About Time you do a video 😂😂😂 Good information brother now I’m thinking about Lease instead, very good video 💯💯💯💯 if you could do a month recap on pay and regular truck bills that would be great 👍🏾👍🏾 #slimegang✅✅✅✅
Yeah finally got around to it😂. I got you though. Might be a sec because I’m training right now so numbers are a little off, but I’ll definitely see what I can do for you. 💯💯
New sub! My best friend went to Prime but I chose to let MI state pay for my CDL. Got mine with all endorsements at 53 but I retired at 50 from corporate work. Came home in May due to the guy I worked for passed away. So now I'm home job hunting hopefully to go back out in July. God bless y'all who lease because at my stage in life all I have is my 7yr old pomeranian and I've downsized my life. 2 daughter's are 25 & 26, no grandchildren but I love the road....
Can you please find out does prime take folks out of Florida Miami's Preferably please found out I really appreciate cuz I'm definitely getting my CDL n the future. New subbie please keep us posted Thank you 😊💯
Hey so as far a I know they are still holding off on new FL students coming in because of the market right now. I don’t know if it’s different if you already have a cdl because I heard of a tnt student from FL, but he already came in with a cdl. My sister lives in Florida too and she had to go to our sister company Wilson logistics and then is planning to come to prime later on. She just got hers 2 weeks ago. They might have changed it back since last month since loads are picking up for the summer. I would call a recruiter to verify. Hope this helps😁
Con about company is I have only been home 3 times a year when do go you only have 6 days max . I been out most of year home times not all that . Now if lease you can go home if when need if you have money to cover .
Preciate that. It will be tough some days but it will most definitely be worth it. Just have a plan with trucking and don’t let anything or anyone distract you from your goals. Trust me there will be lots of temptation and opinions. Stay safe Driver
How much driving experience do you need to be a lease purchase? I have a CDL but, been working electrical work to be home. Haven't driven for for a while. Is it a walk away lease or are you locked in? Just asking cause I have 30k saved. But, I'm wanting to my own truck and authority one day. Just thinking of leasing for a little while to save more funds to start my own authority, then hire a driver so I can retire. Your thoughts on that?
Not yet but it’s coming. I actually touched on that subject on @slimepack_392 channel and her video will be dropping soon. I will do myself as well though going in more detail
Preciate the sub. As a solo I usually average a range of about 2200 to 3000 miles. Every now and the a little over 3000. But I will as a lease you are not chasing miles, your chasing revenue. You want most pay for least amount of miles. As company yes you absolutely want as much miles as possible. Hope this helped 😁💯
First and second pay as a lease with no off days. $1400 $246 😢 Low key wanna quit. But i was told the 3rd one is a big pay check. Something is not adding up. I got a family to take of and this last check killed me. Luckily, my VA disability saved me.
Hit me in my email. Vagamademe@gmail.com and maybe we can chop it up to help you out. You will have some down weeks. And I had a check like that during my first month as well but it shouldn’t be a constant thing. Hit me up and I can give you some tips
I ask the same question of those promoting company lease; "Can you post your pretax net and total miles" and as of now, nobody wants to answer. I wonder why?
Benefits are offered to W2 (company) employees. As a 1099 (business owner) you are responsible for the expenses to pay for health coverage and retirement.
@@zoreenagraham6327Without a lift gate you disqualify yourself from getting certain loads. eg you can only load from a dock but with a lift , a pallet jack does the trick
Prime takes 52% to 62% of what they are paid from load revenue. Sales (broker) and the company, while the lease driver pays all expenses. This is why Prime doesn't let the lease drivers see the rate con.
Nothing as far as that goes. I came to prime with $200 to my name. During TNT I saved enough to get my main supplies like my gps, atlas, fridge , and few other things. When I signed my contract I knew I needed to immediately start my efund. I did $250 a week to go over there and I stayed out almost 2 months straight. Then when I started going home I would try and do only 3-4 days at a time, that way I could still get a load to cover truck payments. Now I do 1/3 of fixed cost per week so that after 3 weeks out, if I wanted to I can afford to take a week off. Doing these things this ran up ⬆️ my efund so I let the TRUCK cover break down cost or anything else random. Hope this helped
Imma pay myself a flat salary ( I feel $1,100 is fair when unless it’s just a bad week in that case company gotta get paid before you do, but regardless 1100 a week flat salary, rest goes to the company account, what’s your opinion in that matter?
Yeah man I think that’s good. Just make sure you set a business account to keep everything separate and even if it’s only a little going to the business, it will grow fast as long as you don’t touch it. For me personally I fluctuate. Sometimes I’ll pay my business the majority for awhile until I save a certain number only because I’m trying to own a truck one day. Then I’ll focus back on my personal and let that build up. You should be successful though with your plan. Hope I could help😁
With prime no you can’t have any animals while training. I know they have kennels and pet daycare at the terminal, but I don’t know how long they are able to stay while your training. My sister though is with our sister company Wilson logistics and her trainer had a dog. I think prime just doesn’t do it for liability reasons, like if student is allergic or if pet might be a distraction for them. Hope this helped
I am currently a lease owner operator with prime and I have been noticing after accepting a load my estimated revenue drops from what the initial estimated revenue was. Can anyone who’s been a prime driver for a while explain this please? For example I’ll get a pre plan and it’ll say it’s paying $4,100 and I’ll accept it but then after a day or 2 it’ll drop to 3,900 Can someone please explain this. Thanks.
@@guigmabouba2252 I did and all he says is asking sales. Then eventually I have to reach out again because he doesn’t keep me up to date on what sales said. Then he’ll say KEEP IN MIND ITS ONLY AN ESTIMATED REVENUE WHEN I ACCEPTED THE LOAD. But I never see an increase in the estimated revenue. I ONLY SEE IT DROP..
@Truck_life ahh. You in reefer? I'd be interested to know your general revenue per mile / average weekly. I'm trying to convince myself to go to prime - just the speed of the truck is what kills me. (Coming from someone who used to roll at 74)
True that. Never thought about it that way but yeah it might make it more attractive. I will say though the earning potential is way better as lease. You just have to be willing to run hard and manage your fuel. Great observation though seriously 😁
Bro I'm thinking about coming to prime too but with a friend , are they gonna partner us together? And if you got tickets over 3 years do you still gotta put on the application?
This is video was needed man. Coming to prime very soon!!

You can take off any time you want as a lease driver, BUT, the truck still gets paid by you. Remember, the truck ALWAYS gets paid first.
Are you going to work or did you become a truck driver to take time off??🤦

I've heard people say.. never lease from the people you are working for.. what are your thoughts on this concept
I'm not getting my CDL to take time off, that sounds really stupid!!🤦
What’s your opinion on reg. lease vs lease to own with prime ?
Going lease and making weekly payments, how long does it take to pay that truck off?
Yes all the time i even asked my dispatch guess what no accurate answer
I'm in CDL school now. I'm so happy I found you and @Slimepack392. Y'all help keep me motivated 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Very transparent video.
How many years you have to pay off the truck?
Do a video on being a trainer n how long it takes n the pay of that
Not yet but it’s coming. I actually touched on that subject on @slimepack_392 channel and her video will be dropping soon. I will do myself as well though going in more detail
Did you have to do a down payment?
Cant imagine driving one of them slow ass trucks. Id go crazy.
Getting 10 mpg though.
Facts !!! 😂😂😂
What all do you do for write offs?
what do lease drivers at prime make per year on average?
I'm new to Prime, still training, this video was very helpful, I'm leaning towards leasing. How many miles do you average a week? I subbed btw.
Preciate the sub. As a solo I usually average a range of about 2200 to 3000 miles. Every now and the a little over 3000. But I will as a lease you are not chasing miles, your chasing revenue.

First and second pay as a lease with no off days.

How much is truck payment ever week
With my first 3k i ll stack it up with my last one 😅
I ask the same question of those promoting company lease; "Can you post your pretax net and total miles" and as of now, nobody wants to answer. I wonder why?
Have you ever driven for Prime?
@@VaGaMadeMe No. I answered your question, please answer mine.
As company, can you take the truck to your home state for when you need to take home time?
From my understanding yes. That is your assigned truck
Fam you look JUST like truckingnwithtay 😂 yall might be related
Do they still offer you benefits through lease? Health, Dental, Vision, 401 etc?
Benefits are offered to W2 (company) employees. As a 1099 (business owner) you are responsible for the expenses to pay for health coverage and retirement.
which is more important on a small box truck, 12 to 16 foot, a liftgate or swing doors?
In my personal opinion I would say lift gate for sure
@@VaGaMadeMe thanks

Be specific with where and how you know this about prime.. don't bury the lead
How much did you had saved up before you started your lease. To help you out just in case break down and stuff ?
Nothing as far as that goes. I came to prime with $200 to my name. During TNT I saved enough to get my main supplies like my gps, atlas, fridge , and few other things.

how long have you been driving? how long have you been with prime?@@VaGaMadeMe
Lease is the same as company if you can’t control the truck
Lease gang 👇🔥
Don’t you have to make a payment every week as a lease driver? And is it true your lease payment is close to 50 percent of your weekly earnings?
Exactly
Imma pay myself a flat salary ( I feel $1,100 is fair when unless it’s just a bad week in that case company gotta get paid before you do, but regardless 1100 a week flat salary, rest goes to the company account, what’s your opinion in that matter?
