    Would you leave prime if they made it legal so you could pull all 3 types of trailers at any givin moment?

    You mean all 3 divisions trailers?

    I think the V series dry vans count as 4 given their uniqueness. FedEx air cargo container dedicated (no reefer, special sloted track floor for securement)

    I cant haul a reefer. My headache rack limits the room back there. Dry van I could do. Dont have a tanker endorsment, so cant do those neither. I have done a container they put on the flatbed and I chained/strapped down.

    some people cant handle a certain way some companies do things. Or had bad experiences financially. My thing is every company is going to have its plus or minuses. And in reality trucking is not for everyone. Word of advice: do the best you can at whatever you do and keep your head up and you'll be fine

    Prime has been good to me so far. Had my ups n downs, but thats life. Read the first 105 pages of this thread, my experiences are in there. I also have the flatbed thread here.
