    1) "Riddled with annoying ads". I'll have to take your word for it...I've somehow missed them.

    2) "Idiots that start pointless squabbles". Yep, got some of those that find great pleasure in misery. We also have some folks who come on here from time to time, find all the point-less squabbles, actually take the time to read them (kinda pointless, huh), then move along the the other, better forums. Could you turn me on to a couple of those? I've looked around but keep coming back here for some reason. Maybe I've found that it's easier to "click, ignore, and scroll" on past those pointless squabbles that seem to draw you like a magnet. Maybe I'm just naturally "attracted" to the good I find here.

    3) "Nothing but arguments or bad mouthing to (to?) the company I work for". Sorry guy, your company is respected by many, it's also criticized by many. I can't speak to the criticism of your company, I've made it a point to find the "good stuff" about your company and, by the way, there's a lot of "good stuff" being said HERE about your company.

    4) "The McDonald's of Forums", eh? McDonald's has been doing pretty good for many, many years. Not a bad business-model to emulate.

    5) "before you NAZIs censor it- because that's pretty much all you people do well." I've got an idea about that too.......BITE ME, YOU PRICK!!!!!

    I have to admit I'm a big fan of this forum, I was active on classadrivers.com for a while then they turded out in the past few years, I think 95 percent of the posts on here are helpful, and the other 5 percent are atleast humorous. Some of the diaries on here of different drivers adventures across this country are as real as they get, and tastefully written, I've been a driver now for 7 years and honestly enjoy coming on here and seeing other posts from drivers and reading about their daily adventures, I've even caught myself looking at the trucks around me on a daily basis waiting to see if it was someone from the forum, anyhow keep up the good work, not only the moderators but the loyal members of this site, it's a job well done.........

    Admin, what's all the huffing about? You guys have a fine site and I really don't understand the insecurity. Just about everyone on the "Prime site" also uses this forum, just in a different way. I don't really think anyone is "advertising" here, simply using it to convey information involving the trucking industry in general and Prime in particular. After all, that is it's purpose, no?:biggrin_255:

    There is no insecurity on our part...the problem we have had lately is with people using our site to help launch their new Prime sites. If it was an established site that someone posted a link to, and it was pertinent to an ongoing conversation it wouldn't be that big a deal, but to use us and all our hard work to get your new site off the ground seems kind cheesy to me. Otherwise, it's not like this new prime site is in competition with us.


    I hope that makes sense.

    I love this site and there is a wealth of information, humor, and drama to be found here.

    This place is probably either number 1 or number 2 of the first sites I check each day and will continue to do so.

    However, everytime we Prime drivers get in a discussion amongst ourselves or pass on any little info to someone else we are belittled and badgered... sometimes called liars, and its been implied that we are company agents posing as drivers.

    Seems our biggest critic around here is a "guy who knows somebody that works in Low places at Prime"(his own statement) Thats a real credible source.

    Moderators have a tough job around here but I cant say things have been exactly fair around here. But the Proprieters have it in for Prime... consider this:

    Are you (the proprietors of Truckerreport.com) responsible for this statement?
    http://www.thetruckersreport.com/company-warnings/

    Borderline liable without any facts to back it up... Especially the Wyoming statement... interesting that Prime doesnt have the caveat that many of the other "warned" companies have "Many drivers have stated..."

    The "Prime" warning from this site is not from the Rip Off Report link provided, so I guess this the statements are first hand knowledge with supporting facts on your part... You really have seen "this company literally run drivers into the ground!"?

    Read your own warnings: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...warning-you-responsible-your-posts-under.html

    "Basically, precedent HAS been set in these matters and YOU are responsible for YOUR posts, not us! IF you post libel against another person or company without PROOF...you CAN be sued and YES the FBI can find you even with just your e-mail; so make no mistake that YOU are responsible for what YOU say in a public forum. " -WiseOne

    Does this apply to you?

    So what if we have a little piece to ourselves... there is no money being made over there, no advertisements, no implication/hint for a donation... Cant say the same about here.
