Am I crazy? Considering Prime again

I have been off the road for ten years and I am really considering going back out. I was 3 years L/O with prime.
I am considering prime again because it is the only company i have experience with and i know how they operate. Have they changed much in ten years? I have been reading and it appears they train differently know. Does anyone know offhand how much time i would have to spend in someone else's truck before i went to A seat if any? I have been driving waste trucks ( WM)for the last 10 years.so its not the same but in many ways it is more difficult and dangerous. But i would expect to have to get back into the swing of things, Which probably would only take 3 days lol. I pull a pup trailer with a roll off truck quite a bit. ( I hate it) but i am the only employee that can legally pull it. Anyway, i just wanted to say hey to all the Prime people out there. And if any one can give me an idea of what i am looking at that would be great.

 

Desert skies, there are many things in the matrix i can't figure out why people do them. I won't go on about them here. But this is what I do know. It takes all kinds of kinds. And everyone had to start somewhere. Why would there be guys still at prime after many lease completions if it didn't work. I will also say this. It took me 6 years in my current job to make the money i was at prime. I now make more. Which is the scary part. I make almost 60,000 a year driving a trash truck in the rolling hills of kansas. that is straight pay not counting benefits. Add those in and I am at 68k for 48 hours a week average. The bad, i work my butt off in the elements. And I am not talking a few minutes outside i am talking a 8 to 14 hours a day outside in it. I got off the road for my family, most of my kids are grown and i am divorced now. The road is calling.

 

The pup trailer i pull is ancient and i have to manually tarp the box and load the box from truck to the trailer. Also the truck I use to pull it has no guts. The holds will drop me to 40. Hooking it up can take 6 or 7 tries. Its just a Pindle hook( a loop) on the tongue on the trailer and a hitch peg on the truck. Then getting it unhooked can be a pain as well to get the pressure of the pin off the hook. We aren't talking 5th wheel stuff here

 

Hills*^not holes.

 

And I can't see why anyone would even want to run 80 unless the just love padding big daddy oil pockets. Even in my pov i am doing 60-65
