    I've been at both. It depends on what flavor of BS you're willing to put up with. Each has its own brand.

    Ther person to ask about Prime would be Injun or U2. As far as training; both train nearly same way. Prime does have more training time (approximately six months) than Swift which is 240 hours. Prime runs smaller sleepers which are Pete 384 and Freightliner Cascadia Mid-roofs and have no passenger seat. Prime is also reefer. As Injun said it depends on what flavor you want.

    its 60k training miles... Its up to the trainee and the trainer on how fast they can get through it. While 6 months is possible if the trainer and the trainee take a lot of hometime, I find it a bit shorter than that.

    I got it done in about 4.5 months that includes the CDL school.

    1 month for the CDL instruction (10k mile credit) and 3.5 months to knock out the other 50k miles driving team miles
