    You should be the last person to make a back handed remark about some one's typo/spelling or grammar.

    I remember the biggest thing that irked me when you first started complaining about Prime was your use of all CAPITALIZATION.

    Your punctuation was horrible... and you spelled maybe as "mabey"

    "ANONYMUS" is spelled Anonymous too.

    I'll take ya up on that!

    Saw on a Werner thread that a driver was complaining that they sit in the terminal in Dallas for DAYS waiting for freight. I delivered down there last week (at the receiver 24 hours early), had a pickup assigned within 15 minutes of going empty, and was out of town before midnight. Say what you will about Prime, but we don't sit and they pay us very well compared to the REAL bottom feeders!

    I live off of I-71 in Ohio. I think that I have seen as many Prime trucks as I have anyone else.
    Don't know what the new Pete's are like to drive or ride in, but they are very sharp looking.
    I have never seen a junky looking Prime Tractor or trailer.

    I thought that those werner drivers lived at that pilot !
    I wont even stop there any more .....
    I will go south on 45 to the loves and get fuel or a sandwich at the Carls Jr.
    I used to work the Dollar General account out of Ardmore , OK. and sometimes on the way back out of the dallas area we had to stop by the werner terminal to drop off roll carts and my gosh ...... The standards of some ... not all... werner drivers and disgusting dirty ### trucks they had just turned my stomach....
    I always had drivers coming up to me asking if my company was hiring !

    One more statistic... you forgot about the multitudes of happy Prime drivers that don't want to waste their time arguing about this. They just don't care what anybody thinks about Prime.

    Haven't heard anything myself - if you're interested, jump on it! We might have some new business out of that area. When tanker division expands, it usually is in response to something like that - small and specific.
