Xuela Xi Review of Prime Inc.
If you are an inexperienced driver and need a CDL,...
If you are an inexperienced driver and need a CDL, this is the place to be.
Also, dont let them tell you that you cant do dedicated right out of training, because you can, and I did without any problems.
If you dont want to do OTR you can tell your dispatch. At far as I know Prime has a Walmart dedicated route.
Tell your dispatch to give you info to the dispatcher in charge of Walmart dedicated and Express to them your intentions if dedicated is what you want to do.
Also there are other dedicated routes out there. Just ask and be sure to talk to your fellow employees. They can do more for you most times then what dispatch can do.
Also Prime will never have you sitting. There are plenty of loads.
Also, you have a choice to be either trained in Flatbed, Intermodal, Refrigerated/Dry Van, or Tanker.
Flatbed and Tanker make the most money and intermodal has excellent local jobs that pay well.
They'll always push for you to learn refrigerated/Box because it pays less and is needed more.
But the money is in:
#1 flatbed
#2 Tanker
Also when doing your second half of training.
Notate all miles driven.
Your trainer will try to milk you so you can go over your 30000 miles.
Because the longer you stay on his truck, the more he makes.
You'll be guaranteed $700 while hell be getting the extra money from the none stop loads you'll be making for him because you'll be "team drivers"
So as soon as you hit 30000 contact your dispatch and ask to be able to get back to take your CDL test (if and when you're ready).
Then you'll be off with your own truck.
Good luck
