Members experience with best companies to start your career with

I started with Prime Inc. April 2014, went through their training program and am still turning miles for them..! I've been both Company Driver and Lease Operator and either way I like the Company and will stay until I go somewhere else...:) Getting the 1st year safely completed was my goal and now it's about making money..Prime offers everything a new driver needs to succeed.

Prime recruitment

Hi John....I say keep after Tammy, she was my recruiter also and sometimes kind of hard to get a hold of but she can work magic and get things pushed through...She probably has several 100 app's in front of her now as we are gearing up for the Spring Hiring Blitz but that's still not an excuse to not respond in a timely manner...!

Freightliner cascadia question/problem

You have to pull out the glove box to get to the fuses...

Scott O. is right you'll need to check the fuses behind the glove box, 4 screws it's easy to remove

Prime Company Drivers Please Read

I'm currently a fb tnt. Can't decide if fb is going to be good money for me or not. I don't mind putting in the work

Hi Kenny...I'm Reefer PSD and TNT Trainer at Prime and think the money will be as good or almost as good in either division. I'd finish the FlatBed TNT, do your upgrade, run for 3 to 6 months and then maybe switch to Reefer or Tanker...

Career Change: 54 too old?

Hey Mike...I started at 52 yrs old and my Current Co-Driver was about 61 when we went through Prime Inc's orientation... Age won't be an issue for you as long as you can pass the DOT Physical and adjust to the lifestyle of a OTR Trucker but being single with no kids should help make it a little easier. Wish I could have done it 15 yrs ago cause I've had a blast and made some good friends & money

Does Knight Transportation use automatic transmissions?

Starting this year (2016) Prime is ordering their trucks with Automatic's, Dispatch said the only way to get a manual is to lease purchase the truck.

Hi Rainy, Prime only counts those against you internally.

Prime Company Drivers Please Read

My Advice is to Start as a Company Driver....Lots of things change quickly when you go Solo and as a Lease Operator you'll Pay the Bills, safer and cheaper to learn while you earn as a Company Driver
