Going to Prime

And the answers to questions like...
Why do they care about BMI?
What are other indicators of sleep apnea?
What are the effects of sleep apnea?
Why is someone better off treating sleep apnea rather than ignoring it?
have already been posted there. So Jonny you can discuss if you want, but the good info is already on those other threads. If someone can't read it there......I doubt they will read it here. But maybe later they can start their own thread about everything they did not know.

 

how do you like working with prime?

 

I like it just fine - as anyone on this forum will tell you. Miles are good, rates are good, equipment is excellent, they don't even think of telling you to run illegally or in adverse conditions.

 

do they make you lease your truck or can you be a company driver?

 

Either - however, unless you have the requisite operational and business experience, you have no business signing a truck lease. Unless you're very luck, that's just asking for financial ruin. I ran company for over 3 years, and never once was approached to lease a truck. Got to the point I wanted to jump, and I've been having a ball ever since.

 

thanks. I saw alot of people weir leasing from prime I didnt really want to lease if i do decide to start drive with them. Maybe if I stayed there for awhile but not right away.

 

That's true. In about a month when your in a terminal you will have to show your CDL and medical card before you get dispatched according to
Don Lacy.

 

So far so good, I am in Orientation in Salt Lake, all the drivers I have spoken to seem to be very happy with the company (both lease and company) and orientation has perks that I had not expected.

 

Not sure exactly what that means...

Hmmm, I might give Prime a call, any particular recruiter/manager to ask for?

 

My recruiter was Kristi Pinckney- she was awesome
