    Friend of mine is considering Prime for CDL training into being a company driver...
    Was told yesterday by the recruiter that Prime does NOT put in you a motel during your training process and that that you mind find a place to stay during the process.

    Seems a bit odd to me they'd make a driver pay for a motels weeks on end.
    Is this true?

    Unless something has changed recently like within 2 months then I'd say that recruiter doesn't have a clue

    Unless the recruiter or your friend got confused about when a hotel is provided , the actual training is OTR with a trainer and they will not pay for you a hotel during that you will stay in the truck with the trainer , but anytime you are at springfield for longer than a night you can check into campus inn for free as long as you have a PSD badge campus inn is also where a new driver would spend their first week for orientation

    Free room & meals for orientation, & when he comes back in from PSD instruction to test out for CDL.

    Also, when he comes back in after TNT training to upgrade to his own truck.

    It's probably been clarified already ...

    Prime's training center IS at its own hotel.

    The Campus Inn.
