    There can be home time involved for both trainer and trainee, and in most cases you keep the same trainer. It depends on the circumstances. I was with the same guy all the way through. I know of others who had say three trainers. It just depends.

    Average miles for me when I was on the company side was around 2700-2800 per week, but could go over 3000 depending on your trips, shipper/receiver appointments, etc. I suppose $700 - $800 after taxes is a fair estimate, but it could certainly go over $1000. It also is going to depend on where you are in the seasonal freight cycle.

    Not really. There are quite a few advantages to be gained via CDL training at Prime. The best example of that I can give you is much more time behind the wheel with 1-on-1 instruction than you will ever get at any school.
