    That would be an unsubstantiated guesstimate at an outdated attempt to create a completely false rumor. Nope... nothing in Dayton. Springfield, Salt Lake City, Pittstion and Denver.

    Thanks IP. I had never seen it before, but it was a link from Class A Driver site to a Prime info sheet.

    Thanks again!:yes2557:

    FWIW, my FM said the same thing, and I know I'm not on the same board as the two of you. Lease ops will also be switching to e-logs. I believe anybody going through orientation now, be it lease or company side, will be on the e-logs. If you don't want to be on e-logs, I'd stay away from Prime, and just about any other major company. CSA2010 is going to pretty much force all major companies to switch over unless said company doesn't mind having a terrible safety rating.

    Why stay away from elogs??? Best thing that ever happened at the chicken coup...

    DOT Bear: "Lemme see yur logs!"

    Driver: "I'm on e-logs, here's the instructions for you to get my last 8 days..."

    DOT Bear: (PO'd) "Get outta here driver!"

    Nope.

    Terminals in Pittston PA, Salt Lake City, UT and Springfield, MO

    We have a shop in Duke, OK. A drop yard and offices in Denver CO.

    Floral Division has limited facilities in Portland OR, Oxnard CA, Pierson FL.

    Somehow I feel like I am missing some where.

    I took 7 days vacation at the beggining of the month... got an extra day at home for total of 8.

    This will probably jinx myself....but I will probably finish the month with more miles than a vacationless Jan. 2009.

    Currently getting a restart before delivering a Load from ID (20 miles north of Ontario OR) to Atlanta tommorow... its my 2nd restart of the year, mainly because I have been efficient with my driving time and 2 inflexable reciever appointments.

    If I hadnt got the last one, I wouldnt have got this load... and taking one at this point on this load results in having 60+ hours available Monday rather than 25 hours Sun-Wed...

    Someone asked for milage pay with regards to raises here it is

    REEFER
    A seat solos start at .30/mile until they reack 80k miles (driver training miles count)
    .34 till 120,000
    .35 till 180,000
    .355 till 250,000
    .36 till 320,000
    .37 till 430,000
    .375 till 570,000
    .38 till 720,000
    .385 till 840,000 it steps all the way up to .42 at 1.7 million miles

    Vacation counter does not count training miles.(Your vacation counter starts your first dispatch after reaching A seat solo status)

    Vacation is 7 days and paid $500 at 125k, 250k, 375k... at 5th year its 2 weeks at $550/week

    Between 2 trainees I ran almost 60k dispatched team miles with them (roughly 50k with one and 10k with the other)... I dont know if their half counts towards my total... Right now I keep 2 running totals.. Without asking my FM, I will know which total is right if I get a raise in the next week or so... if not, 30k more miles till Im at .36/mile

    And that doesn't include fuel bonus. So it works out pretty well for us.

    What would you say the average is that a new driver stays with Prime?
