I can't personally vouch for TMC, since I've never worked for them, but there is (or was) one thread on here about them that had a LOT of replies.
As for Prime, run far and fast away from them.
Where DO you live, by the way?
Maverick and McElroy train, and so does TMC. Werner even has a small [comparatively speaking] flatbed division, but it may not be available where you are.
As for schools, talk to some non-company-sponsored schools where you are. That way, if you change your mind about who you want to haul for when you're in school, you're free to do so. Also, ask some of the companies with whom you want to apply if you'll be eligible for hire if you DO get a CDL. If you hear a resounding "No," this could save you a few thousand dollars in wasted schooling costs. (Hopefully, that will not be the case and you'll be eligible for hire.)
I know I won't be the last person to say this, but DO NOT LEASE A TRUCK from the company you drive for!
Also, welcome to the forum.
