Husband has a question about how Prime's dispatching works. Do they give you assignments based on your NAT or do you send In a macro? Or do they just dispatch you by assuming how many hours you will have after you're done unloading and the time it takes to get there ?

Thank you all for your input. Sounds like Canada runs are very rare if any so that is good I don't mind going there just didnt want to deal with customs all the time. So far all my research has lead me to prime and these responses confirmed that it must be a good conpany. We will be looking into prime on Monday.

That's good. My husband's father told stories of driving in Mexico as a trucker but it was a long time ago, wasnt sure if we still did or not. I am definitely more comfortable with Canada
American Trucks do not cross the border into Mexico. Ever! Canada is a different story. Most Canadians are not prone to wanting to kill you and steal your truck or cargo!

I have done some research on the requirements for Prime and one of them is a passport. Do they force you to go to Canada or Mexico? Because that is something that neither one of us wants to do.

Husband is already a truck driver with 3 years experience, I have no experience and need to get my CDL. We are located in southern California. I'm hoping to go through a company paid training but I can go to an outside training school if needed. We also have a dog that we would like to bring with us on the truck so pet policy is a plus. Any suggestions on who to check out?

Another question, if we have to get tested for sleep apnea do we pay for it upfront or do they take it out of our paychecks?
