    So you mean the guy did not have the decency to tell you it was not for him? He just up and split?? WOW.

    My hats off to you for calling him back and wishing him well. Especially since it appears he placed you in a bind to get the load delivered. Most would have probably called him and bit his head of.

    No he didnt get his CDL at Prime...He was a recent CDL school graduate, who paid for his own tuition and came to Prime with no experiance... C-Seat classification, which is actually lower than a Prime CDL graduate.

    C-seats are 10k miles behind the B-seat... they get .05 per team mile or $500 per week for 5 weeks before they graduate to the B-Seat pay scale of .06 per mile or $600


    He didnt really put me in a bind that much... If he had waited 5 more hours, then I would have had a problem making the rest of the trip solo.
     
    Fratsit Thanks this.

    Hey U2 you got the pay rates wrong in there. C seat should be .10 a mile for all miles the truck goes or $500 a week, and B seat is .12 a mile or $600.

    ok so let me get this straight...
    If I go to Springfield and get my permit there I am not making anything until I take the test for my CDL. About a month out. That is after my 100 hours. Then when I get on the truck with the trainer for my 60k that is when I start making the better of $600.00 a week or .12 a mile. Do I have that correct?

    Yeah... almost... pass the test (I think you get 3 tries), get on a trainers truck and then you start making the 600 or .12
