Need some reassuring

Yea you will run out of Chicago. Give it a few months to learn rail yards. As well as Jb hunts system. You will be on the east board so you will get a lot of Cincinnati to Chicago...Chicago to Lexington ky Louisville area back to Chicago. Mostly drop and hooks. You will see Owensboro ky and Evansville Indiana a lot .... Columbus.. Won't go past Columbus much.. Southern half of Michigan... All of Indiana north half of Illinois and Milwaukee to Green Bay Once and great while. If west board gets backed up you may deadhead out to Cedar Rapids and come back with a loaded box. All loaded boxes Come of rail in Chicago. Go delv. Then you pick up and take load back to rail. Chicago rush hour gets gay but you will learn side streets to the next rail yard etc. get maps to every rail yard to learn them. Terminal in Chicago so ever run out of hours your safe. It's right on rail property

 

Yep. They have a thing called eta (estimated time available) they will send your next load based off your eta. I already ran 5am-7pm. Every day. For 2 years.

 

Just tell Prime you are putting in 2 week notice and will be working for another company that will get you home on weekends. Let them know you would like to return if it doesn't work out at other job. Companies understand drivers want to be home. Leave with a 2 week notice and good driving record and let the people who do the hiring know you like your job at Prime. So they will rehire you.

 

One thing I can tell you is I haven't seen them do bait and switch. If they tell you regional, than you'll get it. Why not go local?

 

There was never even a choice at my orientation for me so not sayin it doesn't happen but I wonder how it even comes about for those that it's happened too other then trying to get into one of the really busy accounts. I went regional cuz in my area local is about 1g a week. That's just about what I was making at my previous job except it was a small company so expensive beni's and no 401

 

They hired me for a dcs account and didn't switch me

 

GOOD TO HEAR! Lol
