Our Class A CDL training program gives you real-world experience and prepares you for anything that could happen on the road. New classes start every week. You pay NOTHING to join and nothing else as long as you drive for Prime Inc. with your CDL for one year.
Prime will pay for your transportation to our Springfield, MO; Pittston, PA; or Salt Lake City, UT location to start your orientation. Experience hands-on, computer-based, and simulator training before you get behind the wheel.
Work 1-on-1 with an instructor while you learn how to drive a semi truck. You’ll get practice with the necessary components of your CDL exam along with experience hauling freight.
Once your training is finished, you’ll return to your training center to take your state CDL exam. Those who pass on their first try will receive a $250 bonus.
After you pass your CDL exam, you’ll continue to train with a trainer for 30,000 miles. Get experience hauling loads across the country while receiving a guaranteed minimum payment of $900 per week. Guarantee pay is earned as long as you are available for dispatch.
Once your training is completed, you will be eligible for upgrade review. Stay on as a company driver or choose to own your own truck and become an independent contractor. Your options are limitless.

I'm about done with tnt and I can't explain how simple and easy everyone made it . I passed my cdl with prime cause they do a amazing job training u in and out of the truck. Thank you prime and glad to be part of the family.
That's great! We love to hear that. We're proud to have you as part of the Prime family.
Did you get paid while
Doing orientation
Do they pay hourly or mileage when otr?
It is mileage as a company driver. Lease/owner operators get a percentage of the load pay.
These comments are amazing!! I’m so blessed to be able to inspire you all to come to Prime Inc. It’s a great company to start and build an amazing career in the trucking industry ❤️ I love it here❤️❤️❤️
Hello Dee, I'm interested.
I got my cdl 25 year's ago but really never drove. My dad died so had to get a local job . I let my cdl lapse so I want to train make a living make better money.
If you're interested, you can apply online at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube.
I've been following Prime now for two years. Finally in school getting my CDL (decided to go about it on my own for job reasons). Once I'm ready to switch careers I'm joining Prime!
We love to hear that! When you're ready, you can apply online at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube or give our recruiters a call at 888-664-9121.
Prime is an awesome place to learn and work. It is also awesome towards family. Right now my wife is in the end of upgrade eating on a truck, even with a death in family that forced her out of TNT for almost two months, Prime was there kept her spot and only added 10,000 miles to her training once she was able to return. As family I received a family badge giving me equal access to the facilities and as soon as she has a month or two in I will also be coming to Prime and after PSD will do TNT and team with my wife. I can’t put in words how awesome Prime has been and even with not being a current employee I’ve been treated as family and been able to meet and talk with her Fleet Manager multiple times. If you are considering becoming a CDL driver, come to Prime.
Love this company!!!!
We love you!
What a well done and tremendous ad for the company. I've been a fan of Junior Honduras on youtube for some time. He represents the company well. Driving trucks has been an itch of mine that doesn't subside. I just may do it sooner than later!
Thanks for your kind words, Henry! Give us a call when you're ready.
I'm been with prime for one year PSD and T What was a great experience. With being in my own truck I went as Lease operator. I have been successful because of my team. What I mean by my team is my fleet manager's ra logs . They are like my family away from my family. I recommend prime highly because that's where I got my start and that's what I'm gonna end my career
I tried they told had to wait ten years since I had cpl felonies in my past. I no longer live that lifestyle know more and really want to join this great prime family.
We love your enthusiasm and are glad to hear you are making positive moves to better you life. Unfortunately, we do have to wait a considerable amount of time to become eligible to join Prime, as we do have policies in place concerning criminal history. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We wish you the very best.
Just submitted my application 🥳
Great! Looking forward to speaking with you!
I'm scheduled to be in training in salt lake City Utah around the 24th. I'm so excited to start this new career and journey I can't wait it's going to be amazing!❤
This is awesome! Welcome to the team!
Thank you very much I'm very excited.
I’m literally on the way right now as I’m typing this for orientation on Monday! I am so excited words can’t explain!
We are excited to meet you! Safe travels. We'll see you soon!
How did it go
@@postlive5373 I’m currently in psd with my trainer and I’ve learned a lot of stuff in my first 2 weeks on the road. Looking to go back in another week or two to do my test.
@@burakertas7302 keep us updated. Looking to get into this soon
@@burakertas7302how is it so far
I am excited to join the orientation on March 14th at PA .. new career ..new life .I know it will be difficult for a lady to join that field and may be risky to shift career from a banker to a driver ..but high risk =high return
.thanks Prime for the chance 🙏
You got this! You will be amazed how many drivers started out in the same situation. Driving is not easy and it takes a lot of effort and training to get where you need to be, but the more experience you have, the more comfortable you will be. There's just something about being on the road and making a huge difference in our country. Check out the Highway Diamonds group for more inspiring stories from our female drivers.
Do they still offer training even with the new ELDT requirements by the FMCSA ?
They really helpful.
Great! Glad you found this video helpful. If you'd like more information, give us a call at 888-664-9121.
Soon I will be with Prime inc
Excited to have you join the Prime family! See you soon!
Currently working for Pilot, Flying J in the PJ Fresh kitchen. Driving OTR/Long-Haul is my goal. I'm very excited.
We would love to have more enthusiastic drivers like you on our fleet. Let us know if you need assistance along the way.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING what would be a reason why a persons application is declined?
I will be working for this company Manifestation Is the key 💯
We love to hear that!
This is my Dream too!
Love this video see you soon❤
See you soon! Thanks for watching.
Hope to join soon
Great! We hope to hear from you soon.
What is the passage rate for the program in terms of the percent of those completing TNT vs. the total that begin orientation? Also, assuming Prime covers return transportation home for those who are unsuccessful?
Awesome 👍
Thanks 🤗
I finish my miles one month ago I have now like 56 or 57 something like that and prime continue payme like student
I am scared of bad weather and going down a mountain. Start on the 3rd
Always remember YOU are the captain of your ship. If YOU don't feel comfortable to drive, pull over to a safe spot and let your FM/dispatch know. No load is worth more than a life. Safety first!
Would love to migrate just to get a chance to work for this company..... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Unfortunately, you must live in the United States within our hiring area and hold a United States driver's license for at least one year prior to driving for us.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING working on it
I've been debating on doing this for years. My concern is learning a manual as I tried in a car and couldn't do it. Other than that, I have no ties, kids, pets or anything holding me from this kind of career.
They have automatic transmissions now
Awesome job cuz (Miss.Dee)
Thanks for watching our video, Justin!
Thank you Justin! (Dee)
Amazing company,, Lovely
Thanks Gus! We appreciate your support.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING U r welcome,,God bless you
I got my CDL though Prime in late 2018 absolutely loved the company looking to come back, cant wait !
Thanks for the compliment! We look forward to having you back on the team! Let us know if there's anything we can assist with along the way.
How long is the contract?
Why did you leave?
@@six-pac2120 I'm located in Southern California that AB-5 law effected my lease.
@@abrahamjackson6019 what ever happened with that I know it affected alot of drivers not just prime?
I wanted to start training with Prime but my application was declined,looks like a good place to work.
Hope that we can work together in the future. Best of luck to you
Why was it declined?
They didn’t give me a reason. I’m sure it was something from my past. I started with another company and it’s been over a year since I’ve been here.
Thank Steve Field for your service and leadership. Enjoy retirement 🎉
I so want to do this. I just don't want to fail. I've never backed a trailer. Parents were truckers. So is my brother in law. It's a bit intimidating
Driving is a difficult job, but we hire divers of all experience levels and give them the training they need to be safe, professional drivers. If you are ready to get started, apply on our website www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube
How did it go? I've applied to Prime and Backing is my biggest worry because I've never backed a trailer either.
@@davidgrant8994 I never went and applied. Wanted to get in shape first before I went for the medical checkup
I fill out the application online but I don't have that to continue filling out the application, I only have the permissions and I already have a little experience driving
Wish could talked about the pay
Our pay goes up fairly consistently, so we wanted to keep the specific numbers out of the video so it lasts awhile! Currently, our training pay is $900/week during the TNT training phase. For more information, give our recruiters a call at 888-664-9121.
Hey! Me and my partner are considering getting into team trucking we just have to get our permits first. But I wanted to know, while we are going through the 30k miles for TNT are we able to earn more than the guaranteed $800-$900 through bonuses or something like that.
There are no bonuses or additional income during the TNT phase of training.
I have my class A license but I’m still not confident in my backing
Let's work on that! Are you currently a Prime driver?
I want to do this but I also have to keep bringing money home.
We offer the Prime Student Driver Program to help you earn your CDL. You pay nothing for our Prime Training Program as long as you drive for Prime Inc. with your CDL for one year! It is an over-the-road training program that starts with a 3-day orientation in Springfield, MO; Pittston, PA; or Salt Lake City, UT. We would cover your rental car to get to orientation as well as 3 meals per day and hotel stay during orientation. After orientation, you would train with an Instructor for 2-4 weeks with your permit. Then, you would come back to take the CDL Exam. Once you earn your CDL in the program, you'll start getting paid a guarantee per week as long as you are available to drive during the 2nd phase of training (takes about 2-2.5 months).
During the TNT phase, does the Trainer do any of the driving (team driving), or only the new employees (with awake trainers in the passenger seat)?
During TNT training, both the trainee and trainer drive as a team.
is there any option to apply, if I'm currently living outside of the U.S.?
I take my CDL permit test in a few weeks. I guess I'm going to have to give y'all a call🦍🦍🦍
That's great! When you're ready, give us a call at 888-664-9121 for more information.
I’ll be taking my CPL in a couple of weeks who can get ahold of? Because I will join your company 😊
Thanks for reaching out about opportunities at Prime! Great news, we're hiring drivers! Check out our page www.driveforprime.com for more information and when you're ready to get started, you can apply on our website www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube
So you don't make money till you get the cdl? If I was to apply I still need to make money so how does that work?
Wondering the same
If i heard that right "it doesn't matter where you call home we currently hire anywhere in the lower 48 states" I can send in a application from Oregon? 😊😊
We are only limiting our new hires from FL as of right now. You are ok to submit an application if you are from Oregon.
Does this company still offer training with the new ELDT requirements? Or do I have to enroll in trucking school?
Absolutely! If you are ready to get started, you can apply on our website at www.primeinc.com
I currently have my cdl A, I’m looking to join prime. How long will I have to be in training before I can be on my own making money. And also, what all areas will I driving to? What position offers the most pay? I’m currently living in Florida
If you have six months of OTR experience in the past year, you can come in and become a company driver or lease operator. There is no waiting for the lease programs. If you are ready to get started you can apply on our website at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube
I have my cdl-a permit..but I don't need a dot exam....I have my dot card
Great! If you are ready to get started, you can apply on our website, www.primeinc.com
I already have my cdl but not much training, would I go straight to TNT?
Great question! Our recruiting team would access your driving history to determine how much training you would need. If you have a CDL and less than 4 months experience, you will be required to obtain a minimum 40,000 team miles with a Prime Trainer to become eligible for upgrade. Before that you would need to attend a 3 day orientation at the terminal nearest to you.
I'm in the process of studying for my CDL permit. My question is how many times if a person fails the PSD training will Prime send you home
If you are consistently showing effort and improvement, we will continue to instruct you until you're ready to pass the CDL exam. This can vary depending on individual circumstances.
Do the driver and trainer sleep in the same truck or do yall go to truck stops at the end of each day and get a room
Prob in the truck since you're not getting paid until you pass. But if you have enough money saved up to get hotels, you can do whatever you want.
@@FirstnameLastname-pe5ibhe’s talking about tnt program you get paid 900 a week
I am a disabled driver waiting on an instructions waiver. After the skills assessment am I able to drive otr until I test with the FMCSA? Not that I'm a bad driver but I need all the training I can get.
Great question for the Recruiting Department. Feel free to reach out to the team at 888-664-9121
Are you guys only taking 2 students per orientation now? I was told this by a recruiter yesterday, but it just doesn't seem believable to me.
I have my cdl but no experience, do i have to do the complete process of training?

hello my name is Desiree arcangel I am interested in working with the prime company I have my CDL permits and I want to know what are the requirements to apply for the company
If we cannot drive manual, is that an issue?
Not at all! All of our trucks are automatic unless you special order a manual.
does prime have a CDL tanker program? where they train new students to drive the tanker with a hazmat endorsement? also can I be hire from Miami florida?
Prime does have tanker but I don’t believe it’s hazmat. It’s all food grade. I don’t believe they hire from Miami unfortunately but I could be wrong. Doesn’t hurt to call and ask.
They hire from Miami
They hire from all of Florida matter fact I’m in swfl
Hello! We are not hiring for Tanker drivers out of Miami, but we are hiring for our refrigerated and flatbed divisions there. If you're interested, you can apply online at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube.

Why prime doesn’t take CDL learners drivers form Florida?
One of the reasons we are limiting our new hires is we can not always guarantee a regular home time for them due to not much freight coming out of FL. We are working on finding a solution for this!
I just got a call from prime inc and they told me I have to study for my permit but idk how to get there once I click on the link
We recommend the CDL prep app to help you study for the permit.
What about the Oxnard, CA location??? I’m in SoCal
We do hire drivers out of California.

@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING thank you
Can you still test out on a Manual transmission truck?
Hi Manny, our standard fleet is 100% automatic so we train with automatic transmissions.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING okay, thanks.
Do the trainers play music when the student is in the truck? I will do without hometime, and dont mind hard labor. But i dont want to hear music in the truck.
Some do, most don't. If it will bother you just tell them it is distracting you.
@todaysliay6543 is correct. Make sure to have open communication with your trainer.
Does prime train with manual trucks?
The Prime fleet only runs with automatic transmissions
Do you need a permit before u come
To start the Prime Training Program, you do need your class A permit in your home state. You can apply before getting the permit. Find more info on the permit testing here: www.primeinc.com/drive-for-prime/permit/.
this because of feb 2022 video
Not sure what you mean by that, but thanks for watching our video!
How long is the contract after you complete your 30k miles?
A year
DJ is correct, the CDL training program is at no cost to you as long as you drive for Prime for one year.
but that year goes by quick
A person with a felony for robbery,burglary and possession of a deadly weapon who has paid their debt to society.. and has been out of prison for over 7yrs now... are they able to be accepted into prime right now ?
All convictions will be considered according to an individual assessment.

do company drivers get to choose the truck they want to drive and division
As a company driver, you would be able to decide which division you would like to be part of, however the truck would be provided to you. All Prime trucks are 2019 or newer, to ensure you have a reliable, quality rig.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING thank you so do I need to be a company driver before a independent contractor
You can choose to be an independent contractor right away. Typically, we encourage drivers who are new to the industry to start out as a company driver - but this is not a requirement.
ok thank you
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING Once I go solo from the TNT say if I go company a few months is it a amount of time I have before I can switch to independent?
what kind of endorsements do i need to qualify ?
From my understanding you will get your tank endorsement during the training.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING will i get help gettin air brakes as well?
Do u guys train felons to get there cdl
The recruiting department does an individual assessment of each applicant to determine eligibility. They will look at driving record, current work history, and criminal record. It would all be based on the type of offence and length of time since the incident. For more information feel free to reach out to our recruiting department at 888-664-9121

What if I’m in California
Hello! We do hire from CA but you would have to be a company driver. If you are ready to get started, you can apply at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube
Are you guys only taking 2 students per orientation now? A recruiter told me this yesterday and I don't know if I believe him. It just doesn't make sense that out of 3 training facilities you can only accept 2 per orientation.
There must be some confusion, we have several students in the orientation classes, every Monday and Wednesday. It is possible that we only have a few spots left in an upcoming orientation class. Our classes have been filling up lately. I believe the recruiting team is scheduling new students for orientation about a month out.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING My problem is that, unless you know someone in the trucking industry it's extremely hard to get in to it you're disabled. Unless you know someone willing to help. Companies NEED drivers, right?? Why is it that I get no help in this? Feels like unless it's easy these company's don't care. Yeah, I'm ADA, but nobody works with the FMCSA to streamline, or, at least make it easier to get in! That right there is my problem. Because I have to wait on a SPE CERTIFICATION, I no longer have a place in an orientation! And since I have to wait, my spe waiver runs out BEFORE I can even get into orientation. NO RECRUITER CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION and there's nobody else to contact! For the last 6 years I've been talking to companies. No one has a program for people that are ADA. All that time I wasted getting everything together, and going through the process only to get rejected at the end is extremely maddening!
And this isn't the 1st time I've tried...
I overstand, though. Time is money...

Do you need any endorsements
All drivers at Prime are required to get a tanker endorsement
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING does that need to be obtained prior to training? I just passed my CLP test today.
@@HermanV0929 preferably, yes
Is it paid training
You can take a $200 a week loan out while you are in PSD until you earn your CDL. Then you will be paid $900 once your are in the TNT phase of training.
I was told that because I live in WA I would have to get my CDL within WA…
Unfortunately, WA has been a tricky state to work with. We have run into the issue where the state is not allowing the CDL test score to be transferred back to the state for the drivers to get their CDL.
Prime is not perfect but it's a solid company overall
Thank you!
Oh wow you dont make money for the first few weeks?
Typically, you don't get paid until you earn your CDL across the industry.
got my cdl in 2003..took 3 months and 10k and still had to ride 50k miles with a trainer at the company i choose....been training at prime for 4 years stop bullshiting folks....last 5 students only did 6 hrs of driving on the pad and around test course..then prime handed them a cdl and said yup your ready to drive teams....no wonder prime safety rating is 98.....
A drivers TNT training miles is dependent on the drivers previous and most recent driving experience. The PSD phase of training is determined by how long it takes for a student to feel confident they are to take the CDL exam. Prime's safety rating far exceeds the safety rating of other companies.
Had my cdl . Drove 5 years..didn't keep cdl..changed career..want to get cdl back...what the process.?.
You will have to go through training again, to acquire your CDL. If you are ready to get started, you can apply on our website at www.primeinc.com
