    You will have a qualcomm in your truck for monitoring the reefer and get load info. No elogs or an e-babysitter.

    Yes you do if you pay fir the navigo. Everything is basically the same except you don't receive messages on the prime app. You'll see your load info but no qc messages. You can send a message from thr app, just can't receive them.

    Trying to get a grasp on what fixed costs would be on hiring a driver. I want to know what costs in dollar amount are associated with Prime. In other words what dollar amount in fixed costs I owe Prime every week? Truck payment and insurance I can figure out myself along with the variables. I want to know what my profit each truck weekly would be paying a driver roughly .42 per mile based off of 2800-3000 miles per week. Can anyone chime in?

    What about lumper fees?? You pay that out of pocket or does Prime give you the opportunity to get it from them through the COMDATA card and they just deduct it from your settlement?

    We are a new carrier, looking to start with one truck and I'm curious about entering via the power only fleet program at Prime. How much do you get paid out of the total weekly revenue? How good is their fuel discount? Do you get to choose the loads you take? Any input, advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!
