Prime flatbed

I thought Prime was mostly just for lease operators. Don't know why I thought that. Maybe it was from looking at their site.

I wish I could help, but I really don't know anything about Prime. All's I know is their trucks must be governed pretty low since I passed them regularly in PAM's trucks (64mph). I'm cleared for orientation this monday with a smaller flatbed outfit that is based in my area. I never ran a flatbed, but they're going to put me with a trainer following the completion of the week long orientation of course.

Pay is way better than PAM though. J.B. Hunt offered a slightly better pay but it was a 3 month out and paid week off ($800). So that's 4 paid week vacations a yr. They also offered a 14 on 2 off for slightly lower pay. Whereas the flatbed outfit boasts similar pay and home most weekends. I hear smaller outfits treat you better so I'm probably going to keep on course with this flatbed outfit. Good to know that if it falls through I can turn to J.B. Hunt though.

I think BTC may be a good flatbed outfit (Builders Transportation Company). I put in with them but they haven't called yet.

 

Definitely, good luck to you too. Running 61-64 doesn't bother me either. In certain conditions it's better to run slower anyway. I have to admit though, I have a hot foot, and I've proven successful with it. I better wait till I get some more exp. before I try and open the road though. I have a clean record now, best to keep it that way huh.
