Not sure where you saw that prime has direct TV. You can buy the dish and have it installed but they aren't including that on the trucks. They do have apus and inverters. You can drive condos for 38cpm or a light weight for 43cpm. Also their own in house training program and $700 per week guarantee once you acquire your license for the remainder of your training.
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
APU:
Auxiliary Power Unit
On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.
Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.

I'm bad!! I typed prime and must have got that redirected monster. I'm always going the wrong redirected direction. Might be why I can't find that perfect school, company. Thanks for the correct direction!

Well I've read, studied, and came to the conclusion that no school, or company can offer everything I want! Since I can't get everything, maybe I can find something close. Prime offers directv, Stevens has condo and Apu , Schneider has dedicated, home weekends, Swift with dry van , and acceptable school, Star transport pays .42 per mile. Who has all that? What should I expect in the real world?
Dry Van:
A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.APU:
