Profile For Joe H.

I started a ran a small business for 6 years. I also beat 2 IRS Audits. I will be leasing a truck as well. Its true about the AGI but you dont want to go broke paying uncle sam either. The easiest way to track and keep your reciepts is to use shoeboxed.com. i use them for years and basically you mail them your reciepts and they scan them. Then they mail the originals back. They give you an itemized report at the end of the year. Make sure you write in each reciept that you are claiming as business expense the reason. Example; coat purchased due to working up north during the winter. While you are on the road never spend any personal money. The business has to cover your expenses. Any item needed for work is a write off. Gas, food, clothing, medical expenses, lawyer fees, repair, showers, entertainment etc...organization is the key.

My girlfriend and my 9 month old little girl..she is my first and only. I start Prime on Monday. I am doing this for her so i will have something for her but i will miss her smile and laugh every second...

They have trainers in the tanker division, not sure how many. Also not sure how much drop and hook freight they have. If you are on Facebook join the prime drivers past, present, future page. I know there is tanker guys on that page.

They do have tanker trainers, but not many. Hence, the reason why trainers from the reefer side are often used.

Thats what my recruiter told me and I am confused....If i dont get a tanker trainer the does that mean I have to train twice or what???

I don't drive for Prime but I seriously considered their tanker division when I graduated from trucking school. From what the recruiter told me, and other tanker drivers for Prime, average miles in the Northeast would be 1500-1800 miles a week. Out for around 14 days at a time. Lots of owner operators as tanker drivers for Prime. Possibility of having to do some training with a reefer driver before being assigned your own truck in the tanker division.

Mileage could vary depending on region. In the Northeast, most miles stayed in the Northeast, maybe a little into the Midwest and Southeast. Not many cross country runs. I'd be curious if you stay on the east coast too since you're out of the southeast.

Nice thing about Prime is that it's food grade - if you're not into hauling chemicals.

Thank you wow the northeast huh? Well I am confused because would I have to train 3 months with a reefer guy then train 3 months with a tanker guy?

Hello I will start orientation on Monday, January 18th 2016. I am looking to hear about the Tanker Division from someone currently driving for Prime. I already have my Class A with Tanker and Hazmat Endorsement. I have not driven since 2011 so I have to go back through the training program. I am trying to find out the average miles you get? Is it mainly drop and hook? Do you have any tanker trainers or will I end up with someone for 3 months that's not in the Tanker division? You really don't find to much info or post from tanker drivers on the internet.
