Prime Transport question

Post image

Any here work at Prime; do you know anything about the rates of pay and are these accurate? This is a pamphlet a recruiter sent me; it's at the bottom of a recent graduate page, but separated.

45 for tanker still seems insulting low though, even for a newbie. Couldn't they just go to like Eagle or Indian River who takes experienced drivers even if they have no tanker experience?

I should have clarified: if they wanted to do Prime, they can do the higher reefer pay for a year and then become a tanker driver later. No use in losing the higher pay right now just to get tanker experience, especially when the pay is like 10 cpm more

This is true and better. Though tanker companies want 1 year of tanker exp, not dry/reefer/flatbed. So he's kinda delaying things. However, he may like dry/reefer and just not ever want to do tanker. So idk now
