I was wondering if any of the Prime drivers could tell me if they pay Practical miles, Hub miles, or HHG - zip code to zip code? Thanks in advance for the info I hope to be in Pittston on 8/17 for orientation as a "C" seat driver. Just have to pass the upcoming DMV test.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

DMV:

Department of Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Motor Vehicles

The state agency that handles everything related to your driver's licences, including testing, issuance, transfers, and revocation.

Thank you Daniel, school is over and passed - good grades even! DMV test should be easy, our instructor at school made sure the schools testing was far more difficult than the VA DMV test is. Looking forward to getting started with Prime in a c seat position - sorry to hear about the hhg miles but not thwarted by it at all. Be safe brother!

Col. O, may I ask what school you went to in VA? I'm also considering schooling and am looking at options. Thank you!

Typically there isn't a huge difference in the paid miles vs what's driven, but sometimes it hurts a little. Luckily they can't go over a large body of water example Miami to Pensacola it has to go up and over instead of across gulf of Mexico. For instance this load I'm on has 60 miles in not paid for but for a 1200 mile run I'll gladly take that loss.

Sorry for the delay Steven, went to Wytheville Community College, 6 weeks long - much less expensive than the commercial schools. There is also a good chance of getting some financial aid. Good luck man!
