Prime Inc. New Hopper Division

The unbridled enthusiasm these two gents are showing is darn near contagious.

[@hilariousbabies4183]

Yeah!!!! LOL to Infinity!!!😂

[@BigBrew4You]

So after pulling a hopper all week, why wouldn't I make enough money that I'd have to do a tanker load over the weekend??? What will y'all be offering for pay?

[@christianthomsen7979]

What a wierd conversation....first off you plan on going into this business without an ag exemption....huh? Ok, second you run from 7am in the morning till beer thirty at night all week and come weekend if you still dont have enough revenue to cover your butt then you get to pull tanker on the weekend depending if your clock allows you? 😂 ....and what was really cringe was the statement "Do as you're told!!..and we will take care of you..." Man, all kinds of weirdness to me sorry...i may give it a shot with you if you open up some spots in east, north east Iowa...till then i dont want to be stuck with prime out in the middle of nowhere.

[@Gravel57g]

You're going to haul corn n beans and pay per mile? That wont pay much when your sitting in line for 5 hours a day waiting to dump.

[@waynesunfire]

Drivers will quit being paid by mile. They will sit up to 8hrs just to dump corn. Hopper is % pay

[@growthefarmup2606]

Right! lol imagine getting your first Prime Hopper check, you will owe them money! lol

[@Gravel57g]

This is exactly why hopper guys get paid per bushel and/or percentage. There's no money in it for the driver per mile. @@waynesunfire

[@Gravel57g]

Its $0.20 a bushel around my area, some guys are even charging an hourly pay on top of that if they're going to a plant. They know they're going to sit there for hours on end in line. @@growthefarmup2606

[@brianfuller9565]

Better be paying company drivers 30 an hour plus ot after 40 hours

[@Sean-ps3ec]

When will Hopper be available for new drivers to work ? I am coming to Prime in Jan and will have to make a decision on what division I want to work regionally. I would like to join Hopper, Tanker or Flatbed

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Pending on where you live we have lease positions available. You can reach out to a recruiter at 888-664-9121 for more information!

[@SadButTrueHD]

Just get on flatbed. Preferably Maverick or TMC

[@thechillspot675]

There goes the neighborhood. 😢😮

[@Mr.CabadoTrucking]

The Question is how much they will be paying to its drivers?

[@Gravel57g]

I thought they said per mile, but that never works with a hopper, most of your time is sitting in line waiting. Especially with corn n beans

[@helptowardshome4863]

Used to be lucky to get 2 loads in a 12hr day and the miles for the trip were less than 120 total but the wait was horrible. Adm decatur

[@growthefarmup2606]

@@helptowardshome4863 yep, 100% the math doesn't add up paying bulk loads by the mile. especially if all your hauling is 80K gross on 5 axles lol

[@QuiltingGrizz]

I'm not sure, however.......usually by the ton for hopper loads.

[@jesterofatlas5749]

I live in southern pa so a hopper run would be great. Just waiting on a prime recruiter to get back to me

[@goodymob9638]

People are constantly asking questions, look at the video and listen. 😂

[@nicholasrawlings2961]

The only Ag Exempt loads will be field to plant. Once it is touched by an inspector etc at the plants, it is no longer a raw agricultural product.

[@SchmidtTransport]

Monday thru friday 730 to 5 or 6 and then look at if you have more hours to make more money for Prime???? I guess they dont know about the ag exempt for ag commodities or if they making so much money during the normal week why would they want to haul other things for Prime? Just a question????

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

We are looking into the AG exemption permits.

[@susanperry5428]

That's the 1st thing they should of got...the ag exemption...

Will you eventually be reaching around Fort Worth TX or Stephenville TX areas?

We are looking into the TX area for Hopper.

[@McCartyAcres]

What’s the pay per bushel I think I missed it

[@johnchambers1380]

What do you think? Not enough "O's" in low. But if you have 200 trucks making mediocre money, it's enough in the grand scope of things. Let's go lease purchase!

[@McCartyAcres]

@@johnchambers1380 it’s not so different from a dealer. Less interest in the scope of things own a truck in three years vs 5-7 years. My truck pays off and will have 320k which leaves plenty of warranty left but I will admit this last year has been hard

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

[@missmothertrucker]

We should be looking at Alaska for all divisions

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

We will keep this in mind!

[@growthefarmup2606]

Nebraska to Alaska, then Alaska back to Nebraska is one of the best lanes. You need a real truck though, a new Cascadia is not going to cut it going to Alaska, you need super trucks with firefox fuel heating systems and wrapped fuel lines. I wont even get into the DEF side of Alaska trucking, Prime wont be able to get a running truck to Alaska IMHO

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Talked to a Prime recruiter today. He told me that I had to have 6 months experience. Told me that if I didn’t have my CDL already, I could train. Is that true?

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Unfortunately at this time, yes. We are short on trainers right now so when you come in with 6 months of OTR driving you can get into your own truck right away.

[@robertgaines8051]

Is there anything in south Carolina or north Carolina

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Nothing at the time.

[@johnbangs464]

Whats wrong with you people! He said where he needs help!!! So... thats where they will need drivers! So stop asking if they are hiring in NYC, TENN, GA, IA, or anywhere else! Yound drivers need to listen

[@goodymob9638]

People don't listen or pay attention, just hear what they want to hear. 😂

[@michaelc9128]

Yea I agree

[@poetaalbers4586]

If you're going to be hauling rock/sand/abrasives, you had better get steel trailers. I've hauled both. The hoppers on aluminum trailers wont last.

[@robertbenoit5374]

Ag exempt is not about weight they are asking about Hours of service

[@aaronbonatz8378]

Better start manufacturing and industrialize down there. Everything is just about a deadhead leaving FL when a load comes into Florida.

[@mkorte69]

How do you think your current driver pool can handle meat and bone meal. It stinks and nasty I cant imagine your drivers handling that

[@RickJ.Dalton]

Yeah exactly, fleet drivers will just leave it hung up in the trailer and not clean it out at the unload spot, then go on to contaminate the next load of grain they haul. The hopper industry will probably have all new rules and restrictions once these people get involved!

[@jeffreyolin1926]

Especially when it's pork meal. How's that going to work for Muslims?

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

At this time, we have not had a customer ask us to haul pork meal.
