Prime Inc Flatbed

I am working with a recruiter now to join the FB division as a company driver.

Any new feedback to assist me with my decision?

I'm told I need a TWIC card and hazmat. Do flatbeds do work on the docks and haul hazmat?

Thanks!

 

Wow you dug up an old thread. I am in week 2 with Prime flatbed division. I plan on going Lease operator. Anyway YES they want you to have TWIC and Passport, I was told since I was going flat not to worry about my hazmat for now, if I decide to change to reefer then I will need to get Hazmat from what I was told. Now talk to drivers 10 and you get 10 different answers about hazmat. Good luck PM any questions or just post here.

 

Sweet, a new Prime driver in the division I'm interested in.

How's your experience been thus far?

8 weeks or so to go?

600$/wk?

 

I am actually experienced I went to another company for 6 months and these guy prefer 8 months experience but will take 7, so I just need 20k miles to complete what I need for them. Should only be about 15 more days or so to go since the mileage is combined. It is $600 wk or .12 cpm whichever is better, my trainer said last trainee on the truck got about 800 a week so we will see. So far I am very impressed with Prime.

 

That's great news to hear, thank you very much!

Two weeks of CDL training to go!

 

I'm in the prime flatbed side and twic card has made me some money. I deliver to the ports in Houston at least once a month. The hazmat loads that you'll pull are some roofing materials that have a sealant that comes with the load. I didn't have my hazmat so the customer just pulled the sealant of my trailer and put in on another load going to the same customer. I you want, I'll send you a pm with my number if you need so questions answered
