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

Yes, you can... That is a good thing to do...but keep in mind that your job is on the road and as a team driver you will be all over the 48 states..like I said if you team up with a good driver that also lives in springfield mo..than it will work out just great..

enjoy the ride..
