thats my point also, nothing against all the guys posting here but I have yet to see any hard numbers. The company doesnt post hard numbers or copies of settlements on the website, recruiters are verrrrrrry vague and only say it will be explained in orientation yet I am trying to make a business decision on minimal info, at face value all seems like a pretty good deal but I have yet to see hard numbers, this isnt personal, its a business decision, I have a job already, if this stands to be a better deal tho I wanna see something to prove it even if the settlments arent huge, whatever they are I just want to see it. anyways hope you guys all had a good xmas, happy new years comin up.:smt077

The only one i know of that post his numbers is evertrucker in the crete thread, he was a company driver trainer. It would be nice to see the numbers for someone interested in an l/o position at prime and even the company driver numbers also without splashing their personal info like ET covered his personal info. I understand
the numbers will not be the same for everyone, but future prime drivers will get a general idea of what to expect. -

But most folks want to see it on a prime document. Just saying.

DT no one is looking for proof of miles from a company driver unless they are making outrageous claims.
This is strictly a L/O deal. A battle that has gone on for years... Same argument different characters.
Claims made, proof requested, proof denied... -
For December he ended up with 9219 paid miles actually paid in December (or will be by Friday). He spent 2 days in the shop for APU and deer slayer install, plus another day waiting for his load out. He did spend Christmas at home, on a 34 reset. His gross pay for December (not including ANY fuel bonuses, Christmas bonus, detention pay, etc) will be: $3503.22. I am not going out on a limb by saying that should that be a 12 month average, he will surpass his mechanic's income by over $6k/year. Closer to $8k - $10k.
Since recovering Cubbie on Oct 21, he has a total of 20145 miles. Gross pay: $7655.10. That's 10 weeks (paid time) with Cubbie. He's had 4 days of home time, plus one extra at T-giving. After recovery, she spent 2 days in the shop at Pittston. She spent another 2 days at FL and SPRINGMO looking for an air leak. She spent 2 days in SPRINGMO for her APU/Deer slayer installation. Nine days out of "production" so to speak, so that 10 weeks is really only 8.5 weeks (ish, my eyes are starting to cross). He wasted a full 24 hours waiting on Hershey to get there shiznat together before his FM cancelled the load and told sales "to get my driver a REAL load". The load was assigned by a weekend FM. He is still learning the system. As am I.
Crunching the numbers more, I find that he has a weekly average of 2370 miles on "production" available time. Christmas is included in this as he was under a load at the time. Would we like a higher average? Absolutely. Can we live with what we have? Oh yes. When you are used to living on an average check (gross) of $550/week, believe me, the gross pay average of $765 (all 10 weeks) sure makes it easier to keep feeding the cows.tiger 4 Thanks this. -
I haven't heard any announcements... Selections may have already been made and I didn't win. Oh well, Ive got 2 driver of the month wins and a driver of the Year nomination in a span of 13 months. I'll take my name etched in some plaques in Springfield.
I've known about the nomination for a couple weeks... Prime people around here weren't happy with my assessment of another prize. I think this one is a little better than "I managed not to be a moron and did my job" PTC award. I Really wanted the $ prize on this one.andrew5184 Thanks this.
