Thanks for the responses. I'll also let my DM know. I'll ask to see if they have any regional position available. Thanks you.

My one year contract with Prime is over on the 12 of January, and I'm planning to get a regional position. I'm planning to send HR a message on the qualcomm today to let them know that I'm resigning on the 13th as a 2 week notice. Is a message on the qualcomm enough? Thanks.

For Prime drivers is there a way to look up the contract we signed at PSD on the app? If not, who can we contact to get a copy of the contract?

During my home time I was offered a decent local driving position. However I don't know if I'm still under the one year contract with Prime. If the contract includes the time we spent on the PSD phase then I'm good, but If it doesn't start until we are officially hired at the start of the TNT phase then I'll have to wait a few more weeks and might lose out on this position. I went to the app and under the contracts tab there's is nothing there., but I do remember signing a contract. Does anyone know where I can find out who to contact to find out when my contract ends? Thanks in advance.

Currently working at Prime and I'm on my way home after getting unloaded. I will need to fuel before getting home and since I'm not dispatched on any loads right now I don't have a trip number. I can't remember if you can just skip the option to put a trip number, but if i can't what do I put to be able to fuel? Thanks.

Would i get in trouble for this?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I just got a message from my DM saying that requested a re schedule so I'll still be able to deliver the load.

Would i get in trouble for this?

Yesterday I stoped for the night with only 2 hours left on my 70 hour clock. I had a delivery about 100 miles away from the TA where I stopped and would be getting a little over 5 hours back at midnight, so i figured I'd do 10 hour break there and start in the morning again. I started driving at 5 in the morning and got to my delivery at around 7 (there was a lot of construction and speed restrictions along the way). I had 5 hour of driving time left on my clock and i got a load sent to me with a pickup that was 65 miles from my location and then 545 miles to the delivery. So I pick up the load and started driving. I stopped with 34 minutes left on my clock and 385 miles to the delivery location. The delivery is due at 4:20 in the morning at a Walmart Distribution Center and I won't be able to start driving until midnight when I get 11 hours back on my clock. I contacted my DM to let him know that i wouldn't be able to deliver it on time due to not having enough hours on my clock. He then asked me why i didn't reject the load if i didn't have time on my clock. I've been driving solo for less than a month after finishing training and wasn't aware that company drivers could reject a load, so that's why I didn't reject it. He told me he would try to get it repowered so i could be delivered on time. I worried if this would count against me and i could get in trouble. What do you guys think? And also does that mean I won't get paid for the miles I drove today for this load?

How does per diem work at Prime INC?

I recently finished my TNT phase at Prime INC and I'm trying to make a budget for when I'm on the road. My trainer told me he would hire me to drive his truck that's in the Prime fleet. I was told that Prime has per diem for their company drivers and was wondering if I would still be getting per diem if I'm being payed by my trainer. From what I understood, I still get access to the benefits offered to Prime company drivers (I think), but would be receiving my pay from my trainer. Does that mean I don't get it since I'm technically being payed by someone else? Thanks in advance for the help.
