    Just tell the station, theyll call Prime for you. At least they did for me last year. Good luck!!

    Every one Ive seen has it. Really annoying if ya dont know the code...

    Is Dr Zebra still with Prime? Boy that guy really pushed that lease program. Said it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

    Went through the program last yearn only heard the lease program mentioned a couple times. They don't push the lease.

    Some company drivers at prime make 70k+ a year,

    and some lease drivers easily surpass that !


    that sure beats sliced bread....

    That sounds very unrealistic.

    Is that what you were told?

    Dr Z still runs lease for Prime, although I don't recall him posting on TTR. He ran Primedrivers.com for quite some time though.

    $70k net before taxes isn't unreasonable for someone teaming.

    Been thinking of returning to Prime, left before my training (team) phase was complete due to a 90 MPH trainer who repeatedly tossed me out of the bunk. I guess my question would be how have things changed since 2008 ? Better or worse ? Haven't done any driving to speak of since leaving just an occasional 10hr haul of tools or equipmnet for the mechanical contractor I'm currently laid off from. Just kicking around for some insight or advice.
