    During the first year, they are very expensive. IIRC, depending on the plan level you choose, the weekly premiums for full family start above $150 and can exceed $200. The premiums decrease greatly after 12 months of employment. This was covered during my orientation week but I don't have the exact numbers as I am not going to be using Prime's insurance.

    Stop by your local dmv and they will have the CDL manual. Your permit will transfer to MO jut fine.

    You should be able to transfer the permit. Some states make you take medical to get the permit. If they do you might wait as the physical would be out of pocket and Prime covers it when you get here. You will have to get the Prime physical even if you got it at home.

    I can tell you that after you pick up the book or download the PDF of the book that you need to pass General Knowledge, Air Brakes, Combination Vehicles, and Tankers - yes tankers even tho you may not be wanting to drive tanker you will still need it.

    Here is a link to the CDL manual for all states Prime hires from. Also don't forget to review road signs.
