That sound's like gravy to me. Hell, I could stand for $600 a week compaired to my $100 or less a week now. Is that the right spelling for the site because it say's "error can't find site"
Edit: OK, I found it. Add an "s" to the end of driver for drivers

That Prime site is loaded with info. You may see the post number's to be low but you have to read the post's because they are packed with info directly 1-on-1 with instructors.

I filled out an application for prime a few days ago and got a call from a recruiter today. She said they have ran my report and will be calling me tomorrow, and if they don't call me than I need to call them on thursday.
I have done alot of research and would rather have good training and be safe than to be on my own in 4 weeks like alot of other companies. I don't mind being away from the home for long periods either . So to me Prime is the best choice for a newbie.
Hope to see some of you soon. -

paul i can give you a few names but really dont know if they are available would just have to ask but go to the site and ask dr zebra or ironpony i no they live in that area i would be willing but you need to know i live in lake placid ny and i would try to get you home when you need but you could be home longer then you like cause i would run home solo and need to get a load coming back towards you to pick you back up.no matter who you get most are very good but if you for some reason get a real winner dont wait to call and get a differnt one so many times i get a preson who trained somewhere else i ask what happened and then it starts i ask why did you stay on that trk im new i was afraid they would let me go if i say something who cares why would you want to work for a company like that anyway. also ask them (dr zebra )if hes not avalable if he knows who is he gets in that area alot .as for where will you run bring a camera you will run all 48 plus canada you;ll see sights that are mind blowing. and if you get real lucky you get to drive in nyc and la makes you just want to pull your hair out in nyc unless you learn to time it just right dont go in after5 am or before 11pm unless you have no choice .

to be honest most drivers here at prime run a minum 3 weeks out i run a little more somewhere around 26 days then home 4-5 days now when the freight gets going which is real soon out of cali i stay out longer the runs are longer in miles and the pay is better most of the time going east .so i stay out and take the money. i usaully run something like strat out from house pickup in st albains vt going to groveport ohio. springfeild ohio to salinas cal .bakersfeild cal to springfeild ohio. this how you start the back and froth run on dole loads you can do this all summer and fall if you get a good repor with your fleet manager,just be on time dont call whinny about everything and show them you;l run. my truck is a 2007 freightliner century class king condo .i have a frig /microwave/27 inch flat screen with direct tv satalite /twin bed on top bunk full size on bottom bunk apu to run heat and ac well shut down. am/fm cd/sirrus radio all the cumforts of home minus the wife which i found is a good thing lol my wife hates this truck she went one time with me never again . she works as a ceo in a office for majore medical company she likes her comfy chair lol

-
I'm glad I have someone who is supportive and doesn't mind tagging along, although she can't because she work's two jobs. Mechanic by day, bar tender by night. My kinda woman!
Those are hard to find. Thank's for the site Shortround. Very resourceful site.
