    I am also leaving the oilfield on the rig side. I am headed to Prime. After my research, it fits me better than most of the others offering training. And only 1 year commitment, then can move to better, brighter with no problems. Prime will also pay for a bus ticket to Springfield,MO for the training... Hope this helps! Good luck with whatever you decide!

    asking any of us is useless I made $67000 last year
    company paid all mine and wife's health care
    but I guess that isn't a living

    and yes it was OTR
    not all over the road requires being out weeks at a time

    Then go knock yourself out buddy. You're going to be tell me those are easily attainable numbers for a newer driver starting out with a company that specializes in cheap junk van/reefer freight? 67k is 40-50 hours per week pulling a tank.

    Maybe the OP doesn't want to earn 1990 wages while he "pays his dues."
