Sclose, Thank you! You took it upon yourself to look through the resources here (I hope including at least the High Road Training Program!) and came to a decision. There are so many people on their first post ask "What's the best company for a new guy living in Houston, Texas?" We do answer these questions, but to me, it's even better if someone looks for things themselves, then asks questions to get the details they need.
Be sure to keep us posted on your Prime training in the CDL Training Diaries Forum!
