    Good Gawd man!!!! There are all kinds of threads on that company you mentioned..Some good.Some bad. Personally I would search both genre of threads on that company and start sending P.M.'s to folks on both sides of that company's fence. Then make a decision and the rest is up to you....

    Really.I strongly suggest you send PM's out there to folks on BOTH sides of the ledger..It's amazing what peeps wont post on an open forum.May open your eyes just a bit.
    This forum has the P.M. tool available..Use it!!!!!!

    What he said is true, I bite my tongue, or ah, fingers, all the time on this forum. But in a P.M I will tell you what I really think. Sometimes you just don't feel like fighting.

    Go to the motor carriers the inside scoop section and click on Prime. There's people that post what their experience is like going through Prime's school and training. I've thought about going that route myself but I can financially pay for school out of pocket on my own at a tech college in WI if I decide to go that route. I just need to find a reasonably priced place to stay in one of the cities for the 8 or 10 weeks.
