    Thanks!!! I’m pretty sure it will work out but if not I’m sure there’s other companies with terminals close to where I live in Springfield.

    I’d just need help finding one if Prime didn’t work out. I just moved to Missouri to live with my parents so I’m hoping Prime works out but if it doesn’t I’d need help finding another mega carrier that would work.

    Look up a lady named Kearsie when you are in Springfield. She has been a driver with Prime for 5 years. She is always willing to help new students and drivers. Everyone in Springfield knows who she is. She knows her stuff, and knows how to make money. She will gladly share her experience with you!

    @Chinatown helped me out almost two years ago when I was entering the business, think he has a big friggin’ book with every trucking company there is in it; mega carriers aren’t hard to find though and they have terminals all over the place, such as Western Express and their terminal in Nashville that I took a greyhound to

    Oh! That's close kind of to Springfield! Knight transportation also has a terminal in Lebanon. So there's lots of options out there, i'd just need to get my CDL Permit transferred again. So i'm praying Prime works out so I don't have to do it again.

    The problem with smoking is if you burn the plastic? There will be hell to pay when you turn in the truck. They have to detail the truck when you get done with it. Those burns will be a cost out of your pocket from the company

    Yeah but don’t fall head over heels for Western, it’s a second rate company and it’s for people who need another chance, but that chance comes at a cost (bad pay, equipment, overall bs from the little time I’ve been here, but that could be anywhere I suppose, etc).
     
    G13Tomcat Thanks this.

    Yeah, that's why Swift-Knight or Prime are my top choices. And they both have reefer division which is what i'm wanting to do.
