    Company driver reefer. 44cpm
    There is no stop pay! If you have a multi stop load then you get 20$ for each stop after the first.
    Detention pay is 15$ per hour after 3 hours. Max out at 125$ but don't worry much about that because they schedule the pickups that they know will take forever with huge pickup windows. My biggest pick up window was 3 days, Tyson.
    Detention pay is 65$
    Fuel bonus was shut down about a month ago. Still trying to figure that one out. They claim that since fuel costs are so low that they are paying out to much in fuel bonuses so they killed it.

    The whole detention thing is a scam. Prime claims each customer pays differently which is complete bs. Basically I believe they are ripping drivers off when it comes to detention.

    I've gotten the multi load pay once, from my experience it's just my flat rate of .46

    Miles for me have been horrible lately but I'm putting that on my fm, hope to get a new one soon and I'm confident that'll itll pick up

    I average 2800 miles a week and no you don't really get an option on a condo. I asked for one, they said since I was going solo I got a lw
