Paid CDL Training

The entire student driver training process at Prime takes about four to six months. The first three to four weeks take place with a CDL instructor on the road with the student driver. After passing the final CDL skills test, the remaining three to four months (30,000 miles) are spent on the road as a B2 company driver trainee. After receiving a commercial driver’s license, or CDL, Prime pays student drivers 12 cents per mile—a guaranteed $600 per week. The opportunity to earn money during the training process is  huge benefit for unemployed or underemployed people trying to get back on their feet.

Loan Option During Training

The first three to four weeks, while training with a certified CDL instructor, is unpaid. However, Prime loans each student driver a weekly amount of $200 for purchasing food and incidentals if needed. This money is conveniently repaid by deducting $25 per week from their future paychecks.

Great Benefits

The entire cost of your training (valued at $3500) is forgiven by Prime after one year of driving for the company. The only cost to you for the Prime Student Driver program is a one-time $100 administrative fee.

In addition to this extraordinary benefit, qualifying Prime professional truck drivers also enjoy the following:

  • Medical and life insurance coverage
  • Fuel bonus program
  • Safety bonus plan
  • On-time delivery bonus
  • Mileage incentive bonus
  • Other bonus and reward programs
  • Access to the features at Prime’s terminal (basketball court, weight room, spa, movie theater)
