    Better hurry if you are going to Prime. Rumor has it anyone hired after June 3rd has to do 50,000 miles in training, and you won't be getting a truck until they have one for you, which means you could be going farther than 50,000 miles. I heard they are also cutting down the number of new hires they are accepting.

    If Prime isn’t the highest pay who is paying higher?

    Millis pays .43cpm for all miles the truck is dispatched on while in trainin . Doesnt matter if the trainer is driving or the trainee is driving, the trainee is getting paid .43cpm for all the miles until he has 15,000 miles driven.

    I got paid $26.50/hr to train. Pretty much any ltl company will pay more to train.

    Is heartland going to run it under heartland or leave it as a seperate company. Many times things stay the same except the owner.
