After four months of riding and training and running my trainers truck(which is a story in itself) I have finally completed my first solo run as of this morning.Pretty smoove run and ride for the most part.No major issues but i was schocked at the amount that chains and load locks and everything eles cost. All in all so far so good. Be surprise at would you can do when your by yourself and dont need to have help. More thoughts on my experiences as I experience the highs and lows of trucking..

Did you go lease or company?
-
Went company.I'm new to the industry and knew lease wasn't for me at this stage in my career,although my trainers fm tried his best to get me to go lease and be on his board.Respectfully declined and told him why and he was cool.Told ke if wanted to go lease he'd take me back no question..Think if and when that time comes i would rather get my own truck and just lease it to prime.

Thanks appericate it..

Be careful out there. There is apparently some black hole Prime flatbedders have been falling into. They post a couple times here after gstting their trucks then disappear lol. OpenRoadDreamer just fell off the planet and he used to post a lot.

Rumor is that ORD didn't like all the Prime trolls on here and decided to stop posting. Last I heard he was still truckin' though.

PRIME makes you pay for required equipment ?
