My Prime INC Experience. (A Running Log)

Thank"s will give it a dry run when i get a chance. But while here got a question. Does Prime pick up the tab to get there on the dog run?. Reason i ask is the two company"s that called me, those being Heartland,and C.R.S.T. said they would, heck the lady from C.R.S.T. said i quote "Put you on a Greyhound Bus tomorrow, an you"ll be earning a check by end of the month".

 

Of course Prime picks up the tab. Room, board, meals too.

Now, a word of caution concerning (especially) CRST: You will be sorry.

 

Not quite.

PSD grads start TNT as B seat $600/week or .12 a mile whichever is greater. Non Prime CDL school grads start TNT as C seat at $500/week or .10 smile for 4 weeks and then move to B seat for the $600.

both seats do a minimum of 40k TNT team miles however PSD grads are given a 10k mile credit (30k miles)

so if the truck does over 5k dispatched miles in a week the cents per mile kick in and the trainee grosses more than the $600/$500 per week garauntee. B seat .12x5000=$600. Or C seat .10x5000=$500

also, if you live in CA, MA, or IL you will not get your CDL on site. Your trainer will take you to the DMV in your state (CA,IL, MA) to test. They don't allow CDL transfers without retaking the test so Prime doesn't even bother making you test in MO.

 

NO-NO don"t get me wrong I.P. just use"g as example, not that it"s not true, they are the ones that called me directly, have been sent e-mail from them to along with, Cr England, Swift, Schneider, C.R.S.T., ect.,and of course Prime, just doing my homework.

 

Gotta nip it in the bud those "I'm confused.... I read somewhere else it's..."

 

Mr. Chucktaylor tried to respond to your thread #965, page 97, by doing what Jim said use"g the reply with quote, and got tired of watching it spin around for a good 20 minutes. To quote you now " I am confused", don"t get me wrong, i"m not looking to cut corners, meaning will i make more money (the 600) by having the c.d.l. in hand first, not a concern as from what i have learned it"s a good starting pay (500) as compared to the rest out there,an everyone has to pay there dues,(can't believe i just said that, was a union carpenter & i hope i don"t get slam"d for this,my four years exp. was as a teamster) question is with it in hand where would i start,P.S.D or T.N.T.?

 

you can't start Prime's TNT training without a CDL. You either get a CDL thru Prime's PSD program or you go to a program at another school.

im not answering anymore questions on this thread. It's not mine. I was just filling in some added info on what JB had said.
