    Some companies don't do another physical; they use the DOT physical you received for cdl school. They only do blood pressure and drug test.

    I think Prime is the best mega there is, good training, good starting pay, they surely have the freight, and good equipment. The trailers are top knotch, most of the time. Can't go wrong with 44 cents to drive their eco truck, if your not a big driver.

    Eco truck is lightweight so as to haul heavier loads. Small trucks and have to remove the passenger seat for sufficient space for personal items such as a cooler or small refrigerator. Some drivers spend their own money and install shelves or something over the bunk to store clothes. Probably doesn't bother new drivers since they've never driven a full size truck.

    Idk why they call it an eco truck. It's just a small ### truck, so small that they pay you more to drive it lol.
