Considering Prime, Sell me

Training pay is pretty good once you get your CDL

 

I figured out that going with Prime would be a lot better than dropping $4k on a local school. Not that I have that kind of cash sitting around...

I would love to train in the winter but my income disapears at the end of this school year for three months, so like it or not, HERE I COME!

Maybe I'll start with adult diapers until I get the nack of snow/ice driving.

 

OR you can stay on with a trainer over winter. Prime will continue the $600/week pay for 80,000 miles. Least might get you through part of the winter.

 

Yes you will regret it, the drivers do not benefit from driving a truck anymore; only the companies do.

Drivers have so many people now that depend on them so they can get get paid, this is how companies cut/down on their payrolls, they run the crap out of you and take extreme advantage of the drivers.

They will talk good to you to get you in the seat and away from home, I wouldn't recommend trucking to anyone today unless it's a company that you can retire from with a pension like, Wal*Mart, Yellow Freight, UPS, ABF, Gordon Foods, Fed/Ex, Old Dominion, R&F, Schwan's, Big-E Estes, Saia, South East Motor Freight, Companies like these the driver benefits from his hard work; a company like Crime I mean Prime they only benefit not the drivers!

 

Go away.... Just cause you cant do it, doesnt mean he cant. Im doing quite well here thank you very much.

 

Well, you have blazed onto TTF like a demon! Six posts now, six angry, bitter
comments and probabley more to come before you flame out. What do you hope to accomplish with all this vitriole?

Get a life and please and take your venom elsewhere!

 

WOW! I can do that? Not a bad idea! Thanks!

 

I know someone who did it. She stayed with her trainer for the full 80,000 miles. Got her through Jan. She was able to get some winter driving experience before she went solo.

 

Prime does care about their drivers... NYC sucks!! Id rather go over Donners... Did it once. Not snow covered, but wet. Had 2 23,000# pound coils on. Id still rather have Donners. Long as I dont have to cross into Cali. (Im well aware of the fact that Donners goes into Cali)
