Prime inc or Millis Transfer

Hi all, im going to be turning 21 and i've been doing a ridiculous amount of research on companies to start out with. My paps drove for Prime Inc. in 2005 so I already know a great deal about them and there traits, atleast a lot more then I know about the other companies im looking into. But I want to start out company and play it safe and gain exp being safe and profitable before I do a lease or anything. I've been looking a lot into Millis and for one.. they are only 3 hrs from where I live so thats a plus to start with. I have read mostly all good reviews about millis.. well actually nothing but good.. but I also have not read anything bad really about driving a company truck with Prime inc. If some drivers could give some advice on who would most likely be the best to roll with when I hit age 21 to get my cdl and as well I would probably make more money with driving company I would very much appreciate it. Im young and am looking forward to making a real good career out of this while staying fit and healthy as I think that is real important to do if your out there on the road. Im looking to run real hard and stay out longer then normal also because I don't really have a important reason to have some hometime, would rather stack up on the cash. I know Prime Inc. runs HARD! Witnessed that with my paps. Hope some drivers can give me some tips and advice. Thanks so much. So anxious to get started.

 

Right on crete, thanks! You are very true about there trucks rollin at that speed, they got to pretty much to make a decent check while leasing. I was thinking the same thing.. Would probably be best to go with a company where most of there fleet are company drivers, all really getting equal loads and treated equally while I could see making a lot bigger check as well then driving company for prime. Please everyone post your knowledge and advice, it really helps a lot. Thanks again crete, have fun and be safe!!

 

Thanks iron and AT, iron I have more respect and a passion to drive for prime then any other company.. Been wanting to drive since I was with my dad there.. I love everything about that company, there terminal, trucks.. You name it. As far as driving company there I know they have a nice fleet of company trucks and there drivers do make good money driving company. "Btw do they still roll with RTC on the company trucks?" But I do strongly think I could make more at millis driving company since there all company and some O/O. I can see myself at prime down the road leasing for sure.. Like I said, I have a passion for that company and have a wealth of knowledge about them believe it or not. Not saying more then you iron of course.. Your driving there. Where ever I choose though I'm going to make it work and keep a positive attitude, this is going to me my career I'm forming so I'm going to roll with the flow and go where the most money is for driving company and get treated well while driving great equipment starting out. I still have some time before I'm 21, so I can sit on my choices a bit. Thanks all.
