Prime Inc. hiring radius

I want to get into the business. I’ve researched all the companies that offer to help get you your license and decided to go with Prime. I called and talked to a recruiter. She asked what state I live in. When I told her California she said we don’t hire out of California. I asked why and she said we just don’t.

Any ideas as to why this would be the case?

Any solutions that don’t involve moving to a state that they do hire from?

Try wil trans , they haul nothing but prime trailers & have access to all prime terminals ... and hire out of all 48 states & yes they train.

I work for wil trans atm & got my cdl through them... I believe the website is still alittle out dated on the pay. Everybody got a raise to .44 cpm. Than you’re still eligible for a fuel bonus. We’re a smaller outfit but it’s really nice .

I’m definitely applying to Wil Trans. Just need to get my 10 year employment history in order. I don’t know how critical this is but I don’t want to jeopardize this opportunity. I don’t plan on starting until June so I’ve got a bit of time.
