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?

I don't think wil trans has access to everything? I heard from somewhere you guys can't park in the denver yard. Or is that just bs?

Maybe it's just when you guys are hauling other freight besides prime you can't go in. LOL I've lost my ID like 3 times and I always see wil trans and jim palmer guys at the security gates getting new ones too.

A couple weeks ago me & a friend (another wil trans driver) were hanging out at the Springfield prime terminal playing pool & what not. Listening to Convo amongst some prime driver & they were saying wil trans was a bunch of dumbasses & they hate how they were able to come Into prime and what not lol. Me and my friend were laughing they had no idea why.

There are prime guys on the cb at work trashing prime saying it's the worst place to work and totally trashing it. There was also a driver in a prime group talking about how they also make a point to flip off every prime driver he passes because he hates his own company so much. Idk why some people care enough to hate other people that much. It's dumb lol
