So earlier today I got invited to join prime up in Springfield for training and was crossed my mind as I'm wondering if anyone has done the training recently and how the pay scale actually looks in the real world for a solo refrigerated driver.

PSD no pay. Able to take $200/wk advance, to be paid back @$25/wk after you are officially employed AFTER you successfully get your CDL.
TNT $700/wk guaranteed throughout, until you upgrade & get your own truck. Anything over 4500mi in TNT (which are Team miles), you will be paid more than that, figured by miles ran in excess.
Reefer company base pay is .38/mi. You will receive an extra .05/mi for getting in a lightweight truck when solo. So, .43/mi. Add to this incrementally increasing fuel milage bonus for anything over 7.5mpg.Last edited: Oct 29, 2015

I'm really excited on going on otr with Prime I recently talked with several drivers that are on there first year. No one had anything bad to say about prime besides the normal complaints and the lightweight being way small for the bigger guys. That is one of my worries actually cause I'm 6'4" and a heavy guy, and don't really know much about the light weights.

Hauls more less room in cab sleep area. Darth etc anything else?

I really like the 2016 Prostar. I'd probably buy a full sized model. But this lightweight works.
At 6'4", you'd just be able to stand up near the bunk area. But I'm betting you'll get a full size. That being said, the full sized is a .05 cpm pay cut.
Good. luck -
