    And those guys probably don't get a fuel bonus anyway. As long as I get there on time and make money who cares about speed??? If I was interested in speed I would go drive a NASCAR.

    If prime is governed at 62 like tmc why are they one of the few companies that tmc can pass under any circumstances. Also I drove for tmc for 7.5 months and only my first week did I gross under $1100.00 . I was consistently grossing $1300-$1500 weekly and home every weekend how many prime drivers can say that?

    Good luck to you man. You hear a lot of crap about Prime (or any other company for that matter,) but I don't hear too many of their drivers ########. I met a Prime driver once that was averaging a 9.3mpg driving 54mph. You do your thing and let these other guys talk their ####.

    ok n00b.

    LOL, Well I was governed at 64 mph and passed plenty of other trucks, but only when I was in a hurry. Normally ran at 55 mph to get the extra fuel bonus. My normal week was about your gross, but unlike you guys we only get home every 3 weeks. Thats one of the reasons I think they, Prime, have such a high turn over rate.
