I cant say if I would leave either company because I have never worked for them. That being said, if you're under contract, you should honor it. I won't tell you what to do, but it's a good thing that the training is long as it is especia5since you're pulling flatbed. Load securement is something that shouldn't be rushed. Also, you have to hone your driving skills. You may not get to secure every type of load in a month. During my training, I secured mostly lumber loads in the month with my trainer. After going out on my own, I learned quickly that there was still a lot to learn. Looking back, I wasn't ready. I thought I was, but no where close. I get that you think you're ready, but there is no such thing as too much training. I advise you to be patient and learn as much as possible. Impatience is the worst habit to develop in this industry.
dancecanyon, Truckermania and Lepton1 Thank this. -
Stick with Prime at least for half a year after going solo, better yet make it a year. Doors to better companies start opening after a year, six months and you are moving sideways. After two years most good companies will hire you. After three years almost all doors are open.
Whatever you do, don't be a job hopper, with a resume that shows you are a quitter. Developed the habit of making commitments.
To answer your OP, Melton and Prime are both training companies. I don't see much difference between them.Selva and HillbillyDeluxeTruck Thank this. -

I thought Prime Inc, was just given some award for being a good large carrier?

Seriously... you made the commitment. See it through. -
Especially the job hopping part. -
