Prime Inc. - A year in review

.36 cpm? Did they raise starting pay?

 

Looks like the pay scale is now more in line with what I am actually paid as a pre-Sept 2009 hire. The one I posted was post 2009.

Reefer Drivers get the .34 when they hit 80k miles.

 

This post deals in Reefer Pay scale

The current Reefer pay scale posted ORD appears to match with my pay scale as a Pre Sept 2009 hire.

When I started the PSD/Trainee to Solo Pay progression went like this

10k credit for PSD student. Trainee did 60k minimum before eligble for upgrade.

At 60k miles (50k team miles + 10k credit) the student could upgrade to A seat solo at .30/mile and then got .34/mile at 80k miles (20k solo miles) I went this route and upgraded just under 61k miles.. got .34 at 80k

OR

The trainee could wait and finish the last 20k as team miles with their instructor and upgrade to .34/miles at 80k,

Under both structures, at that time, you could not Lease a truck under 80k miles... so you could go either route... do 60k training then get some solo pay, then get the raise to .34 or lease a truck. OR do 80k training, go solo at .34 or lease a truck

MY reading of ORD's pay scale is that .34 still starts at 80k miles, acumulated under any mile structure.

I guess the question is: Irregardless of what the trainee miles to upgrade requirement, is it stil .30/mile as a solo under 80k?

If you want to refer back to ORD scale and use my current pay as a example how to read it. I currently make .37/mile and my milage is nearing or just over the 500k mark... my next raise to .375 is at 570k miles.
