ask your questions about prime inc here

i have been a driver/ lease operator here for 1 year and i will do my best to answer your questions about prime to the best that i can of what i know here

 

sorry it takes me alittle bit to get back to the page to answer your question every body makes it thru orientation {it lasts about a week}how ever not everybody makes it thru traning lenggth of training lasts any where from 20 thousnd to 80 thousand miles depending on your expeince this is part of th reason turn over is so high length of timeout with your tainer depends on whre he lives and tme he spends out on the road my friend dave goes home 3 times a year but is not the case with all trainers prime also operates 4 thousand trucks so its a fairly large co

i have a couple frinds in tanker they seem to be doing ok im in refer as a lease we all get the same pay rate witch is 72 percent of line haul and fuel charge miles are down for all of us but when you work on percentage miles dont allways count you allso have the option to buy at the end but i dont recomend it

 

yes that is true however he is responsible for his own state income tax because prime will only pay the federal part of the income tax but its garunteed income also if they get more milles than the garunteed pay he gets .12 cents per mile on all miles run wich could get him more pay

well my total cost per week is about 1100 a week wich includes tolls if any my pament 711 pre pass prmits and plates 34.00 apu rental 65 trip scaning 5 .00 the 4.5 cents per mile is a useagfee paid to the leaseing co for use of truck and atire fund for repair of tires prime will advance you the money for repairsbut most of the big stuff is under waranty so you dont have to worry about repairs the 944 i listed in the other thread is for a brand new pete with no miles mind you that my fuel costs are extra to all that but im kinda hevey on the pedal
