Hello, I just wanted to take a sec and introduce myself and say thank you to Brett and all of the moderators for keeping such a fantastic site. I have been lurking in the background drinking in all of the info that is available. I am 29 married with a one kiddo. I already have my CDL and have driven school busses as well as trucks before, but I have very little OTR experience so I will be starting over basically. Prime said they would let me go through their PSD program, however the other companies I have contacted said I have to have more experience or no CDL to start. So I'll go with Prime, they seem to have pretty good reviews and people on here seem to be pretty happy with them. I do want to try and go regional at some point next year so I can be home more often with the family, I am lucky enough that the wife understands that I have to gain some experience before I am going to be able to find a job that pays that will get me home more than once a month. I am hoping that what I have planned is not out of reach or wrongly thought out. I will be going to Sprimo at the end of the month for training and I am realistic enough to understand that I probably wont see the house until closer to the holidays.
Well thanks again for having such a variety of amazing information available. Yall have a good day and stay safe.
