Preciate that encouragement bro

Yeah finally got around to it😂. I got you though. Might be a sec because I’m training right now so numbers are a little off, but I’ll definitely see what I can do for you. 💯💯

Man you hit the nail on the head. Preciate that man

Thanks bro

Preciate that @Brown Bagz. Sorry for the loss and best wishes to you. Can’t wait to see you out here Driver

Thank you glad I could help a little bit

Preciate that man💯

Yo what’s good bro! Man I’ve been asking everybody I could contact what your number was man. Bro we have to chop it up 📞 soon man. Hope all is well

@@VaGaMadeMe I been good bro, I left prime after my tnt and got a job at home driving dump truck

Email me when you get a chance man and we’ll get the details together. Don’t really want to say on here. Vagamademe@gmail.com

Are you going to work or did you become a truck driver to take time off??🤦

@@freddydelatorre1485more to life than working yourself down to the ground

@@Davinciblack_ thank you Captain obvious!!

Preciate that. It will be tough some days but it will most definitely be worth it. Just have a plan with trucking and don’t let anything or anyone distract you from your goals. Trust me there will be lots of temptation and opinions. Stay safe Driver

How much driving experience do you need to be a lease purchase? I have a CDL but, been working electrical work to be home. Haven't driven for for a while. Is it a walk away lease or are you locked in? Just asking cause I have 30k saved. But, I'm wanting to my own truck and authority one day. Just thinking of leasing for a little while to save more funds to start my own authority, then hire a driver so I can retire. Your thoughts on that?

Hey so as far a I know they are still holding off on new FL students coming in because of the market right now. I don’t know if it’s different if you already have a cdl because I heard of a tnt student from FL, but he already came in with a cdl. My sister lives in Florida too and she had to go to our sister company Wilson logistics and then is planning to come to prime later on. She just got hers 2 weeks ago. They might have changed it back since last month since loads are picking up for the summer. I would call a recruiter to verify. Hope this helps😁

That’s changed I’m at prime right now!! Test out this week and have a couple of guys from Miami here

Not yet but it’s coming. I actually touched on that subject on @slimepack_392 channel and her video will be dropping soon. I will do myself as well though going in more detail

Hit me in my email. Vagamademe@gmail.com and maybe we can chop it up to help you out. You will have some down weeks. And I had a check like that during my first month as well but it shouldn’t be a constant thing. Hit me up and I can give you some tips

Getting 10 mpg though.

Facts !!! 😂😂😂

Preciate the sub. As a solo I usually average a range of about 2200 to 3000 miles. Every now and the a little over 3000. But I will as a lease you are not chasing miles, your chasing revenue. You want most pay for least amount of miles. As company yes you absolutely want as much miles as possible. Hope this helped 😁💯

@VaGaMadeMe that helped tremendously, thanks for the reply, you just seal why I should lease! Thanks!

Benefits are offered to W2 (company) employees. As a 1099 (business owner) you are responsible for the expenses to pay for health coverage and retirement.

From my understanding yes. That is your assigned truck

Have you ever driven for Prime?

@@VaGaMadeMe No. I answered your question, please answer mine.

In my personal opinion I would say lift gate for sure

@@VaGaMadeMe thanks

@@zoreenagraham6327Without a lift gate you disqualify yourself from getting certain loads. eg you can only load from a dock but with a lift , a pallet jack does the trick

Nothing as far as that goes. I came to prime with $200 to my name. During TNT I saved enough to get my main supplies like my gps, atlas, fridge , and few other things. When I signed my contract I knew I needed to immediately start my efund. I did $250 a week to go over there and I stayed out almost 2 months straight. Then when I started going home I would try and do only 3-4 days at a time, that way I could still get a load to cover truck payments. Now I do 1/3 of fixed cost per week so that after 3 weeks out, if I wanted to I can afford to take a week off. Doing these things this ran up ⬆️ my efund so I let the TRUCK cover break down cost or anything else random. Hope this helped

how long have you been driving? how long have you been with prime?@@VaGaMadeMe

Exactly

Have you ever driven for prime?

@@VaGaMadeMe Reefer? NO!!! Reefer sucks.

Be specific with where and how you know this about prime.. don't bury the lead

Yeah man I think that’s good. Just make sure you set a business account to keep everything separate and even if it’s only a little going to the business, it will grow fast as long as you don’t touch it. For me personally I fluctuate. Sometimes I’ll pay my business the majority for awhile until I save a certain number only because I’m trying to own a truck one day. Then I’ll focus back on my personal and let that build up. You should be successful though with your plan. Hope I could help😁

@@VaGaMadeMe absolutely man I appreciate it a lot, I start orientation July 5th

@@austinbarber9901 ay that’s awesome man stay with it driver and push through those hard days💪😎

@@VaGaMadeMe absolutely brother, tell ol slimepack what’s up for me

@@austinbarber9901 lol 10/4

With prime no you can’t have any animals while training. I know they have kennels and pet daycare at the terminal, but I don’t know how long they are able to stay while your training. My sister though is with our sister company Wilson logistics and her trainer had a dog. I think prime just doesn’t do it for liability reasons, like if student is allergic or if pet might be a distraction for them. Hope this helped

@@VaGaMadeMe that makes a lot of sense. Thanks bro

@@ekeyvill7805 no problem at all

Yessir that’s what I did

Thanks

You need to talk with your dispatcher they can solve it

@@guigmabouba2252 I did and all he says is asking sales. Then eventually I have to reach out again because he doesn’t keep me up to date on what sales said. Then he’ll say KEEP IN MIND ITS ONLY AN ESTIMATED REVENUE WHEN I ACCEPTED THE LOAD. But I never see an increase in the estimated revenue. I ONLY SEE IT DROP..

What division are you in? 4100 is nice lol.

@@TwitchyHarp That was just an example but I have gotten loads that do pay $4,100 but it usually will take up my whole week before I drop it👎🏽

@Truck_life ahh. You in reefer? I'd be interested to know your general revenue per mile / average weekly. I'm trying to convince myself to go to prime - just the speed of the truck is what kills me. (Coming from someone who used to roll at 74)

Ay come on with it bro

@@VaGaMadeMe 4sho

Bro I'm thinking about coming to prime too but with a friend , are they gonna partner us together? And if you got tickets over 3 years do you still gotta put on the application?

True that. Never thought about it that way but yeah it might make it more attractive. I will say though the earning potential is way better as lease. You just have to be willing to run hard and manage your fuel. Great observation though seriously 😁

Dang facts tho😂😂

As solo monthly average is about 2k per week for me. Sometimes a little higher or lower

I think everyone is definitely feeling the market. Still remaining profitable overall thankfully, but definitely not as good as last year lol
