  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.

Prime covers everything but 150.00. One of the big Advantages of prime is they loan you 200.00 a week interest free to help with expenses on the road. Also after you finish your prime student drivers phase and pass your CDL they pay you a guarantee of 700.00 per week during your TNT phase. Also they have their own hotel and cafeteria on sight the first week your there. And it's very well maintained the food is not bad either with a fairly big variety.

TNT:

Trainer-N-Trainee

Prime Inc has their own CDL training program and it's divided into two phases - PSD and TNT.

The PSD (Prime Student Driver) phase is where you'll get your permit and then go on the road for 10,000 miles with a trainer. When you come back you'll get your CDL license and enter the TNT phase.

The TNT phase is the second phase of training where you'll go on the road with an experienced driver for 30,000 miles of team driving. You'll receive 14ยข per mile ($700 per week guaranteed) during this phase. Once you're finished with TNT training you will be assigned a truck to run solo.

What is there home time like due to having a family at and its just for a heads up. And is the two hundred a week part of the tuition also??

To be honest that is the one area that may disagree with you. They like you to run 3 to 4 weeks at a time. With a day off for every 7 worked
