Want to get into Prime truck driver program....

Well now, isn't that quite RUDE? Is there a real need for that?
And then the best you can come up with there Chuck is..... "Start here" (Prime start page) and "Ignore the other guy."
WOW - that was a wealth of knowledge now wasn't it. Anyone could have said that.
Thanks for your big enlightenment.
For your information GoBlue is a pretty great guy who was just trying to answer the question for a newbie. He went out of his way to type up a bunch of stuff on the facts as he knew them.
Much more I might add then: "Start here" (Prime start page) and "Ignore the other guy." And with may more class and intelligence to boot.

 

When you get paid percentage you don't have to worry about that set per mile rate. They may be going slower, but I bet they pocket more and drive less. It also takes a lot of determination to purposely drive slower, any monkey can put the hammer down and play the I'm a half mile an hour faster than you game. While pissing off the super truckers at the same time. It's not the governed trucks causing the accidents, it's the idiots that don't allow for proper spacing. It isn't only the 4 wheelers pulling out in front of you with less than a second in front. I've had more tucks do it when I'm putting along @ 58.

 

Your very welcome. Best advice I can give is look around - a lot! There are all sorts of truck driving jobs out there; which are all varied. Pick the one that you think fits you best.

 

The lease operators get percentage, company drivers are probably per mile.

 

Newbie I am going lease with prime here soon but u should start out as a company driver no matter what!! You need to learn to drive first then learn about the business side later. don't listen to the supertruckers about going fast or passing people. Speed wont help u make more money; but it will help u spend it. Right company for the right money and LOW AND SLOW.

 

Prime Company drivers start at .41cpm driving a Light Weight truck. At least thats what it was a couple of months back. Hope this helps.
