    Agreed. I drive for Prime and love it. It's what you make of it. Good luck and welcome to the family. Even though the family is disfunctional.

    Oh I see the curb factor now. Was gonna say I know where and how they measure bridge height and build up etc and how that would be a tough one to work...but nevermind

    I think 3 weeks, then if everything goes well 6 weeks with trainer in his truck.

    one week then team with trainer for two weeks unless something has changed. It takes DMV that long to process so many CDL license's
