    82nd Airborne,

    Hope to see you post how things go.

    If not, good luck regardless! May just possibly see you there if I can get personal things taken care of soon. If not, will be there by beginning of December at latest.

    Do yourself two favors... first, ignore advice from folks who aren't driving when considering things about driving. No disrespect, they just don't have a good base of knowledge to work from. Second save your money... third-party driving schools really don't offer anything more than what Prime does, except a large bill. You'll get more behind-the-wheel experience at Prime than you will at any driving school. Don't be afraid to ask for a different CDL instructor or trainer during your time in training, if you draw someone you have personal issues with or someone who isn't giving you the training experience you need.

    @ ironpony: Thank you for the info. I have have been following the Prime, inc. thread for a couple months now and I have recognized the few truckers that I will allow to be my mentor for any questions that i ask on this thread; you being one of them.

    I appreciate the clarification of going to a third-party CDL school vs. Prime, inc. CDL school also. Safe travels to you.
