    Do drivers really make so much money at Prime?
    Everybody in the company keeps talking about how much money you can make, it starts sounds like too good to be true from over saying it.

    I’m here cause hopefully real people responds and no some recruiters trying to sell out their company or talking down about others.

    What to really expect from working at Prime, so far I’m an PSD waiting for a trainer.

    It’s fine if you pick Prime. Just get out there and go for it. Stop overthinking it. Once you commit to one you will feel better.

    I never worked for Prime but I would think you can do about 120,000 miles a year. 120,000x your rate per mile.

    Because it is. Prime and their Traffic nuisance 58 mph pos's are a menace on the highways. Combined with pathetic rates per mile, how are you gonna make all this money ?? You won't, they'll lie lie lie just like they sucker others to drive for this low life company.

    Now if you're a second chance hire.... You've gotta take what you can get...


    In short ... Don't get suckered !!
