Need a little insight

I'd pick Navajo over SRT. Solo drivers with Navajo can run coast to coast and SRT prefers the teams do that. Teams at SRT get some good runs.

 

Yes. USA has many accounts that can keep you moving; soft drink and beer accounts. Many of those are drop & hook.
The Knight drivers I've talked to in the dry van national fleet liked it. I talked to several when I would be at a shipper or receiver.
SRT is refrigerated, so can get into some aggravating situations with cold storage or other refrigerated warehouses, such as long wait times. I pulled reefers for years and must admit I liked it though; running hard keeping the tight appointment times.

 

They do reefers not dry vans at Prime. They have flatbed along with tankers. I know you can do training on a flatbed truck so I'm guessing tankers as well?. I got licensed through them in 08.

 

Just starting out speed should be your last concern man. Learn how to drive, backup, and everything else first. It's easier to Drive a slow truck all day and let everyone pass you versus you having to constantly be passing people all day long.

 

Its good for their business otherwise they would change it but not so good for the drivers I imagine.

 

USA Truck is not governed at 55mph. Even Schneider & JB Hunt gave that up years ago. USA is somewhere around 65 mph like most trucking companies.
