    People crack on Prime all the time,
    But I have to say that Prime is a good place to start that also provides training.

    I also live in NC and am making a mid life career correction. Check with NC Works, formrly the ESC, and ask about the WIOA program. They are paying 100% of my school cost and even reimburse you .51 per mile, up to a maximum of $81 per week, in travel expense. My school provides an excellent job placement program even if you have a little wobbly past as I do.

    ^^ That looks like something an autonomous truck would do if there was a detour or something. And then some say we're not paid enough for the wonderful job we do, and that new drivers should be paid more right out of the gate. (I asssume that was not an "experienced" driver)

    I think Millis has really good training and a really good company. Better home time of you want it or just flat out run for even more miles.

    Worst thing about Prime is the agonizingly slow trucks. If one can tolerate that, chances are they'll do well there.

    To give at least a modicum of credit where it may be due, I have seen a lot more drivers for Swift here that are happy working for them than I have seen working for PAM.
