    You contradict your self, you must be a company driver. So if what he said isn't true ( which you have no clue that it isn't). Then 2 things, 1) why bother saying your all for keeping people from leasing on with Prime. 2) Why bother posting at all, you just make yourself look stupid..

    Flat out, leasing isn't for everyone - my view is you have to be a businessman first. It's a tough industry, and from what I've seen, Prime doesn't coddle drivers with big $$$ signs in their eyes and no ability to make sound business decisions.

    If you look at this guy's posts, it would appear he wants to drive in MI

    Ummm, NO. First off, I didnt go there with BIG $$$$ in my eyes. I know that it takes time when you first start out, but it don't take a rocket scientest to see after a few weeks the type of loads they give you and how they play, now the word games they play to see the big picture. All these guys want you to do is pay for everything, allow them to make profit off of you, with the hopes that you get so far in the whole, that you run team for them so they make even more money off of you or train, thus allowing the same thing. Talk to the company drivers, you dont hear of them running much over 100 miles dead head for a load, and I have seen the routing they get vs what lease drivers are given. also, Im not looking to DRIVE in Michigan, why dont you read, Im looking for companies that hire drivres that live in michigan. If I wanted to DRIVE MICHIGAN, I will do it in my car or work a local job.

    For the record, the .95CPM guarantee is for all authorized miles loaded and empty, not just loaded miles like was said earlier in the thread. Also, there are no weekly charges for EZPass or PrePass. EZPass you get charged the actual cost of the tolls minus the 28% Prime pays, and PrePass you get charged, I believe, 88 cents per bypass.

    And to add to the record.. A l/o is NOT required to use Primes routing or fuel stops. So how they route co drivers vs l/o doesn't really matter. They do "supposedly" send you a copy of the freight bill. However, I always thought that was a joke.

    Nor are L/O's required to purchase services or equipment from Prime (as was stated) - read the lease.
