I've decided against the central refrigerated program because of comments and because Prime is more suited to what I am looking for. Prime gives you more experience before you get your own truck & they have a pet policy. It's very important to me that I can have a pet with me. It sounds like it would get old real quick to be on the road without a friend. Bring a dog along and it would probably change my outlook completely.
The Prime trucking school just looks like a better fit for what I am looking for. I'm sure it is just as much of a pass or leave kind of situation as the others but they also give you about a week to make your mind up once you are out with a trainer. I imagine learning on the move is more suited to who I am as well.
Thank you for the advice.
Awesome, yeah I've been studying the high road program for about a week now I'm almost through it. I"m going to go through it another time and probably take a million practice tests. It is a pretty thorough program, I'm very happy I found it and that someone took the time to put it together.
If you have an android phone you can get the TT app and take practice tests to your hearts content

I went through the swift academy in January. Currently running for the walmart account out of Pottsville pa if you can go to a school I would seriously reccomend it. Your checks will not be very large when you start off and they will rock you for 130 weekly. Gets kind of hard paying bills n eating out here. Oh n the academy is very Darwinian like pass or go home the recruiter won't tell you this. Oh n u won't make more then maybe 300 a week once ur out with your mentor. N bring money to school to buy food its not provided n most places the food is awful.
