    I wasn't totally sure on that since I haven't looked to see how much I paid my trainee this week lol.

    Well regarding PTL, they require you to have 6 months experience in the past 3 years to be eligible for their refresher which I don't really see the logic behind that.

    Quick question. I saw where Prime requires a fee of like $150 up front on pretty much the first day. Is that only for people who are going through their training to obtain a CDL? Or is that for all drivers, CDL or not, going through PSD program.

    A $100 of that everyone needs as it is basically admin fees, the $50 is for PSD's who get their permit at Prime.

    Do you have to pay cash right then and there, or can you have them take it out of your check? I'm asking because I'm very tight on money at the moment.

    Any one have any info on a company called CT Transportation? Their website said they offer paid training for new drivers and such but doesn't go into any detail really.
