    Im tapped out... I would say 99% of the information you maybe looking for on Prime is somwhere in this section... Im sorry, you will just have to dig and read.

    Im out... Ive done alot... posted alot... and left alot of good information...

    When I came here to the forums there wasnt a fraction of the information that is floating around this section now... By no means am I taking all the credit, but I am glad there are quite a few people contributing information now.

    Coming here and feeling the need to defend myself on a near daily basis has become an exercise in futility. Its almost an unhealthy obsession dealing with the nay sayers... A waste of time and energy always on the defensive.

    Actually I only know what I know about my experiances at PRIME... Its all here in postings... Its all been great... Im happy here for now... If the situation changes to the negative, you all will be the first to know.

    I came to Prime because the training seemed to be the best fit for me, and after my obligation I was going to look into trading up to a better situation (local, better pay, better company) and I found Prime to be a good company and great training, Im sticking with them and I have a five year plan (In which I may or may not be driving after that, we'll see)

    You can choose to believe or not believe anything I have said here.

    Its your choice and your decision only to come to Prime.

    Peace

    You and ironpony have been a wealth of good information about Prime -- all which was backed with numbers and facts. I appreciated your openness about training, pay, benefits, and life on the road with this company. The Prime threads are very informative and I'm sure will be helpful to those weighing the pros and cons of the various companies when choosing a path in trucking.

    Please continue to check in with us. I've enjoyed your posts so very much... and would miss you if you left.

    Stay safe, U2Exit, and don't let the naysayers get ya' down.

    This is exactly why I am not on very much. There is so much "my cousin's neighbor has a friend, whose brother knows someone who lost his shirt at Prime" and I just got tired of it. I am doing well, thank you. First few weeks of the lease were rough, but starting up in ANY business is rough at first with all the start-up, etc. It is a BUSINESS. Gonna miss U2.

    Like others, U2, I've found your posts to be so informative and I've appreciated all the time you have taken to share with us. I don't know why people who are unhappy with their experiences have to "attack" those who are happy. As you have probably noticed, I WANT to get in to Prime, the top reason being their training program. I'll miss your posts and information. Would you mind if I send you a PM if I have questions? Whatever you do, U2, don't let negatives override you positives. Be safe out there. ~Hugs~

    Hello U2, I personally found your posts to be helpful in determining if Prime would be a good place to start. It's just a shame that others have decided to attack you because you have had a good experience and posted about it. Anyway, thanks for all the information and I'm happy to say I will be in orientation next week!
