Starting my new career.....at PRIME

ahhhhh so u have to do 60 with a trainer then u can do the last 20 by urself do trainers do it str8 or stop n go home and do u have the same trainer through the 60?

 

There can be home time involved for both trainer and trainee, and in most cases you keep the same trainer. It depends on the circumstances. I was with the same guy all the way through. I know of others who had say three trainers. It just depends.

 

Average miles for me when I was on the company side was around 2700-2800 per week, but could go over 3000 depending on your trips, shipper/receiver appointments, etc. I suppose $700 - $800 after taxes is a fair estimate, but it could certainly go over $1000. It also is going to depend on where you are in the seasonal freight cycle.

 

i see i see u think im better off gettin my schoolin and cdl before i go cuz i think i will get a grant but i dont know when im on a waitin list for the grant right now

 

What on earth ever happened to the driver that started this thread ???

He only lasted 1 month ??????

 

Not really. There are quite a few advantages to be gained via CDL training at Prime. The best example of that I can give you is much more time behind the wheel with 1-on-1 instruction than you will ever get at any school.
