I went and read the blog and very very good! I love the way he writes and tells his story as if I was watching a movie. Sounds like they might be a very good fit for me. I will attempt to give them a call tomorrow as I just got home and its a 3 hour time difference and nobody is probably there anymore today. I do already have a plan to attend DTS in Spokane, Wa that WIA is paying for but wanted to check out another opton but at any rate when I am finished with school I will need to pick a company to start with and Prime just might be it.

Brett,

I did just that! Oh and I want to thank you personally. I have been doing this training on your site for almost a year and half now and this is the second time I was able to pass all my tests in one day and only miss one question. I am smiling from ear to ear. so now that is out of the way I have more time to focus on Pre Trip and driving skills while the other students are prepping for the permit. Thanks again!!
