New Adventure with PRIME INC. Take Two.

What's your pay rate on the 15k of teaming/training..?

 

Lmfao, gotta love the prime fanboys... Always good for a laugh

 

Agreed, no name calling and if you do not like Prime then say so in a decent manner.

 

Good Luck

Enjoy the journey......

 

Load securement gets easier with time. After awhile you learn
what works and what doesn't. Main thing is to pay attention to
detail and take the time to do it right the first time. My advice is,
put the phone down and do your job. I see a lot of guys trying
to talk and work; that is when mistakes are made.

I found that it takes a little while to get used to the truck too.
Where I keep my chains, and straps. Seemed I would always end
up with some shorter chains and straps. Course I would always
pull out the short chain when I needed the longer one......after
awhile I learned to keep the shorter chain at one end on the rack
and the longer one at the other. With time you will learn a lot of little
tricks that make life easier....good luck.

 

No, the whole trick to local is work for a good LTL company.

 

I ended up doing exactly the above, but discovered very quickly that I was done with OTR trucking -- I have nothing but positive things to say about Prime, I was just done with it. I drove for a local company for a few months and discovered -- like you -- that the pay was awful. I was very fortunate and once again obtained a teaching job at a high school in a good district, so I've pretty much left trucking behind. I am keeping my CDL, though...one never knows when you may need it.
