Time for Prime.....

hey semi do you ever post over on the prime forum board? just curious they have their own just didnt know if post over there since i never see your name...

 

Yes Sir,

I check it every day and answer them as well. There are a lot more people over here though. I also have my own thread at The Pet Stop for Dog lovers/rescue drivers needed.

 

can you pm me with the name you post under over on prime's, and also the link to the pet shop site.....

 

They are both on this site. I do not post at the Primes web site that they just started. I do not like it as well and if I was to leave here then there will not be too many that will know what they are talking about here. Everyone else has left here and I am the only one left that can help out those who have questions. Over there it is just Prime talking to Prime. It is ok but I am not really interested all that much. But if you go to the forum jump at the bottom of these pages then you can scroll to PRIME or to The Pet Stop and it will take you there.

 

10-4 thanks....you are right someone needs to stay here that will help with advice as well as give prime some positive feed back....

 

Yes sir, I agree

 

Well hello Steve & Lo,
I posted earlier on the new driver section and was sent here by semi. Anyway, my thing is I am an experienced driver with around 10 years "class a" but local only. Im scheduled to attend Prime's orientation 2/26 in Utah. I dont have a clue what to expect. Ive spoke to my recruiter and was told that I will be put on the truck solo after orientation 2 days later. I hear and read other wise. How does it work? People ask me what I was thinking when making 85k annually delivering bread to local bk resturants (and being home every day) for otr. My answer to that: I want to see the country. I myself dont have nothing to come home to anymore so I really dont mind. I want to start out as a company driver first just to see how the game is played being green at otr and all. I know you are leasing and not company so any info you can give will be greatly appreciated.

 

Dude, there is only one way to answer that...GO BACK TO LOCAL! That kind of money is out here is you own your own truck and maybe a bit more but it is not worth not being at home everyday. Pray to God that you can get your job back. Wow! that was a mistake. If you want to see the country take 2 weeks off and drive your car. If you dont have anything to come home to then find something to come home to. If you run your !## off and write your logs the right way, (and that does not mean legally) then you can do about $700 average take home per week as company and about $1350-$1650 average as o/o. Your decision is based on what you want though so good luck to you bud.

 

Good to know Steve. Ive been holding down the fort as best as I can. Hard to keep up enough to match you rep here though.Glad to hear about your wife bud. Send here our congrads.
