celedon or prime?

"58" is a driver's choice. You can go fast... up to the governed limit, or you can work on maximizing the variable fuel bonus paid weekly. One guy mentioned getting 6-cpm on top of his regular pay recently. With the new company pay increase, Prime will be starting folks at 42-cpm after training.

All company drivers at Prime earn a weeks paid vacation every 125,000 miles.

 

no, you get 450$ a week training for prime, i just quit that company...what a joke, and their trainers are filthy worthless idiots, i learned more in school then i did from a prime trainer...

 

No its $600 you have heard of taxes right minus those advances if you took those. Prime has been good to me no complaints my instructor was great taught me alot, i agree with one thing there are some bad instructors but hey thats at every training school to bad it didnt work out for ya, watch what u say you might be sorry u left.

 

That's why you're encouraged to contact your FM regularly concerning your training and trainer, and why there's a post-training evaluation that you get to fill out. Not everyone is meant to teach, and evidently you got a bad one.

How many folks want to bet that post count doesn't get beyond "1"?

 

I just finish TnT with prime $600.00 dollars week,sometimes more it all depends on how many miles you run,if you get a bad trainer just call your FM he will find you a new one and PLZ dont waste your money on school come to prime is so much better.

 

I'm @ CRST training in Cedar Rapids right now. There are ZERO up front costs and they reimburse you for your permit fee and your CDL fee. And every morning from 530-630am they serve breakfast. Not bad so far and we only have to stay on for 8 months.

 

Both the same,

flip a coin

 

I'm going to Melton after my 8 months and start out @ .40¢ mile plus TARP pay and extra pay to go to Canada

 

Wow prime actually pays there workers I'd heard a rumor they were shafting the drivers who were on the lease program.

 

there is a recent thread about a prime driver with 3 month experience who got lost and trying to get back on track safely hung up his gear in a bad spot on the road. LOL Prime wants to shaft him with the $450 tow bill. Whats next with Prime?? Company Drivers paying for late fees on loads, paying for fuel costs for being out of route, and paying equipment detetion fees for mismanagement of equipment when they inadvertently oversleep on a ten hour break?

CRST scares the bejesus out of me... I've heard and seen way to much.

go with Celadon or another...too much bad info on Prime and CRST...or take the crap shoot. just my two cents.
