    Hello, I had posted some of this up in the newbie thread, and was told to try asking in here to get a bit more accurate responses.


    • What exactly do we need to provide to prove work history?
    I have seen a thread or two about providing W-2s to companies to verify work history. Is this a common practice for Prime and other companies? Or do you just have to provide a resume and contact information for the business?

    • For team drivers, are there pay raises, and how do they work?
    • For team drivers, what are your average miles per week?
    We have found some stuff online, but would like to know from team driver's what is a realistic for beginner drivers, as well as a seasoned driver (6 months, 1 year, 2 years).​

    • What is the CPM currently for teams?
    • How much do benefits cost on the average weekly?
    Our recruiter said it would be discussed during Orientation but I like to be able to ballpark what could be average take home for saving purposes. ​

    • How much home time do you actually get vs being on the road?
    This isn't a big thing for us as we don't have much tying us down but we would like to try to see family every so often.​

    • Does Prime have the policy about male trainers being unable to train females still in place?
    • Will we be pushed into leasing once we finish our training and CDL?



    I thank everyone who gives any answer. I'm sure I'll think of some more questions down the road but these are the ones that are at the forefront of my mind now.

    Thank you,
    -E

    Well I can answer the following for you.
    Work History, submit the app and put your work history. They are going to call and verify what is on your App. If you were currently self employed you will need to submit your tax records to prove it. Also submitting a business license and a copy of your Federal TAX ID will help also.
    Hometime. 1 Day for every week out up to a max of 4 days off at a time.
    I don't believe Prime has that policy any longer. Males can train females.
    Leasing. If anyone pushed you about it report it to management. It will be mentioned, but I think more by Lease operators than anyone. But managment does not push it at all.
    Hope this help

    Let's be real here. There's no advantage to team driving at Prime 42 cpm split with 10 cents bonus after 3500 for the week. You'll get 5000 maybe the solo pay is 43 cpm light weight why would anyone team for that rate? Exception to husband and wife teams #combinedwealth

    Realistically, how many miles/week can a rookie team expect to drive?
