    Thanks! They mentioned they reimburse at 10cpm or somewhere around there, which will be better than nothing at least.

    Just wanted to give an update on my experience at Prime so far..

    I spent the first week in orientation before being placed in a nights program, training 7pm to 7am from 3/6 to 3/14.

    The instructors who prepared us for the CDL exam did an awesome job in my opinion. I tested on the 15th day after getting my permit. I passed my pretrip, backing and driving skills tests on 3/16 and had a TNT trainer by that evening.

    We're currently waiting on a load out of Springfield to head Northeast.

    So far everyone at Prime has been pleasant to deal with and I have enjoyed the experience.

    I cannot speak for the quality of the typical PSD training as I did the night training.. Although I believe this method cut at least a week or more off the time I would've spent on the road before coming back to test.

    So far, so good and I look forward to what the future holds.
