New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

This is for both.

 

That might be right but, that's why I said to might want to double check. I thought PSD was $500/week and then once you get your license it was $600/week in the TNT program.

They don't pay you anything until you get you permit is my understanding. Then they send you out with a reindeer for two to three weeks to learn before you come back and test for your cdl. It's the pre-permit part you don't get paid for. But like I said, ask one of the trainers on here or ask your recruiter. 5 weeks without pay does not seem right at all.

 

Thankyou redoctober. I kind of agree thats rough. I plan on getting my permit here in AZ before going, so I would have to $10 to transfer it to MO. If that was the case I wont wait long. I will double check to be sure

 

PSD is no pay. Can take $200/week draw which will be paid back @ $25/wk after you get CDL & considered employed.

TNT is $600/wk guaranteed. Additional pay by mile if you exceed certain amount of miles/wk. Believe it was over 3000 or 3500 miles/wk.

 

Getting that permit beforehand will give you a 2/3 day jump on things & make things less stressfull.

You'll be able to get right to simulator and computer class modules, and get out to the pad that much sooner.

 

I thought so, but red octobers sounded better . thanks again FMJ...... when you drive I 40 through Flagstaff and Williams if you see a silver Dodge Ram with a huge PSE sticker in the back window that would be me. I want that jump when I go, now to get my family secured before I go east.

 

The 600.00 a week is based on 5000 miles, over that you get .12cents a mile, When I was training we averaged 6000 to 6500 a week and I was getting about 700.00 or so

 

That's decent easy steamer...how is the simulator ?? Does it help ? Realistic ?

 

Is it normal for a recruiter to "drop off the face of the earth"? She left a message with my current employer to verify my employment and he has been trying to call her back as have I but her voicemail is full and she isn't answering the phone. She never did gve me her email and never emailed me even though i put my preferred contact method as email.

 

Yes they are always on the phone. Keep trying don't give up
