Prime Inc driver thread

What does prime pay per mile? Does that include per diem?

 

Prime pays 36cpm to start for Flatbed Division. DTB can handle the reefer division. I think 8cpm is paid as per diem

 

Just boarded the second bus of 4 during this trip. Should arive around 1pm can't wait to get there. Woooo

 

Randy how long did it take for them to find you a trainer?

 

Is that .08 cent included in the .36?

 

Newtrucker I don't honestly have an answer for you at the moment. I'm on the bus on the way to orientation for Prime's cdl training program. I haven't asked my recruiter about my specific trainer yet, but I will try once I get to springfield if its not covered in orientation. I'll let you know as soon as I find an answer.

 

Did they tell you the pay?

 

What I was told is reefer starts at 34cpm, but if you run in the lightweight fleet (smaller sleeper and no passenger seat) they give you a 5cpm bonus making it 39cpm, and flatbed starts you at 36cpm with tarping and untarping pay which I believe is $25 but I might be remember that one wrong.

 

33cpm which includes 8cpm per diem. Once you hit 80k miles, you get 34 cpm. (Again, 8 cpm perdiem). Bonuses: NE regional (must live in the NE), 5cpm. Ltwt truck, 5cpm. Pay raises approx every 40k miles or so, there's a thread in the Prime section about pay. ORD put up the latest numbers.

Fuel bonuses: Currently, if you get over 7.5 mpg, you get a bonus on your check. No one seems to know the scale, and since it seems to fluctuate...I can tell you that 8.1 was 3cpm a couple of weeks ago, but 8.09 was 2.8cpm last week

 

Its $50 for tarping
