    There's good chance I'll find myself looking for hometime in Maine. Not often, 4-5 times a year maybe. Which of the medium to large training carriers get up that way fairly often? Thanks!:biggrin_25514:

    Prime... <cough> , <gag>, <barf>...Stop swearing there are mechanics in here.. they might get offended ...lol... Come on, those guys are not even worthey of mention.. try again... If your from Maine have you looked at Dysarts? Currier? McCaines, RTS used to have a tanker division if my memory serves me correctly?
    You could also look into JB Hunt they used to haul water out of Poland Springs.. same for Snyder <spelling??? Just to mention a few...

    Sunbury had a American Division once upon a time but may have closed that?? not sure?? Do some digging.. But if you live in ME. why would you want to get home so little??? Sounds pretty crappy to be in a truck that long, no life there.. But, Prime... do a search.. you'll see OOIDA has sued them numerous times for leasing violations in their O/O lease purchase program over the years.. I'd run away from them as fast as I could!

    I see a ton of Midland trucks up there but I don't know if they are a training carrier.

    Midland doesn't have a US division that I've noticed... They're a Canadian carrier. See a lot of 'em here coming down 81 and across 80 & 90.

    As is shown in his info, Oldnew.. is from Miss. His post was that he might want to take home time once in a while in ME.

    As for Prime, I've got a friend whose brother drives for Prime, and he's perfectly content. But he will warn you off their leasing deal. Have to ask, have you driven for Prime?
