I do have a couple questions. When it's time for you to go solo do they try an get you to go to a lease truck over using one of theres?
I'm looking at going into the flatbed side, will I have to purchase chain from a 3rd party company or will prime sell me everything I will need? (straps, chains, binders, ect.)
Welcome to the forum, as G-Town explained there are quite a few Prime employees past and present on this forum. I am currently a PSD/TNT instructor with Prime and am extremely happy with my choice of not only starting with Prime but also staying with them as well. The process is pretty straightforward you will spend two to three weeks in your PSD process then when you pass and receive your CDL you will do Your TNT training for a minimum of 30000 miles. If you need any direct questions answered I would be happy to help. Most everything can be answered through the websight and old forum questions. Good Luck Brian

Thank you g-town and brian! I have yet to read through Brett's book and the drivers guide. But have been trying to do extensive research about the program and the company itself. I have read some reviews, seen some youtube videos, went all over primes website, and looked them up on here. So far Im liking what I see.

I'm wanting to get into the trucking industry, Ever since working for my step dads excavation company and driving his rigs on job sites. I have driven a 1969 Mack R600 with the 5 speed Trans dumptruck, a 1976 Mack with the u pattern twin stick dumptruck (thats the truck I drove the most) and a 1995 Pete 379 lowboy. The Pete I spent very little time in but it was seat time behind the wheel none the less. I was thinking of going to prime to get my cdl as I don't have it yet. Is there anyone out there that has been an done there PSD and TNT program, that can tell me more about what it was like to go through it?

Made the jump
After calling around to a couple more companies and checking with them. I've decided to go with prime. Recruiter had said that prime has a regional program for flatbed and that intrigued me. I dobut I'll be able to jump right into that like he said I figure I'll have to be our for a while. But orientation is the 1st. Of August so 3 weeks away. I'm busy in tail and gonna try to go take my cdl permit test Friday so I don't have to do it in orientation.
