver comments.

    I considered Prime but did not want one of their small trucks which is one reason I'm looking at Jim Palmer--same good training program, no dinky trucks. If I wanted to drive the East coast, I might consider Wil-trans.

    You might also ask @Chinatown for recommendations.

    Good luck!

    They definitely do. Myself and a few others on the forum on going through their program within the next few weeks. Who did you speak with? I can put you in contact with my recruiters direct line.
