Considering Prime, Sell me

Hated reefer side. I enjoy the physical work of doing flatbed.

 

Same here...coldest winter we had here was two years ago and the wind chill would get to -27. The coldest climate I been in was when I was deployed in Kosovo from 05 to 07. We would go set up an OP or a VCP on the border of Macedonia and Kosovo trying to catch ppl smuggling stuff into the country when the temp was -30 outside. Couldn't imagine it being -57 outside it would suck.

 

No reason for me to be outside in that lol I would be frozen solid lol

 

$600/week during training? Right? Thats good.. How much will i make as a solo driver pulling a flatbed? C1 truck school is trying really hard to keep me away from Prime. But i see nothing but good.. I really want to drive for Prime. How much as a solo flatbedder per mile? As a newbie. Please help and thank you..

 

Thats kinda right. You start out at $500 a week for 4 weeks (I think). After that it goes to the $600, as long as youre available for dispatch. The $600 is the MINIMUM (as long as youre not on hometime) Anything over 5000 miles for a week is paid as 10cpm for the first 4 weeks. Afterwards it goes to 12cpm. Solo flatbed starts out at 36cpm.

 

5,000 miles solo or with a trainer?

 

With a trainer - all miles are counted towards the total needed to upgrade. That's for an inexperienced CDL holder.

 

Ya. What the old pony said

 

Sounds like one of the best companys to start with fom my research.. I start orientation 8-28 in springfield.

 

Its been good to me. Good luck to ya!!
