Prime lease = get out now?

Hi all, without offering a lot of details or personal info, my spouse just started leasing with Prime, 3rd week in and I'm worried.

First week's take home pay was $824 after earning $3,300 to the truck. The second week was worse, $525 with roughly $3,200 to the truck. The third week we had 2 days of scheduled home time, and we've now had almost 4 days because they've not set another load. We've been blowing up the phone and crickets. We watch fuel milage, tolls, and only purchased the required things, so am at a loss how they can take the guaranteed amount minus the amount earned and leave us with the rest. So, I'm assuming everything negative I've read about leasing is true. I've owned my own business for years, and someone here is making money when 75% of the money is going to Prime and nothing to the driver. Can someone shed some light? Does it get better, or will we always be in the red? I say, get out now, how can one live on $500 a week- he made more back in the training days! We went into this eyes wide open, but this is the worst possible scenario.

Thanks.

 

Thanks! True. I know that with years past, just a little more pressure cause it's a new business

 

I've gone over the numbers several times and had another set of eyeballs too, everything adds up, but what I don't understand is at the end they take a guaranteed amount and what your total was for that week, and subtract them to get your take home pay. Which confuses the hell out of me. If you made for example, $3300 minus expenses was $2600 then they subtracted the guaranteed amount to give you the take home amount. If you earned $2600 minus expenses, I'm not sure why they are taking more out?
