    Prime called me today, and their offer is very competitive, plus would be tanker and get me HazMat, which is what I was looking for. I guess it's time to do some good research and make a decision...

    What kind of bus do you drive and what's so bad about it?

    With each company you will have good and bad. It depends on what fits u r personality and needs. I can tell you that for what I have been impressed with their terminals and how they have as much as they can for the Truckers at their terminals. I don't know anything about the owner operator side though.

    Congratulations what recruiter did u get.
    . I now may have to wait again grrr.
    First they didn't have room in the class until November this was in the beginning of October.
    Then i got postponed til Dec 16 due to medication is not allowed on the truck...now maybe 19th cuz of the holiday
    However I now have my permit and I got to spend time with my parents that i haven't seen in 2.5 yrs.
    Why am i telling u all of this is cuz i didn't give up.
    everything happens for a reason.

    Recruiter is Cindy P. She's been great. This is actually my second attempt at an OTR career. If you go back and look at my post history, I took all the tests 2 years ago when I was getting ready to move to Michigan. I've spent a year and a half here in TC driving bus, and am ready for a change.

    That sounds great. Did they bug u about who got u interested. They don't have the typical referral policy just so u know.
    I wish i could meet up with you b4 u get going but I will be on the road when u r starting but u never know.

    I don't recall her asking about being referred. Since you will be just ahead of me, I'll look forward to hearing your reports...

    Absolutely no problem. I can send u my text to keep u in touch.
    if anyone doesn't have their permit it is easier to have it b4 you go.
    i might be wrong but for what i have been reading. You get .01 per mile for the lifetime of the person that u referred. That is approximately 25. A week for the average.
