    Are there good miles with prime? I use to drive for central refrigerated and getting 2700 to 3200 miles a wk. I got out of otr for 18 months and now work for S W I F T and lucky to get 2200. Most of my loads have been around 300 with multiple stops. I am thinking on going back to refrigerated loads and have my eye on prime. Are you guys on e logs?

    You run a minimum of 30,000 (40,000 actually, but you get a 10,000 mile credit for doin the simulator)

    Trucking is a big turn over no matter what company you go with. I been with Prime 7 1/2 years and I have seen a lot of drivers come and go.

    Wrong they guaranteed to 600 a week no matter if you make 1 mile or 5000 but you can't go home or that will stop.... But when you come back out you start all over again:biggrin_25514:

    Take the training at Prime. It will likely be better and its free if you stay on 1 year. Some people frown about being locked in for a year and opt to get their training elsewhere, I thought about doing that myself. But I looked at it this way. Most other good opportunities require one year of experience anyway, so I may as well take the free deal and after getting my one year in, I could go wherever else I wanted. Next month will be two years and I'm not going anywhere...
