Welcome Zachary. We've got plenty of Prime drivers here. Use the search box on this website and you'll find a ton of Prime info. Just type in 'Prime.' There's a page detailing company info on Prime here.
Company-paid schooling is at their HQ in Springfield, MO.
Ok thank you I'm still learning this site vary help full
Here's a few links that should help you out. ..
Trucking Companies you should be able to find prime in that last link. .
The first is a direct link to their application.
Easiest thing is to fill the app out and call a recruiter once you summit it.
Do you already have your cdl? The do have a program to get it if you don't.
Also being in NH I'm not sure if they hire from there. Some companies have black out states or states they don't hire from. Usually Florida and the Northave East. Doesn't hurt to all apply.

Prime has a program for you to get your cdl. I think the only school they have currently is in Springfield,MO. They do transport you via greyhound or you can buy a plan ticket and get reimbursed up to the price of the bus.. (bus =150 and plan = 200, you get 150 back making plane ticket only 50.. )
Also, check out High Road Training Program and get a jump on the written exam. It's a very good resource to study for the written exams.
You can check out more on Company-Sponsored Training which is what prime does.

Company-sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
Prime has their own CDL program which its in Springfield, MO. If you go through them to get your CDL then you'll have to give them a year commitment. If you leave them before the year is up, you'll have to pay them whatever was the cost for training and getting your CDL. Their web site explains it in detail.
