    Living in Cincinnasti area and finally got cleared by my back Dr to return to the road, was looking at couple other companies and have decided against them.
    Any advice? Pro's and Con's

    How much experience do you have? Are you looking for flatbed, reefer, or food grade tanks? I know of a company with a yard in cincy looking for drivers and pays very well.

    You got it backwards. You tell us why Prime and then we tell you why not. :)

    Pros: if you don't have any experience, they'll give it to you. Options to get out of a box.

    Cons: pretty much everything else.

    Why?

    Because 57 mph feels fast compared to walking at a brisk pace.
    Because you like sitting at cold storage facilities.
    Because you are punishing yourself for past mistakes.
    Because you have to see plastic fairings breaking to truly appreciate it.
    Because you have no other options.

    Went through Millis Training School in 2015, completed class room portion but got on the road with trainer and had a previous Firefighting injury flare, and sidelined me, and was unable to get CDL, I have gone through PT and gotten clearance from them to return to road.

    Ok honestly Prime is better than Swift, CRE, and Schneider. The company drivers I’ve talked with in person don’t hate it. The equipment is new and well maintained. So those are positives..
