Prime terminal in Portland, Oregon

Is the Prime terminal in Portland, Oregon busy? How many trucks are stationed there? Is there a lot of freight that Prime pulls out of Portland? Would that terminal be a good fit for a new driver? Thanks in advance.

I'd imagine it's just a sales office for Prime Floral LLC, that happens to have a shower facility available for any driver who shows up.

AFAIK, the closest full terminal to Portland is Salt Lake City. Prime doesn't operate a terminal-to-terminal operation like many carriers, but dispatches you from your last delivery location. For home time, they arrange a load to your home area, you complete the run, drop the trailer, and bobtail home. Reverse the process on the way out.

That being said, Prime has a lot of West Coast freight, so they would certainly be able to keep you busy out that way.
