    What do you mean not the place for young drivers? Im a young driver... I run good, usually over 2500 miles a week. Paid 37cpm with less than a years an experience. They do have good equipment. I got a 2010 Cascadia. I know a lot of supertruckers hate the aero trucks, but its comfortable. I love being out here.

    There's no load being run or transferring over. This is during their CDL training portion--you actually test out for the driving portion, in Illinois. (from what I was told on the phone--and this wasn't a recruiter so she had no reason to lie.)

    Was this an actual driver for Prime, or someone else?

    I think she was probably some kind of "intake" (for lack of a better word) person, that would have then passed me off to a recruiter. I *know* she wasn't a recruiter because on their online application, it asks if you spoke with a recruiter and, thinking she was, I clicked "yes". It then produced a drop down list of their recruiters' names to select from, and hers wasn't on there...

    Ive spoken to drivers on the Prime thread who got a Missouri license, then transfered over after. Thats what everyone else does. Usually pretty easy.

    Ya need to read up on earlier posts. That can't be done for Illinois.

    I'm not arguing I know what I've seen done. Either way you're passing the tests at Prime. Then you and your trainer can go to Illinois so you can retake the tests. Upon passing you will receive an Illinois cdl after surrendering your

    Why would they go through the expense of testing twice instead of just taking them to IL for the test in the first place?

    Prime does its own testing. They want to test you themselves so they know you can do it
