    Prime pay is pretty good for new drivers at Prime.
    @dave01282000 started there and might give some information.

    One guy in Henderson went with Roehl Transport cdl training. I think flatbed is what they offer here. He likes it, but hasn't posted in a long time.

    All trucking companies do drug tests. Could be urine or hair test or both.

    Stevens Transport is also a reefer outfit. Probably send you to cdl school in Colorado; Pueblo or Denver area. Most new students go to Denver.

    okay ill check it out
    Do you think.its better to do the Nevada program or just go through a Mega, and do I need my permit first? I have been studying for it. I just heard horror stories of company paid cdl then them kicking them out to charge them thousands...gonna have to take you two to Luna Risa for Italian after all this help and kindness...its our favorite Italian place at Lake Las Vegas

    Yeah, get the permit first. CDL schools require that.
    You can probably get rolling faster with a trucking company cdl school. They don't kick people out for no reason. If they kicked me out, I just wouldn't pay the balance anyway and nothing they could do about it.
    We don't go out at all because we have a child that requires 24/7 care.
