All the negative posters please create your own posts and leave this post as an informative post. Thanks everyone.

    Wow your now ex bf sounds controlling and jealous.Good for you not leting him run your life.I know a trainer with Prime.Hes been there for a few yrs and I guess Prime is a real good company if you dont mind slow trks.But Prime has a new policy now they want the drivers to average 8 mpg.Which means around 55 mph on the hwy.Ask your recruiter about that.
     
    Lil Red Head Thanks this.

    Good to see you making progress. I have met a few female trainers in the last couple months, so you might be in luck. I would recommend you start your own thread with the female persective of getting started and going through the training. We have alot of men posting here and telling their stories, and yours would definitely be a welcome one.
     
    McBjork and Lil Red Head Thank this.

    I hear they have a 5 state regional flatbed division out of Texas? Also how long are they generally home on the weekends?
