ask your questions about prime inc here

Amazing. During 30 years of marriage, I wondered what was wrong with me. Well, it turns out all that cramping and jerking and involuntary movements that further disrupted my sleep were, in fact, caused by a disorder, but RLS weren't her initials!

 

*gigglesnort*

 

I never had that problem after my wife took the first bite of wedding cake - then it was too late.

 

I'm looking to switch to prime and was wanting to know if I become a company driver/trainer, what the ballpark gross weekly income I can make. I'm a trainer now and have been on and off for 6 years.

 

I believe its 3-6 months before they will let you be a trainer.

Trainers are paid the team rate minus the .12 or .10 per mile paid to the trainee. Dispatched miles to the truck loaded and empty.

25% of the fuel bonus goes to the trainee. 50% of the stop pay goes to the trainee.

.10 or .12 depends on the experiance (seat level) of the trainee.

Trainees on the truck for the entire 7 days of a pay period are garaunteed $500 or $600 depending on their level. Company trainer is not required to make up the difference between any miles under 5k and the gaurantee.

(5k miles x .10/.12 = $500/$600)

Im not sure what Company instructors get.

 

As an Instructor I get all the miles at my rate. Plus $300 a week for student being on. Testing is where I make My money..
If student passes
Written
Drive
Pretrip
I believe it is $500
2nd time $300
3rd time $150
after student goes solo A seat. $250 bonus
After 1 year student at prime $250
Don't quote me on it but i believe with a trifecta "passes all first time"
its a total payout over 1 year of $3250 each

 

i have most of my pre trip stuff memorized by studying all the time and i wont be ready to go to prime for another year and im allready studying? anyway i plan on earning you $3250!

 

So what do you generally gross per week with a student on your truck

 

I want your job.
