When I started prime was my only choice that I truly wanted. Maverick seemed like a decent back up plan, but my sight was set on prime and thats where I ended up. I think you should be fine, you just have to get on with them and prove yourself and you'll be good to go

Pfg and Sysco are going to offer pretty much the same work environment. Both delivering to restaurants. If recommend to look at their benefits, pay, etc and see who seems like you'd be happier with.

You don't necessarily do 10k as a psd, I think I did around 5k maybe, once your ready to test out and your trainer agrees you go back to test and once you pass they credit you for the 10k miles towards your training. The tnt phase takes 5-6 weeks if you and your trainer run hard and goes by quicker than you'd think. As far as a truck a lightweight is great fit for a single person but a pet would make it cramped and another person even worse. Prime won't let you modify the truck in any way that can't be undone to the way the truck looked when you recieved it.

Time to get my popcorn ready

Also disregard the fuel bonus being fractions of a penny, it ranges from 1.7 cpm up to 8.2 cpm on the top end of pay

Kenny, you won't go home during psd phase, which will take 2-3 weeks to get through. Prime prefers students to stay out at least 2 weeks into tnt which you enter once obtaining your license. Personally I only went home once prior to upgrading to solo because I wanted to get through training asap. You start earning the 700 per week once you get your license and are hired by prime, paid at 100 per day.

Prime would've paid you good during training. Since I've gone solo, I'm averaging 850-1200 a week after taxes and health insurance. Obviously with ethic plays a part in your potential income. You might want to see if they will possibly give you another chance. You would be mostly team driving once the trainer sees you are capable of driving and time goes by quick.

Congrats on three years man, glad you and your wife for some nice quality time together

I've had blow outs and haven't been charged, but as said if you hit a curb and that makes it pop, then you might get charged. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just be aware of your surroundings.

With prime they bus you to Springfield mo. They charge a 100 dollar processing fee and day to bring 50 for your permit. You sign a one year agreement, if you leave before 6 months you pay I believe 3600, if you leave between 6 months to a year you pay 1700. Upon completion of a year you are free and clear and only had to pay that initial 100. They don't deduct payments from you. They will put you up in their hotel until you leave with a trainer and also provide you 3 meals a day for your first week. They also provide your dot physical so you don't have to pay for that. While driving on your permit they loan you 200 per week that is paid back interest free in small payments once you get your license and are hired. They pay 700 a week for the remainder of your training once your hired. I was in a similar spot as you when I started, my parents business closed so I was working for a tell service barely scraping by and convinced my wife to let me make the plunge into driving and financially we haven't looked back since.
