He likes his choice. They keep him moving and treat him well.
I am surprised you say you submitted the apps over a week ago, and haven't gotten anything back. Most people, including myself started getting responses within hours. Do you have something on your driving record, or criminal past that is causing an issue?
oh thats good!
not sure if a wreck i got in that wasnt my fault and no injures would be on it but that is the only thing that would be on it and no criminal past what so ever

Do you have the driver pulse app? If so you can see whether companies declined you or are looking at your applications.
Welcome
There are many great company sponsored schools. My son started with WIL-Trans this past February, and he is 21.

So you really believe prime, by extending TNT is trying to get more money out of students??
I'm sorry, but that's completely ludicrous. The risk that ANY company takes on when they accept an inexperienced permit holder/rookie is astronomical.
I personally believe Prime is on the right track. Training isn't NEARLY long enough. As a matter of fact, my company stopped accepting inexperienced drivers because they were tired of taking on that risk. It was beginning to cost way too much.
Carry on. Length of training time should be irrelevant in choosing a company that's WILLING to take you, pay you and train you to do this very difficult job. Unless of course you feel a training program is not long enough.
okay maybe im wrong about it but i dont really understand how its really training when your trainer and you are more of a team driver and hes not up there with you showing you what you are doing? I do agree that most 1 on 1 training isnt long enough though but prime wouldn't be doing 1 on 1
