I would study for the permit but I don't think I would waste my time or money getting it until you get to orientation, there has been alot of con fusion lately with what states permits will transfer to missouri and wich ones won't I'd say it will just be easier to take the test when you get there rather than possibly wasting money on a permit they might not let you use .

All trucks have an apu and a 1500 watt cobra power inverter , yes you can have a fridge a microwave a tv , they prefer that you have their detail shop do the installs but it's not required just know if you drill any holes in the truck you will pay for it when you turn it in.
Light weight trucks are mostly company solo drivers , but you can get into a condo if you really just can't live in a light weight

Great! Awesome! Hope you get a good trainer. My trainer in 2008 with FFE in Dallas was a nightmare. Stick it out though unless the physically threaten you. Mine was fired halfway through for yelling at dispatch then gave me a great driver trainer after that

It's not about switching the cdl to work for prime , it's about switching your license and permit so that you can take the skills tests in missouri to get your cdl

yea I wonder why the recruiter is telling me they don't. I did go on line and fill out an application, was notified by JP recruiter telling me they don't. I would be nice if the recruiter would tell me the real reason behind why I am told that

I wonder if their recruiter is in or only familiar with their Missouri site? It's my understanding that they have CDL school at Missoula, MT location.

I hear good things about Jim Palmer and Wil Trans and wanted to find out more about them.
Here is what i know: They haul for Prime and follow their training program.
Today I talked to a recruiter and she told me that you either run midwest to west or midwest to east. Since I live in MA the latter would make sense for me but i would like to go west as well.

Pay plan seems good as well.

Any comments?

Jim palmer definitely doesn't, Wil-Trans could have an ocasional route to Florida. If it's for home time, you can live anywhere in the continental U.S. They will find you a load for your home time.
