My Prime INC Experience. (A Running Log)

Thanks jimmy! I really appreciate the info! Def has eased my worries! Your a good man!

 

im thinking of going work there once I turn 21.

 

How much do owner operators get paid weekly?

 

You pay yourself with what is left over after you pay the bills and set aside enough to keep the business running. If there is anything left over.

 

My husband is leaving for orientation in Scanton in a couple weeks. His recruiter is not very helpful and he already had to push it back once because his recruiter never told him he would be leaving OTR straight out of orientation. Very frusterating for both of us. Im not sure why everything has to be a mystery. Can you please give us some idea for a packing list? We have no idea how long he will be out, what will happen, anything. Very frusterated this afternoon over this.

 

Pack lite. His bunk will be the top and all his stuff will be up there with him most likley. I toom one bag full of clothes and it was too much. It got in my way while sleeping. Good luck to him. Training is a long hard process but its a decent training program. Prime is a great company to start with.

 

He will probably be at orientation for a week, the out on the truck training for his cdl 3-4 weeks. Then he goes to take his cdl test. After he passes back on the road with either same or different trainer (its up to them). Then home time depends on what his trainer decides. Some guys never go home, I was home every 3 weeks for a week. But, you might as well just go ahead and get used to him being gone for long periods of time. When I first left for orientation I was gone for two months. Seems long but now two monts on the road go by and I dont even notice it. Not really a good thing but it is what it is.
