Prime and Western Flyer Express Merging

Why anyone believes anything that 'no driving' guy posts on YouTube is beyond me. Wasn't he a partner in the now closed "Truckers Paradise" truckstop (the place that was only open for a short while)

 

They said the same thing in a message to us during my time at SRT back in 2020 and we witnessed how that worked out. We were going to pull Covenant freight and vice versa only to have them turn around and shutter SRT a few months later while using COVID as an excuse.

 

It’s a good thing to get them off the road. If you’re making say $.70 a mile and your speedo is set up 65… It’s just like making a little bit less money per mile and you’re not pressured to drive 75 or 80 in Texas, which increases your chances of having an accident considerably These death roads were set up because it was popular with Companies there are always impatient drivers who get tickets and then they’re angry at the world because they end up working for abusive companies. I have a very good driving record and so I can work for anyone if they tell me to do 65 and they pay me I’ll do 65 if they tell me to do 60, I’ll do 60 as long as I get paid a fair amount mass exodus of Drivers, who won’t do 65 helps the safety of the company and good riddance to them

 

IT HAS BEGUN.

WFX has now consistently been showing up at my contract with prime trailers.

The drivers ive spoken to do not seem happy at all.

They are now forced to follow some of primes nonsensical rules regarding loads, and have commented that it makes them feel like theyre rookies all over again.

They lose time on their HOS due to it.

 

It's a no for me

 

There are times when that 65 mph becomes an IMPEDIMENT, and not an advantage if you have to get the vehicle up to traffic speed,regardless of the pay. Especially if you’re driving in an area where the speed limits are considerably higher.
