Thanks for watching our Tanker Q&A, Lou!

Awesome! Thanks for watching. If you're ready to apply, you can online at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube. Or, give our recruiters a call at 888-664-9121 for more information.

That's great! Let us know if you have any questions we can help answer. Here is our program for CDL School Graduates: primeinc.com/cdl-school-grad.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING so its 40,000 tnt if you are coming in from a cdl school and 30,000 if you attend prime school ?

Yes. The reasoning behind that is because our drivers get on the road driving/training with us pre-CDL Exam which typically amounts to around 10k training miles. Hope that makes sense!

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING It does. So what does that take on average 5-6 weeks? Is that continuous on the road during that time? Do you try and pair people up with a trainer in their general home area?

Great question! This typically will take you less than a month. You can always give our recruiters a call at 888-664-9121 for more information.

Great! We look forward to seeing you in Springfield soon. Thanks for watching our Tanker Q&A!

How are you doing?

With 4 divisions at Prime, there are plenty of options for drivers. It's worth looking into the tanker division.

Same for Utah

I've always heard it's because there isn't a lot of industry in Florida so it's very hard to get freight out of Florida.

Thanks for watching our video!

Great question! We are hiring out of northern Louisiana in the tanker division. If you go for regional-non kosher tanker division home time is 1-2 weeks. If you do OTR tanker division, then you are looking at 3-4 weeks home time. Ultimately you would have even more options if you are open to flatbed or refrigerated.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING thank you, I am in the middle of the lease purchase with prime right now but i just needed to know what division would be available for me since I love tankers but I don’t do northeast and I prefer stay more close to home

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING just an update, I just got a call from the prime recruiter saying that in order to qualify for lease purchase I need to be with a trainer for 2 months on the road because since I’ve been working regional for so long I need to get more experience in over the road, this is just ridiculous 15 years driving tractor trailers with an impeccable driving record and she said I need more experience??? Probably I’ll have to teach the trainer that probably have less experience and years driving than me, what a shame prime

Hello! We do offer a Northeast Reginal for tanker. You can reach out to our recruiting department for more information at 888-664-9121.

Hi Ross! Great question. There is no requirement to drive in our Refrigerated division. As long as you live in our hiring area for the Tanker division, you're welcome to jump right in! For more information, give our recruiters a call at 888-664-9121.

We would love to have you join the Prime family! In regards to the truck, as long as your truck met all our safety requirements and was a 2019 model or newer, you could use your own truck to haul for Prime. The trailers are all company trailers.

During the Prime CDL Training Program, you will be able to choose from our four divisions: Tanker, Refrigerated, Flatbed, and Intermodal - which is also determined by where you live.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING can you bring your own truck to tanker division ?

Unfortunately this is correct. Most of our tanker business is out of the East/Northeast.

We have TNT trainers in all 3 divisions, so we try to pair you with a trainer in the division you choose. For the tanker division, you will also go through Tanker bootcamp to prepare you to operate your own truck!

Yes

Yes! We have opportunities to team drive in the Tanker Division. If you're interested, you can apply online at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube.

It depends on location. Reach out to our recruiting department for more information! 888-664-9121

We just pulled the last 13-week averages for all divisions. For Tanker, average solo company driver paychecks are around $1050-1150. Year to date average miles is 2000-2200 for active drivers. Top performers are averaging around $1250 a week. For independent contractors, 13 week rolling average settlement is $1426. Year to date average is $1388. Top performers are averaging $2200-2500 a week.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING Why is that? Thats horrible pay for the risk of driving tanks. Will pay rate increase or possibly miles?

Can you elaborate on what risks you are referring to? We don’t haul any fuel or hazmat products in our tanks. Only food grade products.

Great question! Yes, you have the option to switch divisions. Being able to switch your current lease truck to Tanker is determined on a case by case basis depending on the term of your truck/contract. To find out if this is a possibility for your lease, give Success Leasing a call at 800-491-1240.

Good morning, Michael! Our drivers are allowed to take their trucks home with them during home time. For more information, give our recruiters a call at 888-664-9121.

Unfortunately, we do not have Tanker in Texas.

Bill, solo company drivers averaged around $1200/week in our tanker division in the last quarter. We have many successful and profitable drivers on both our lease and company sides!

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING That doesnt add up. In the video they said tanker drivers average 1500-1700 miles per week. At 53 cents a mile thats nowhere near 1200 a week. Cut the bullshit.

after taxes even less than 1k around 800$ if your lucky

Yes! You would do 40k team Training miles. Here is more info for CDL school graduates: primeinc.com/cdl-school-grad.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING Does prime try to keep new drivers away from five boroughs of New York until experience dictates?

We do go into the boroughs in Tanker, but it's very, very rare. If you would have any concerns, you would just want to communicate that with your Fleet Manager if it did come up.

@Sean Cleary your gonna do a whole bunch training !

Thanks for the question! We do have condo’s in the tanker division. We do use lightweight trucks in our Tanker Regional routes out of Fort Wayne/Decatur, IN and Bellevue/Sandusky, OH. Some of those loads are loaded at 50K lbs which requires the lightweight trucks which are smaller, and those drivers are around the house more often.

From my understanding we do not have tanker opportunities in California at this time. We do have other divisions to check out in your area, including our intermodal division near Los Angeles.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING cool, thanks. I start orientation April 25!

Great question. Most drivers are able to plan out their trips so they can run when they want. With that being said, there are most likely going to be times you'd have to run at night.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING thanks

Thanks for the question! According to Brett Vonwiller, the manager of the Tanker division, we do not have any Owner Operators with their own authority in the Tanker division. However, we have several Owner Operators who have paid off the truck. It would cost around $5,500.00 to set your truck up for Tanker.

From my understanding, we do not have regional opportunities in that area for the flatbed division. We do have OTR options available.

Must be 21 or older to drive for Prime.

Unfortunately we are limiting our new hires out of FL right now. You can still reach out to a recruiter at 888-664-9121.

That would be a question for our recruiting department. It does look like we only hire out of the north east portion of Texas for the tanker division, but we may have extended it since I checked last.

Unfortunately, we do not have anything in tanker in the SLC area. On a good note, there are plenty of opportunities in the other divisions of Prime! Have you ever considered the refrigerated, flatbed or intermodal?

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING what would the lanes be for intermodal? I’ve done flatbed but not reefer. And with intermodal what is the percentage and workload?

Thanks for the question! The hydropak is already installed on the truck and you would need to purchase fittings. It depends on which side of the Tanker business you'd like to go, but anywhere from $300 to $600 for fittings that you put on payments.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKINGThanks for replying. I own my own truck through the Ace Lease program so will those costs apply for me?

For an Ace Lease in the Tanker division, these costs would be around $7,500.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING ok thanks

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING Might be a strange question but why would an employee have to buy fittings for equipment that is owned by the company?
