Yes. Last time I looked, it was $600/week.
All of the information is at www.primeinc.com -
They get it all back when they lease you a truck.
-
No they do not pay you, to get your cdl... They loan you 200 a week until you get your cdl, which will normally take four weeks.Skunk_Truck_2590 and lrwnow63 Thank this.

Bingo, YAHTZEE! Then you get to pay it back which gets taken out of your check/settlement. They are quick to try and force you to sign a lease. Something I don't recommend even if you are highly business savvy.
-
Signing a lease is voluntary.
100 Percent Thanks this. -
Continue researching.
You have a long ways to go, yet.
Enjoy...... -

While you are a PSD student driver on a CDL permit, you aren't a Prime employee. Your meals and room and board will be covered by Prime, and while you are on the road getting the 100+ hours of experience you'll need to do your practical test, Prime will loan you $200 per week to cover your expenses. It's up to you whether you take it or not. That will be paid back at $25 per week after you get your CDL and are employed.
During TnT training, you will be paid $600 per week or 12-cpm (whichever is greater) before taxes while you are on the truck as an employee. If you take home time, the wheels aren't turning so you don't get a paycheck for that time. No one pushes leases at Prime, and your assignment to a truck does not depend on you signing your life away. I spent three years on the company side, and only heard the word "lease" once during orientation when they mentioned that there was such a program.
Make sure you check out the threads over in the Prime forum, and if you have questions ask them there. -
ayou could not be more wrong than you are. Prime does not force anyone into a lease at all, they mention it is an option when you are hired and that is it. In my year and a half with Prime going lease was never brought up by anyone in the office.

Skunk knows all of that... he decided to quit Prime because he couldn't put a muzzle on his right foot.
...or did it get to the point of termination??
