New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

See with my haz mat as long as its 1000lbs or less I don't need to be placarded or technically need the endprsement but once you hit 1001lbs that is enforced up here in maine

 

Empty tanks are still ok without the endorsement.

Only going to answer #3 as not sure about the other 2.

My truck goes into maintence when I am on home time, at that time I drop it off at the Freightliner dealer and let them have it. I don't do maintence at Prime facilities unless I have to. The reason is because they are so darn busy with other trucks, lease trucks it seems, but don't hold me to that. Even when I need maintence while I am in springfield my truck goes to FL. Heck even when I was having some APU issue's my truck went to the Rigmaster dealer.

 

They added that after the comment period. Changed their intent a little, LOL!!

 

ok thanks for the info Hwy101

 

To clarify...

1000 pounds or less of table 2... you do not need the endorsement. Any amount of table 1 you need the endorsement.

Is it (realistically) possibly to make 800-1000 dollars a week as a company driver for Prime?
