Drove for Prime for two years before coming off the road to help care for my father. Looking to get back on the road.

Howdy yall. I was wondering if anyone on the forum was knowledgeable about TMC's orientation and training for experienced driver's? I combed the forums and couldn't find a lot recently posted.
Sadly my recruiter is either brand new or not very knowledgeable. I was told however that pay for orientation was 1000 but wasn't told whether that was weekly or for the full orientation. Also any other advice and insights about what to expect would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Prime TNT - Reefer
I went through Prime's PSD and TNT back when the mileage requirement was 50,000. It can be taxing mentally.
My first trainer basically lived at the SLC terminal and loved downtime. Two months in and I only had 20,000 miles. It was basically going to take 5 months in the TNT phase at that rate.
I requested a new trainer and we busted out the 30,000 in a little under 4 weeks.
Prime has a very strenuous training program. It's tough but the fact that you got through says a lot and your a lot stronger than what you think. If you left on good terms with Prime I would imagine they would take you back. They're are way worse companies to work for than Prime. I enjoyed my time there. Best of Luck
