    About 13 years ago I talked to a gal that drove for them and did mostly west cost produce loads. They must have changed. What do the dots represent?

    Dunno what the dots mean. That's just a graphic from an email I was sent. I'd guess drop yards but it dunno for sure.

    Here is what I got from a recruiter, finally. Only took 3 days, been waiting since the 18th to hear on the rest of my questions I asked them and was told they would get back shortly, I won't name whom it was but I'm not too thrilled with them atm.

    One of the trainers lives in Las Vegas. Can't remember his screen name. They hire from most everywhere, but there are a few dead zones they don't hire from.

    The entire CDL program is 7-8 Weeks. 1 Week in the class room, then 4 weeks on the range and road. Then 3 days orientation. Then OTR with trainer for two weeks.

    OTR training pays at least $500 per weak or .15 cpm on ALL miles driven (including trainer's)

    I will call my recruiter tomorrow and see if I can just share the contents of her email to me here on TTR.
    There is a confidentiality clause in the footer of her email, so I'm not comfortable just copying and pasting it's contents.

    I hope that answers at least a few questions for now.

    Mike2522 has posted much of what the recruiter sent me. Apparently your mileage may vary. I've called and emailed my recruiter a couple times in the past 2 months or so and have always received good info in a timely manner. Go figure.

    Thanks for the info

    After you obtain your CDL what is the length of the training phase on the road living with another driver before you get cut loose with your own truck?

    Thanks Bean Dip
    Sorry didn't see you all ready posted a reply.

    I liked Prime just can't stomach the thought of up to 3 months in a truck with someone else,

    They started out answering me fairly quickly, generally within a couple hours, now its days. Perhaps they're just very busy, but who knows. I guess I should read the fine print in the bottom of the emails from now on LOL, since tommy has the info I'll remove that portion. But it does explain why info on the school is very hard to come by though, wonder why its "confidential".

    I believe it is 2 weeks, as BeanDip stated, but it may vary on how well you do, I don't think there is a fixed mileage you have to complete like other companies have.
    I looked into Prime as well, but like you didn't want to spend so long with someone I didn't know in such tight quarters. Luckily Henderson might as well be Prime since they pull a lot of their trailers.
