Starting at Prime 7/24!

Congrats! Y'all should start a thread when you get going.

 

I will be there the 24th as well! See you there buddy!

 

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, ABOUT 17 HOURS ON THE BUS NOT INCLUDING LAYOVERS Looking forward to Prime Inc and a start of a new and promising career!

 

I see everyone is so happy, hope yall do well. Just to let you know hope not to rain on yall parade but I did the training with Prime and left because of the type of truck your going to get if you be a company driver. Lightweights that don't have any room, its basically like being in a coffin. If you lease then you get a condo.
As for me its about being comfortable if I'm going to be out there for at least a month. Prime is a good company but there the only company who gives coffin trucks to company drivers but they do boost the pay up for having those trucks. To me its not just about the money I want to be comfortable while I'm out there living on the road for a month.

Just a lil heads up and good luck to you guys.

 

No I went to another company. That's is Prime policy, lightweights are for the company drivers and the condos are for leasing and team drivers. That was the only problem I had with Prime, other than that they are a good company. They didn't tell me they truck assignment while in orientation. Forgot one thing with that, that's only with the reefer side. If you go flatbed or tanker then you get condo but they told me all the newbees start out as reefer.

I even told my dispatcher that my wife wanted to travel with me and he still told me the same thing. I said two people can't live in one of those trucks.
But hey by you being 6'6 they should put you in a condo. That would be insane to put you in one of those trucks.

 

Are you planning to lease?
