    Hey guys and gals. I am starting my lease with Prime trucking. I have ten years company experience, but let my CDL lapse so had to start from scratch at their CDL school. (1 more month of training thank GOD.) I need know the specifics on the tanker division. I do not want to run west, and they primarily are east of Missouri. I need to know the take home pay, the rules on load assignments, and their hometime policy. I need to be home every 29th-31 and that is it. The rest of the month I will be running 70 hours....thank you!!
    Please email me at Smokeythetrucker@gmail.com, so we can talk on the phone at length. THANKS!!

    Is that why they average 1500$ after all expenses and then have a truck paid with only 450K miles after 3 years? Oh, never knew what a scam meant ;)

    Tanks are 48 month leases because of the extra equipment.

    Also the truck isn't yours at lease completion. But I'm sure Prime would love to finance the truck for you after you've already paid $3000 per month for the last 4 years.

    I'm sorry...I don't usually (never) reply to these post. But I felt compelled in this case.
    For the individual who implied they cleared $1500 after all expenses involved with a lease purchase program at ANY company...well...NO YOU DONT...and please think about what you say.
    First...it's mathamacticly impossible. So...that's first and last...
    And well...itsts makes you look bad.
    You all you young'ns out here that think you know everything...you dont.
    And for the ones that CAN remember the old HIS of service (prior to what you may think...itsts not ALWAYS been this ridiculous 14 and 11) and if you can't remember prior to the team they changed the law...you're still a young'n when it comes to trucking. (I first crawled behind the wheel of one of these rugs while in Nam and been here ever since.
    I'm just an ol hand...but l/p programs are not designed for you to succeed. Period.
    If you need to know anything else...join OOIDA...they will help you and support the real truckers that carry the great Nation on their backs.
    Yours truly...Alabama hillbilly
    Don't let the handle mislead you...and stay safe out here
