Prime, Inc. is dedicated to building a team of the best truck drivers around. One of the ways we do this is by providing competitive “per mile” pay rates to company drivers and “percent of linehaul” programs to independent contractors who have their CDL.

Supporting our drivers
We understand that our drivers perform their best when they are happy and healthy. Our extensive list of benefits helps ensure our associates get the support they deserve.
Passenger & pet policy
Associates are allowed to have one passenger in their truck with them as they travel. Drivers may also have a single pet on their truck, provided the driver has paid the refundable deposit.
Insurance benefits
Our company drivers have access to our competitive insurance benefits, including medical, dental and life insurance. A 401(k) Success Sharing plan is also available to assist associates with saving for retirement.
Safety bonus
Drivers who have no driver-preventable accidents or out-of-service incidents within a certain period may be paid an extra bonus to reward them for driving safely.
Home policy
We understand the importance of family, which is why our drivers receive one day of home time per seven days on the road. This way, our drivers can recharge before going back out.
Vacation time
Drivers can receive up to $2,800 in paid vacation each year depending on the number of miles they drive. The more you drive, the more time you are given off.
