If you can afford to work for $6.00 a week go to Prime, Inc.

If I had known about this web site before yesterday then I could have planned it better. If you have something constructive to offer I'm all ears but I'm really not interested in your criticism and stories about how everyone that has never worked for Prime became such experts on them.

 

I've been operating my own truck not company trucks and I didn't have these issues. I have had two constructive comments sense I put this information out. There is nothing wrong with my attitude I was trying to help other truckers not criticize someone. If I had known you were all so well informed I wouldn't have bothered. Hows that for attitude?

 

I sold my truck when fuel prices went up a dollar a gallon and the pay to haul freight stayed the same. I leased on with Sammons out of Montana but they were constantly trying to screw me out of money so I went back to running under my own authority and I was doing good until the fuel prices went through the roof. The reason I did the Prime lease was to test the waters to see what is currently being paid to haul freight without signing on the doted line for a $100,000.00 five year truck loan. The freight is there and the money is better than it was when I sold my truck but the only way to control the money is to run under your own authority as a contract hauler. There is no middle man between you and the shipper you negotiate the pay for each load and they pay on delivery or they don't get the product. Most of the shippers I worked for paid in advance. The other thing is this DEF compliant rule , there are a lot of trucks having major issues with the DEF systems on their new trucks.
