Realistic income (prime)

No leasing no matter what they promise ... I’ll say it again no leasing no matter what they promise... and just in case you forget absolutely no leasing .. read up on prime in the search feature lots of info there .. everyone has a different experience except the lease guys 99% get the shaft on that side

 

If you have the time and patience to do some digging there’s actually some pretty decent and informative Prime threads here. It actually sounds like their training program isn’t too shabby. I’d advise strongly against leasing.

 

Do not lease. Can you afford say a 40,000 dollar engine repair should your leased truck destruct on you? It will be YOU that fixes it and pays the bill. Not the company.

 

Doing a Lease without knowing how it works, combined with being new to the trucking industry, would be similar to learning how to skydive on the way down.

 

You probably can drive about 120,000 miles a year times what ever they pay you per mile. If you never go home and work all the holidays maybe 130,000 miles.

 

Are you talking about gross ( before deductions) or net ( after deductions)?

 

How about $800 week guaranteed minimum pay when solo and 1-12month driving time then $900 a week 12-24 months $125 per day when on trainer truck.

You can see what someone else pay for new drivers
