Profile For Philip P.

Alright, Thanks guys for all the feedback. I'm starting with Prime and will be getting 36 cents a mile after the first 40000. Before that I will be making 12 cents a mile or 600 a week which ever is greater. I will also be signing up for a year with Prime and waiting for 75 hours of driving before I get into the B seat. If I do get the 5000 miles a week thats great. But I'm not sure what to expect from Prime.

Ok I have been doing alot of web searching and have received no clear answers as to the truth. Now I know the answers will vary from person to person and I'm sure that there is no clear answer. But on Average what can a OTR driver expect to make first year, and then from there out. Thanks for all your answers.

Alright guys I choose prime trucking out of Springfield, mo and I will start orientation on August 6. I am thrilled to be getting started but what I need to know now is what are the best things to take considering I will be training and getting my CDL through them.

I've seen the posts on the site about the driving schools and what they offer. I've also seen the prices range from 2500 to $6000. I know there are alot of drivers out there that can chime in on this so I'll just ask the question strait up. Which school is the best for the money spent and the experience gained. Also, is it best to stick with the company that trained you for a given amount of time or would it be better to get trained then find an opportunity somewhere else. Thanks for your comments. Phil
