Prime Inc driver thread

There always seems to be one kingsson...but after scouring the net for months and asking a ton of questions.. I'm glad to have made the decision to head to Prime as soon as CDL class is complete at the end of June. I have also been dealing with a recruiter there that has been a pleasure to work with. Answers all my questions promptly and never leaves me hanging, great communicator. If anyone who's still on the fence about possibly going to Prime wants the name of this person you can pm me and I will be more than happy to give you the name. I can't say the same for a couple other companies I have spoken to...I'll leave them nameless...whats the use?

I am not gonna get into a he said, she said pissing match. I really don't care that much. Just please, if you are considering going with Prime, do a little research. It will save you a lot of pain.

 

Your "research" is catching the low percentage of drivers who are dissatisfied with their experience at Prime. I've been with Prime nearly 4 years now, and by far the drivers I speak with are more than happy to be pulling a wagon that says "Prime Inc." on the side. I"m not naive enough to suggest that everyone is going to be happy here, and there are going to be cases where things just don't work out - like there is with every large employer. Its not a one-size-fits-all world, but to say, "It will save you a lot of pain," is a complete mischaracterization of Prime.

 

Hey sazook...I went to Prime's website and read through most of the site...and boy-I'll tell ya your explanation of getting in as beginner is way better than how they explain in the'Apprenticeship Training'section
Kinda was headache forming..kinda made sense..but I had to read it twice over..but the rest of the site was pretty helpful in what to look forward to,and the options were great!

 

Yeah, that might explain there %150 turnover rate.

 

You want to take this over to the bad companies folder driver?

 

Woohoo! Let us know how your experience goes And good luck!

 

Will do...well at least I'll try to..not sure how much internet time I'll get ...

 

Not to worry IP...I know every company is not for everyone..so I see thru most of the unhappyness of others...I figure with all the peeps that work for most of these companies far out number those that are unhappy. Only time will tell...so for the time being I'm looking forward to being amongst the ranks with Prime.

Thanks,
Coop
