Ive picked up out of Daytona Beach... 2 miles from the speedway.

 

we live in Melbourne, about 2 hours south of daytona, I am hoping he gets fl runs so he can come home every now and then, his trainer being fr TN I am afraid will make it difficult for him.

 

Reefer goes down that way more tha I do.

 

That's not going to be a problem. He just needs to understand how to schedule his hometime to make the system work for him. Give his FM 2 weeks notice, remind a week beforehand. A range of days is better than a specific date, although they'll do their darnedest to make it work for a given day. If you need to be home on Saturday, shoot for a Thursday arrival, etc.

 

I am considering Prime CDL school and as I was reading on the company website, I noticed that you have to become a lease operator after schooling? Is this right, or am I misunderstanding the language on the web page? I don't want to be a lease op, just a company driver. In a year or so, my wife will be getting her CDL so that we can become team drivers. I am going to school first, so that when she comes onboard, I can train her.
If I have to become a lease op, I guess I will scratch prime off of my list. Any info is appreciated!

 

No one is required to be a lease operator. You can run on the company side for as long as you like.

 

*SCREAMS* loudly

 

Nope, u can run company, no problems there.

 

Hey Avi8er, I am going to be moving to Denver in JUly and applying with Prime. Do the company lightweight trucks have an compartment where you can fit your refrigerator in or do I have to improvise and adapt? Im a former Marine as yourself! I served from 94-98. Semper Fi and I hope to chat with you more, George

 

Improvise and adapt Marine... pull the passenger seat, have the detail shop mount the fridge there. A lot of folks bungee a microwave on top of that. Most of the lightweights have enough headroom to stand up in (unless you're Michael Jordan-sized,) but storage needs some creativity.

We have a drop yard and dispatch office in Denver at W 64th Ave and N. Pecos - across from the Navajo terminal.
