My Prime Adventure

Get used to it. It's part of the Oregon experience!

 

Oregon has NorPass, and their highway booms are set up to send red lights to any non recognized transponder. That's why you got the red lights.

Oregon is the only state I think that sends the red lights to non recognized transponders (Washington might, not sure). Oregon also has a bad habit of not turning off NorPass, so you may get a red light even with the scale closed.

 

Poor KAIN-tuck-eh. Out there alone, an island in a sea of purple. Get with it non-prepass states! Join the Lower 48 and BE PROUD! Let your freak flag fly!

 

Seebs, Spent the last hour or so reading your thread. Thanks for all the info on Prime. Sounds like you are learning quite abit out there and having a pretty good time while doing it. Keep up the great posts. Whether you know it or not, this thread has been a great inspiration for many new and old drivers alike.
Thanks again

 

we may be massholes here in ma. but skidoo yall are maineyaks!!!lol I was once coming through back from greenville me. pulling equip trailer with small backhoe looked in side mirror and the were three vehicles behind me an all were trying to pass each other an overtake me an one passed another as he passed me.

 

What has impressed me is this: While reading the Prime forums and posts, I have gotten the feeling that, even though this company does hire unqualified drivers and put them through CDL training, they do not have the same "starter company" approach I read on other forums, even with companies that aren't that much larger than Prime. It's almost like they understand what responsiblity, authority, and professionalism really mean. I like that.
