Should've hit springmo by now I imagine, how's the accommodations? I've always been super jealous of the trainees at prime because the hotel and food was so good compared to what I had to go through to get my CDL. But then there's loads of guys complaining about it.

We checked in, picked roomies, or were assigned roomies. Did our paper applications, and had the rest of the day to chill by 3.
Our room was swealtering because the heater was turned up to 90. But it was clean and neat. They gave us a pick between ham and turkey hogies. I'm happy. That's more than most companies would do.redoctober83 and n3ss Thank this. -
Wow, a load of brick.
Covered up the hole with some gorilla tape. Wasn't really expecting it to stay on in the cold and the wind, but it did. -
Now that I think of it, the first day or two of orientation is pretty fast paced and the people who handled my first drug test screwed up and forced me to wait an extra week to start training. They yanked me and one other guy out of a class to get retested, initially making us think we screwed up somehow. Overall a good experience though, plus they reimbursed me for the ~1000 mile drive.Last edited: Feb 11, 2017

These are really soft and inadequate for protection on hard edges. I wouldn't pay for them...

Hey Prime board. Researching which company to start my CDL career with... Heard a lot of good things about Prime.
The Major bonus for me is that i now found out that Prime takes new drivers into the Flatbed division.
I really think i would greatly enjoy the extra challenges and work of straping, chaining, and tarping! Being that im a contractor now, i really dont shy away from hard work...
I do have a question, For each of the Company and L/O, O/O about hometime. Say about a year after training is complete, what does hometime look like? Any chance of being home weekends?
My 2nd question is are there any main terminals in the Chicago, North of Chicago, maybe even Rockford area?
Appreciate all the input and advice guys...
As many good things as i have heard about prime... the one negative that keeps coming up is hometime....
