    You can join the navy then use their education benefits to pay for cdl school. US Army has a 88M program. You can get training and 4 years experience.

    I drove for prime and not as a rookie either, this was a few years ago (like 10 plus) and for a mega company they actually run a very good ship for newbies, I know some megas just pump and dump but prime made sure you knew how to drive and back before releasing you

    also they ran things like a small company even though they were a mega, I had an issue with my dispatcher so I wrote a professional email explaining my situation and issues to the prime corporate email and to my suprise the president of prime actually called me with the terminal manager a few days later to hear me out and took care of things that blew me away because even the company I’m at now wouldn’t do that in a million years

    again this was over a decade ago so not sure how things are but I would go there as a rookie if I had to choose a mega

    Many drivers could learn from this. You conversed instead confronted. They don't say you catch more bees with honey for no reason.
