Prime Tanker Experience So Far...

Profit margins on loads are higher in tanker. $1.50 per mile is a low paying load in tanker. You see $2-3 per miles loads in tanker a lot. Why do you think we're the only division getting paid a lower percentage of line haul? If you run hard and that means just staying out on the road in tanker. You can make six figures in tanker running a little over 2k miles a week.

Again I'm just sharing my experience and what I have seen. Make your own choices. Your experience may be different.

 

Thank you. I'm trying to finish my training videos now but the phone keeps vibrating, lol. My lease/upgrade class is on Monday but I'm doing all they will let me do today. It's coming. I promise you all will know my whole lease experience.

 

Update:

My classes are done for today. Remember those training books/videos I was talking about? Turns out they already have a video series teaching everything you need to know to drive and work in Tanker Division. The surge and everything, they have a video for it already. They just don't show it until after you finish your TnT for some reason. You have a quiz on it to make sure you know and that goes in your file. After that they have another class on the finer points of being a tanker yanker for Prime. They also go over your quiz with you to make sure you know it.

All I have left is the Smith System class and my lease class. Everybody teaches the Smith System that I've worked for so I'll just be sharing the lease info as I get it. Probably the same stuff IP is always talking about. I'm off until Sunday!

Hi everybody!

My update is done. The Upgrade Process:

Smith System Class w/ Driving Skill Test (On simulator)
6 Normal Classes
20 Computer Training Modules (19 if you are company)
Passport Application (Recommended)
Aflac (Optional)

Tanker is a small fleet. I already had my FM, Road Assist, Log Auditor and Payroll contact information.

I will get my permit book and equipment when I get your truck. (No account to charge equipment to with out a truck.) The truck I want will be ready for me to look it over tomorrow.

I will still be answering questions here but my leasing experience thread will be up after I get my truck set up. I love you guys but business first.

If want to put my name on an application just put down GunMetal345. It's also my handle in the system here.

Thanks for reading. I hope it helped you.

GunMetal345 out!

P.S. This is the most comprehensive training I have ever had in trucking. Everything you need to know to be successful as a lease or company driver is given to you in the classes. You have to pass each test with a score of 100% before you can upgrade. Those two idiot trainers were just that. Two idiots that don't want to be as profitable as possible. The first guy will need to retraining before he can train again and that's from the company and the head of safety. (Yes, I went all the way up the chain on that guy. Nobody deserves to go through that. I had to make sure he won't act a fool with anybody else.)
