    do I? I don't want to be hanging out in the truck in the trainer's driveway while he gets to be with the fam. Further I was initially told it would be 3-5 weeks... Thoughts?

    I would call prime, but just like every other training company, it depends if you get a trainer from your area........if not most better companies will put you up in a motel.

    So you're saying training time has jumped from 3-5 weeks to 3-4 months ? Need to clarify with recruiter Prime's policy on training. Actually, hanging out in the truck in the trainers driveway is far better than in his house with dogs, kids etc. They may knight you "Uncle Billy" and want you to do things with them !
