My experience at Pride Transport

Thanks for the information DB. Are you still still with Pride? I am still interested in them because of the smaller company feel, nice equipment, and from what I hear the great mileage that their drivers get. They are lower than a few other companies I am looking at when it comes to pay raises over the course of my first year and what they top out at. Although if they are getting great mileage and those other companies are not, I'm sure it would even out or even swing in favor money wise with Pride. I certainly have some thinking to do. Thanks so much for the reply. Take care and stay safe.

 

I know this post is old but just got off the phone with them.
.35CPM with 2 years safe driving. No APU. 65 mph trucks. And alot of jersey NTY lol..

 

I'm curious, to whom you spoke with? I work for them on the dedicated fleet so I never see anything east of Denver. So I cannot say anything about the National fleet. It is however, .35 cpm, but then we get our monthly bonus, I currently make .36 cpm, but after bonus it turns out to be closer to .38. I get miles, 65 mph is allot better than most that are governed at 62. Just my 2 cents worth.
Best of luck to you where ever you decide.

 

They don't pay for when you're at a Walmart D.C. For 8+ hours. Good luck getting a response for pay.

 

Do you work for or have you ever worked for them?
I know for a fact, if you are on time for an appointment, and sit for more than two hours, and file detention, you will get your detention pay. I have sat at DC's more than once, and was paid detention.
So if you DO work for Pride, and are not being paid detention, then it is your own doing. Not Prides.

 

One of my best bros is at pride and he's been driving 20+ years OTR and has nothing but good to say....that says a lot about them. I've personally talked to Steve and Brian a few times and they are decent guys.

 

Wow that;s a whole lot of pride thanks for the autobiography

 

This would be true. With 20 years experience he is only at .38 cpm....seems low but hey if it's a good company would you rather have that and be happy or have .45 and be miserable at some places

 

20 years and 0.38 cents per zip code mile just doesn't cut it for me.

Glad to hear your friend is happy there. I won't waste my breath trying to talk him away from a job he likes.
