    Sure you can ask,

    but most new drivers are gone within 2- 6 months.

    Gone from the forum, and gone from trucking.

    Poacher was here 3 months ago, maybe he will reply.

    Good Luck

    I'm still at Prime. It's been good to me so far.
    I will say that I did end up going reefer. Where I live it was going to be hard getting home on the tanker side.
    I've been here a year now and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. They have lived up to everything they told me they would. I work hard for them and they keep me rolling.
    I did a short lease, 6 months. Just completed that last Monday. I'm taking two weeks off between leases. Looking to go pickup my next truck around the 12th of Sept then head back out.
    The training was good, but I had a great trainer. It's all in who you get as a trainer. I've heard great stories, bad stories and everything in between.
    I still think Prime is one of the better places to start. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing.
