    Because what Prime has isn't a traditional lease..you know how many guys Prime would lose if you could just get a truck zero down then run under your authority smh anyway I have a buddy there still and he's been there for a decade and he said you can't get your authority until the truck is either paid off or financed from a outside source other then Prime

    Well your "friend" needs to read the contract and then he might know how it can be done.

    Also, he had to put a small down security deposit in order to take a lease truck from prime.

    I didn't say you can't take a truck to another carrier we've already established you can. I said authority

    He pulled the links down before I could see them, but seems like he made his point..... Maybe let this one go :)

    I think it comes down to the legal issues of being an "independent contractor" ... if they want to say your not an employee they MUST allow you to take the truck and run it under your own authority. :)

    Quiet interesting topic. I want to know how that works? How would you get your own authority without a prime truck?

    Its one of many options. It worked for him and so that's what he did and more power to him.
