Prime Reefer

Rainy, I've done exactly that, too - come in early like it was my turn. The office can be all anal about appointments, and the dock can still take'em as they come.

But if anyone says "No you're at 7:00," don't argue and go park somewhere. You're doing good!

Okay, dammit Rainey, I want just a little bit of your magic, because obviously your magic is STRONG!! You seem to have it totally dialed in!!

Thanks to all that have relied. This forum is so full of good stuff. Every time I read new posts I get excited all over again for the beginning of my new career.

Hahha thanks. Not magic... determination. I've always been an over achiever which is why failing the backing has been so difficult for me. I usually learn things quickly.

I got unloaded in MD today... way early... and got a 700 mile load that took me thru NJ.... so not only do I get 3100 miles this week.. but I got to spend a night at home yay me ;)

This is a really good week... avg is 2500... but.. each week has that potential. My new load is going to a walmart in OH I've been to several times.... on street parking so I already have planned to get there early then park on the street and wait for my next load.

I stole the thread... but wanted to give true numbers to answer the question. .. and remember I get about $50 to $100 in fuel bonuses.. plus this quarter I got $50 in Prime rewards points that I used for some clothes and a massage at the salon/spa. Detention/multi stop pay is usually $10 to $20 per week.

I hope this helps you

RainyD...I want to be like you when I grow up.

Seriously though, reading your posts gives me inspiration and hope that I can enjoy the same success. You've given a lot of insight into how to make this business really work for you. Two weeks from today, I'll be starting my Prime journey!

I love reading Rainy's posts...always worth it!

First post here. Been watching and reading this site for about 2 months now. Just had a question in your post you say you were able to stop by your house for a night during your delivery. I'm starting with Prime Inc next month and wondering when you do go home do you take your truck and trailer with you. I don't have enough parking for both. I have enough parking for a tractor alone but no way with a trailer. So how does it work. Thank you in advance!

They will have you drop trailer at a nearby drop yard or customer and bobtail home.

Or you find a place nearby that can handle a truck + trailer, like a truck stop, or a cooperative supermarket a few miles from home.

Sean... hi.. normally I bobtail when going home for days. Just drop the trailer at the last customer. This was one night while I was assigned a load. I left my empty teuck n trailer over night at a truck stop nearby then got loaded the next afternoon.

There's a kmart a block from my home that allows me to park bobtail for official hometime. Last time I parked at the truck stop during hometime someone stole the peg keys from my deer guard :(
