New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

Lol. Thank you October. Glad your happy there. I guess I am looking at the right company .

 

In my humble opinion I would say so. Coming from the worst company to Prime had made me appreciate what Prime offers and see how lucky I am to be here. But as my family keeps telling, it's part of paying your dues and getting the experience in this industry so you can get the better jobs.

In case you were wondering, I am a company driver. I want to go lease but won't do that until I get out of debt. At the rate I am going with this company I am hoping less then 2 years.

 

redoctober, how long have you been with Prime ? and driving a LW ?

 

I started in driving for Prime in June 16 of this year.

 

oh ok, thanks.... so far so go ? lots of miles and getting you home enough ?

 

So far very good. I am actually on home time right now. Suppose to come off of it in about 45 minutes. Been home since last Thursday. I personally stay out on the road for about 6-7 weeks at a time. This is my first time home since I started in June 16. I am averaging 2,500 miles a week so far.

 

6-7 weeks wow, bet your family loves that

 

Well I wont bug you, enjoy the time you have.

 

Well I am single with no kids. I moved back in with my parents when I started driving. No need to pay rent for a place that I am only at a couple days a month.

I got into trucking last October because I had a business partner that screwed me over, ran off with almost $40k from the business and left me with lots of debt. He just up and disappeared and no where to be found. So I ended up selling everything I owned, paid off as much as I could from that and still have a fair amount left to pay off. Started driving out of desperation but have fallen in love with it now and can't wait to be out of debt so I can start saving up to buy my own truck!

 

thats is to bad, love those partnerships. someday when your going through my area, I would love to see your LW truck... I am in AZ between flagstaff and williams right off the I-40.
my youngest is off to college next year, she is a senior this coming year, so I can give my wife a break LOL
