Yes, still with Prime. I mentioned just a couple weeks ago that I am buying a truck through here.

If you don't have a family, or are ex military. Prime Inc is a great company. I've been lease for about a year and average about 4-4.5k a month and am out about 25 days. Great equipment too, trucks aren't the fastest (which I'm sure you have seen) but they're efficient on fuel even at 65mph to avoid dipping too deep into your line haul pay.

Hello, very interesting thread here. What's the age policy for riders with company drivers? I have two sons, 4yr old and 16mo old. I'm considering Prime, & live in Altadena, CA; about 50 miles from Fontana. What's their closest terminal to me?
JimmyBones Thanks this. -
I think it's 10 years old. And you drive your truck home
JimmyBones Thanks this. -
We have terminals in Salt Lake City as well as Denver, and drop yards in Fontana and I believe there's a couple others around the LA area but i'm not 100% sure on that.
JimmyBones Thanks this. -
Been reading this post for awhile. Currently working as a union apprentice (heavy equipment operators) for a crane rental company in Owensboro KY. With current politics I believe that the construction trades are going to take a big hit in wages etc..I also miss the road adventures. Looking at Prime as a soft landing when it does hit. Had my CDLs since Nov 08. Had a short gig with Werner, then was local for about 5 years. Currently I drive a truck about 4 or 5 days a week, but only about 300 to 350 mile round trips or less, hauling counterweights and other crane parts and setting them up. Would I have to go out with a trainer since I'm a low milage driver? Also I've seen cpm increases since the start of the post, what is the current cpm as of today? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any info.

That type of local gig very well might land you credit for experience. I would definitely talk with a recruiter on that as they would know for sure, but it's certainly worth mentioning as that could potentially up your starting rate right out of the gate.
I'd venture to say most of us company drivers running solo are in the ballpark of 10k miles per month. Good average miles to expect is right around 2.3-2.5k weekly. But there are also variables too, IE work ethic, on time%, safety record, motivated fleet manager ect...hal380 and Double-L137 Thank this. -
