    Ok. So the correct answer would be neither. Got it. Thanks for your informed content.

    If you're really determined to LP, I've heard more good things about Big Orange than Prime. YMMV, IANAL, Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball.

    You are right. Look at what they have to offer. It’s an easy decision for me. There are a lot of better driving jobs out there.

    Flease with a mega carrier during slow freight times, not a brilliant idea.

    You think they will be giving you what limited good loads they have or will they give it to their own company trucks?

    Think about it.

    Prime has been known to play lots of games and take lots of money

    5k for 3 weeks of work is company driver money
