Prime the facts

now i no that there are a lot of post about PRIME in fact they have gotten so much attention that alone should tell you that they must be doing somthing right.
now i at one time leased a tractor from prime and no i did not stay with them but not for all the reasons i hear on here . i left because of a dispatcher who refushed to give me anything but short runs , i dont like them and i dont take them but that is just me , prime will tell you you can get rid of the dispatcher and get a new one , well it didnt work for me so i left with no hard feelings, in fact they tries to get me to come back for a month but once i leave a company thats it , BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY REASON.
now i no most of you think that this is another thread badsmothing prime but read on it is not.

first let me ask you this. a tractor cost about a 125.000 bucks who do you no that will give you a new tractor though you have little or no expeirence and turn you loose on the road without getting somthing in return? i dont no any they have to make some money off the investment. prime will.

who do you no that will treat you like royalty from the time you step of the bus till you quit? prime will.

who will give you unlimeted access to the company store, your own credit account with no limitations without having a credit score of 700 ? prime will in fact they dont even check your credit . you go the the shop or the store give them your truck number and get what you want , they will even instal it if need be , of course its not free , you have to pay it back but i no of no one that will give it to you free you have to get real.

when you get your truck you wil find that there are few restricsions on it for all intents and purposes it is your truck, you want your wife and kids to go , just do it , you want to take your pets , go for it hell i new of one guy that took his wife and kids and a #### pet python, no anyone else that will do that, i dont .

now all trucks are expensive and when you lease one its even more expensine, but when your fresh out of school or you have little expeirence, and you have no money in your pocket who will give you a chance with a new truck and trailer? prime will. and its a good way to get started.

will you make a lot of money ? not a lot but you will make money i no i did . today i have 5 tractors and 5 step deck trailers and yes prime helped me get them they gave me a helping hand when i was down to nothing and i mean nopthing in fact when i stepped of the bus it was freezing cold i had a short sleve shirt and nothing else after two days they noticed it and told me to go to the store and get what i needed 1100.00 dollors later i came out and by god i was warm. no anybody else that will do that?

now i no there are a lot of guys that dont make it with prime in fact you can sit in there lot on any day and see them cleaning out there trucks, but you can see the same thing any where else BUT they had the chance at owning there own truck if they had stayed just three years it could have been theres and they quit for a lot of different rerasons but let me tell you its not all primes fault

a lot of you hands call prime drivers cheer leaders , rookies and so on but think of ot this way. with prime drivers most pretty much stick together , they help each other along the way the rest of us could take a leson in that we dont we are all to quick to find fault with one another. not a good thing.

if i was just trying to get in the business , with no expeirence, no money , no credit, nothing but the shirt on my back , would i go to prime ? in a heart beat id be on the bus yesterday why? because i no when i left there i would have a truck , and i wouldnt have to worry about money , or food for my family, or a late bill . with prime all it takes is a phone call and the money is there , the bill is paid and my family has food in the house.

so when you listen to all the people bad mouth prime you might consider all this i no of no other company that will take care of you like prime does
in fact most of them wont take care of you at all and as likly as not they will leave you stranded some where and another driver will have to feed you if your lucky and loan you enough money to get home.

now as i said im no longer a prime driver and not comected to prime in any way but when your listening to all the bs about prime you might cut them some slack they do take care of there own and will just about give anyone a chance. MOST COMPANYS WONT .

best of luck to all,-----southernpride
