My Prime INC Experience. (A Running Log)

Things are going better. We drove 3200 miles this week. There is a lot of misconception about truck driving. For the new students coming in to prime and any other company you will have a lot of weird sleeping hours and there are times like today when you think you are going to be able to do a 34 hour reset but then you have to cover another load for a driver that ran out of hours. Overall though things are pretty good now. Remember to keep an open line of communication with your trainer though.

 

I am sure hoping to get a good trainer, I have a lot to learn and I want to learn it right the first time, hoping whoever I get has a good sense of humor and good to get a long with, knows the industry and enjoys teaching others.!

 

I'm new to Truckers Report. I've read this whole thread. I've been looking at Prime.
Was wondering how the OP (JimmyBones) was doing? Any new updates?

 

That's good to hear driver. Bout how many miles you averaging?

 

That's pretty good what do they pay for the Prostar? Is it the lightweight rate?

 

We will run from Tennessee to Wisconsin and then back to the yard to test out. Looking forward to starting my tnt training and start getting paid for all of this driving. 3500 miles last week makes me kind of scratch my head and ask if ive become merely a steering wheel holder. But I jave learned a lot.
