    Sure!!

    1) For starters who's paying more than Prime for new drivers out the door?

    2) I'm in the process of moving to the left coast. Getting my CDL License with Prime prevents me from having to go back to my home state (current) to test and get it changed then ultimately having to pay again to get it changed in my new state. One company who is comparable to prime and that I was going to go with would have required that I return to test.

    3) The information that I've received and have seen has been very well explained from the super pros . Although the Super Pros are giving me grief over the lightweight comment, I can handle it and that's not even a problem. Part of learning.


    As I mentioned, Prime is the best for my situation. I've considered other companies and were accepted by few. That's why. Is there something I should know that I don't? If so please PM me.

    This video really makes me realize how spoiled I am.
    I get upset when my AC doesn't work, or when I have a minor issue...

    Bearing in mind that guys, 30 years ago, would've killed this guy and stolen his truck for the room an amenities it had.

    Im curious to know if they give you a choice of available trucks, or if they just assign you one. I saw that there was no drop down bunk. they took the cabinet and closet space on the passenger side away and put over the bed. I also noticed he didn't have a passenger seat. That should have solved most of his problems rite there. That cramped space in back is defently smaller than im used to seeing in a truck. BUT if your in the truck by yourself, you don't need to have the main curtain closed when you get dressed. Personally, if that were my truck. My main concern would be, does it run good enough to make me money. Im only going to be in the sleeper for around 8hrs a day anyway. S L E E P I N G.

    Maybe if he quit laying around in the bunk whining / complaining while eating donuts and candy , got some exercise lost a few pounds he would not find it so crowded

    You get what lightweight is available.

    This guy is a whiner who can't operate simple controls, answer the phone for loads, and thinks he should get a 100" sleeper with his shiny new Missouri CDL.

    Quote me - Prime is the best. Don't work here, never been here? Your a tool. Someone saying lightweights are to force people to lease? Another tool. I had to convince my dispatcher to let me lease for months. 42¢ starting plus fuel bonus sure beats most everyone else. Read all the forums. Newbies at other puppy mills make under 30¢. Of course they don't have to slave away setting the reefer unit and adding fuel to a third tank. So difficult. Prime has been fair, keeps you running what you will do, pays you, etc. I don't know what happens if your a lazy whiner unable to answer calls until your blog is uploaded but how is it Prime's fault.

    Prime is the best. Failed here buy a mirror. Never been here then why comment? To just hate on anything Prime??

    I have watched most of his youtube videos and it seems like he is ALWAYS complaining about something. It's pretty sad. Prime is a great company, and just like anything else you get out of it what you put in.
