Well right now we live in ks but we have to save up money to move our mobile to Springfield mo

I work for Prime..I have been with them since Nov. 2012 from Nov. to April of this year..I was only a PSD and a second seat driver..Plus you have to keep in mind on the trainer that you might get..some are good and they will help through..but others..are like sharks..talk with the trainer ask questions..feel them out..is best to get one who lives near you are in the same state.. I live in NYC and my trainer lives in Chicago..so home time was a bit of a challenge..But..the most important thing is are you ready for this? This is a life changing event you won't be home till you make it to the end.. And that's being a solo driver and once you but in a month of work in than you can ask your feet manager about home time..it's best to work 4 weeks out and then take the 4 days off..they will work with you..I am looking forward to my home time.. Well good luck and welcome to Prime...

They told me that i can get teamed up after my training is over with. Is that true? My wife knows that i'm going to do this and after we get enough money saved up i'm going send for them to come to Springfield mo to be closer to me

will do everyone and thanks

Well i'm not going to their school i'm skipping that and go straight to the ordination /training then i'll be driving with a training for a while then i'll be teaming up with someone

Haha..that IS their school...you'll do 4 days of orientation during which you will be required to test for your permit, if you don't already have it, then you go out with an instructor for 10,000 miles..that should take about 2-3 weeks..then you come back to the terminal and test out for your CDL A...if/when you pass, then you head back out with a trainer for 30,000 miles which should take you about 8-10 weeks..once you get the go ahead from your trainer, your on your own..

I ALREADY HAVE MY CDL PERMIT. All i have to do is my orientation which it does not count for my permit

cuz i already have it so i don't need to go to their school

Yap, Roadkill is right - we get a ton of people that come through here and go with Prime. They're an excellent company. They have nice equipment, plenty of miles available, and a variety of different divisions to choose from once you get a little experience. They also have about the highest starting pay for inexperienced drivers in the industry.

Roadkill is also right that their program is very fast paced. Actually, any of the Company-Sponsored Training Programs are.

Before you begin your schooling, whether it be Private Truck Driving Schools or Company-Sponsored Training Programs, make sure you go through our entire High Road Training Program and our Trucker's Career Guide.

The training program has the CDL manual built in and it will prepare you for your CDL permit exam, your endorsement exams, and the beginning of your schooling. The career guide covers about every topic imaginable that pertains to getting started in the trucking industry and it's full of critical information.
