Company Trainers Vs Lease Trainers
Topic 15855 | Page 3
Thanks and will do. Mine is myethos@gmail.com name is Aristotle. Should be at prime in mid septemberish... Looks like you'll have the pick of the lot of eager recruits!
Here is a pertinent question: What is the employee status of a recruit after he gets his cdl license for TNT training at Prime? Are they an employee of Prime and get paid training pay by Prime on a company trainer truck? Or if on a lease trainers truck is he/she leased to the trainer (did I read that correctly earlier?)? Is there a legal status for this like a 1099? Not sure just wondering from what I read earlier. Have to do child support and wondering how to declare employment status when the time comes. Also what is the ratio of company to lease trainers at prime and are they incentivized the same? Got me curious now... What makes a trainer

Prime Inc has their own CDL training program and it's divided into two phases - PSD and TNT.
The PSD (Prime Student Driver) phase is where you'll get your permit and then go on the road for 10,000 miles with a trainer. When you come back you'll get your CDL license and enter the TNT phase.
The TNT phase is the second phase of training where you'll go on the road with an experienced driver for 30,000 miles of team driving. You'll receive 14ยข per mile ($700 per week guaranteed) during this phase. Once you're finished with TNT training you will be assigned a truck to run solo.
