Prime Inc driver thread

Ignoring everything else, Prime doesnt hire CDL holders with no recent experience, unless they are trainees who are new grads from a CDL school.

They will hire "no recent experience drivers," but require a refresher course.


There is no refresher course at Prime.


Given your situation, you still have to go somewhere else and pay for one or get 6-8 months experience at another company. Of course, hopefully that company will hire you with no recent experience.

 

Thanks for your reply Chucktaylor. I know my post was long and maybe a bit tedious to read and you may not have read or really qued in on the end of the first paragraph where I wrote about what the Recruiter told me: "...she shared that IF I was allowed to return to Prime, having renewed my CDL though I haven't driven in all of this time, I'd have to take a refresher course before coming for re-training (I called U S Truck Driving School and was quoted $2400 for a one week refresher class, as one example of a possibility.)"

It seems like you may be very familiar with Prime and I would greatly appreciate your input on the questions in the rest of my post, which are the ones I really need to find out about.

Thank you.

 

I'd think that you'd have to get some OTR experience somewhere else before coming back to Prime, and that'll still mean shelling out for a refresher course most likely. BEFORE you do something like that, get a commitment that you'll be hired if you take the refresher course.

 

Most good paying companies won't hire you as of now, especially Prime. I tried, but turned it down due to them not getting back to me in time. Tracy was pulling my arm and I couldn't afford to wait, so I went with Schneider. Try there. They have three weeks of training at $80/day, then you're off to roll solo or what have you.

Is per deim pay optional for Prime Company Drivers?

 

I daytrade also have for years. When I get up nice or can't get my mind right,( losing streak) go trucking or do something else for a while. Cleanse your mind. With tech today do a 34 in the middle of the week and trade if you want. Just sayin.

By the way when I talked to the recruiter at Prime, really nice lady by the way named Tammy, she said you do what? She didn't know what I was doin so scanned trade sheets e-mailed and they were good with it.

 

Yes it is ........

 

What is the pay for prime company trainers?
I have been running a truck for an owner op and getting .28 a mile for all truck miles while I had my first TNT student have not gotten any extra for student
Was told the other day by another company TNT trainer that I should be getting 500 as soon as my student gets in his truck and another 300 when he is there a year is that all the extra pay I should see for each TNT student?
I'm not doing any psd
Thanks
Also I got this student fresh from psd and ran him all of his tnt

 

Sure like duh duh's advice from 12/21 regarding his and my shared occupation... Inching closer to contacting the Pumpkin People. Does anyone know if Schneider does Tanker Training out of Fontana, CA?

 

I believe you took the wrong exit... try the one marked "Schneider."
