I drove for Prime for 6 months, 10mpg loaded was not hard to obtain, I never remember doing 13mpg, but on a 150 mile empty move I did slightly better than 12. You got to know, everything about the company is fuel mileage...lightweight trucks, super singles, hubcaps, lightweight trailers, aluminium wheels on trailer with singles, skirts, tails, etc......
Why does everyone hate Prime so much?

Straight Stacks Thanks this. -

Just jokingdclerici1 Thanks this. -
I run wide open. 75+ all day long and have never had any problems passing a prime truck. Or anyone else really. Occasionally you have to slow down on the interstate, big deal.
I actually like Prime a lot more than your average starter. Rob Lowe got rich because he started a company, God bless him. The man made a goal and accomplished it. Today he's getting people their CDL and paying them a much more attractive rate than the likes of Werner, CRE, Swift.Poacher, thaistick, redoctober83 and 1 other person Thank this. -
He's also a movie star!

I see what I did there. Drop the E lolChinatown Thanks this.

This is very much possible with prime's trucks pulling fully loaded. They are set up and geared for that kind of mpg.
Here is some proof of what can be done with there trucks. I was pulling a load out of El Paso, TX going to Long Island, NY. It was 29,680 lbs and this was my average for the trip. Before you dimwitted drivers tell me that number means nothing, it matched the paper and pen method of calculating the average mpg. -

No, not at all. Nice try there Chinatown, lol

No, it is not photoshopped. 2 of my 2015 evolutions achieve that and better sometimes. DD15 505, 13 spd, 3.55 rears. I plan on buying 3 more at the end of 2016 if we don't go into a recession again.redoctober83 Thanks this.
