Questions About Prime
Topic 4749 | Page 1
Well for starters I was going to go to MTC Trucking school in Hazelwood, MO but I read awful reviews. Can anyone tell me if there a good school or not? Second I did some shopping around for free cdl training. I found so far that Prime seems to be the best. I read great reviews on here . SO with that being said I called up talk to someone got them all the info they needed im waiting for a call back tomorrow. So went to dmv week earlier studied and got my class A permit in ny. So my question is will they honor my permit from ny ?
Yes they will.

RUN WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE CHANCE!!!...just kidding 
Joshua, there's so many tips we can give you that it'll overload the website. Those recruiters can really mislead you in many ways. So if it sounds too good to be true than it probably is.
If you want, you can send me a private message and I'll give you my # so I can go over all of the details with you. I work for Prime and was an instructor/trainer here so I think I know more than a recruiter who has never been inside a truck. I'll give you the inside scoop - and these tips that you're looking for.
