Video showing the awful truth about Prime lightweight trucks

LOL....

A guy destined for longevity in trucking..............

 

They all basically offer that, it's the truck buyer that has to spec it.

 

I had a cab curtain in my lw and I had a surprising amount of room and never had an issue getting dressed.

 

Lol at "Awful Truth" yeah because going down the road they look very spacious & we all know drivers like small trucks with alot of space....

And for some odd reason the OP has an strange obsession with Prime & Swift... troubling to a degree

 

The whiner is getting 42-cpm to drive that truck. So let's see...

-The heater doesn't work... try reading the bunk heater instruction manual. They're in the right side door pocket on every truck they check out.

-No room? Go down to the TA and buy a windshield curtain. Don't forget to save the receipt... it's tax-deductible.

-No load? Remember the call he didn't bother answering?? That was driver's lineup (consolidated dispatch out of Springfield) with A LOAD!!!

-Can't get a bigger truck without leasing? Go talk to the flatbed division... that's all they run. Go talk to the training department... you have to be in a condo to train. Go find a co-driver and tell your fleet manager you want to team... instant condo!!!

What a looser.

As a side note, the OP... has never walked through the doors at Prime, and has no idea what the truth is about what she posts about, in my opinion.

 

I didn't watch the video and only browsed thru a few comments... but I figure what it's talking about.
When I did my co. search, type of truck, size, inside space room and LOTS of other things were quite important for my decision. I live in the truck 24/7 all year long and cook in it and carry a lot of things. So, inside space was one, if not the most important item, even more than how much co. would pay me...
Soooooo many folks coming to this industry, are sooo misinformed.... and have absolutely no clue about what to expect. No clue about the life they are about to live... And the changes... All they know... or they think they know is that they will be making a lot of money... And that they will be the "king" or "queen" of the roads, driving that BIG rig out there...

 

Has enough room for the cookies , milk duds and a box of CRISPY CREAM donuts what more does he need but I guess he needs to post on USELESS TUBE about something.

 

I'll gladly trade his midroof with APU and separate heater knob for my condo with no APU...

 

he complains about lack of space in that, would love to see how he'd react in the truck I drove and slept in while I was in Iraq! Had no sleeper, no A/C, just bare metal doors, this guy doesn't know how good he has it!

 

Seen one today at Wal-Mart and driver let me take a peek inside. From the outside they do look spacious, inside wasnt too bad. I guess somewhere in Prime there is a disconnect to whats being told vice whats being done. If drivers are told they can elect more pay for a smaller truck, but they choose to have a bigger truck for less pay they should honor that agreement, no harm no foul. Its not like the whole fleet is changing to the ECOs anyway. I guess they're forcing them on drivers now because no one wanted them so theyre just sitting around.


Driver still can get a bigger truck if he goes trainer, lease or team. But "I" wouldn't leave an obvious good company otherwise over it!
