    Does anyone have info for this company? I have seen the one post on here about them. But thats it. I had never even heard of them till they popped up wanting to offer me a job. Any info would be great...ohh and the job they offered me was a dedicated position that would have me home every weekend. Thanks

    If you were to trust in the faith and veracity of the one long post on here concerning Priority, you would avoid them like a plague. But, the person that originally posted that left us all with big doubts about his credibility, and it was noted that there were several gaping holes in his stories.

    Other than that, they have pretty much stayed below the radar screen. There was some slight concerns about their possible safety ratings, but I can't say anything negative against them. I see them all the time, they are doing the speed limit, seem to be driving safely, and as far as I know, seem to be an acceptable company if you like doing reefer work. The equipment seems to be late model and in good shape, and had I not read the tales on here, I wouldn't have any quibbles about saying that they would be worth further investigation.

    Yeah i searched for stuff on them for about a week. I didnt find any information anywhere other than here. I dont really think the long post the guy made was worth a hoot. I checked into his story as much as i could...even asking at the company for info about him and no one was sure what i was talking about. So im not sure what to think about all that. But im on here asking now because im set to leave out with them wednesday the 5th. Just thought i would throw it out there and see what i come up with. Thanks

    Why Thank You. It's always a pleasure to know that someone new on here took the time over the two days that they have been here to go back and read all the posts I have made over the last 15 months or so and evaluated them. It makes me feel good to know that someone went through all the acrhives and is able to digest the advice that I and others have given over that time. Your interest is greatly appreciated and warms the ####les of my heart.

    And I sincerely hope that you don't get taken for yet a fourth time on a million mile truck with your next purchase, since you seem unable to admit the truth when it's staring you in the face.

    Best of luck!

    You, Sir, are going to quickly wear out your welcome with this attitude. First of all, the man's name is BURKY, not medium load. Medium load is his FORUM RANKING. He is a highly respected member here who has never failed to give quality advice about anything he saw fit to reply to, and few here, including myself, will tolerate this sort of bashing.

    Frankly, this post of yours offers a little unsight as to why you were ripped off in that many high mileage truck sales.

    Why thank you Mack, I appreciate the support. I'm truly sorry this guy got taken three times in a row, but it doesn't seem that he is going to accept any advice about how to avoid it in the future. But I'll bet that each and every one of those trucks had some really nice chrome on them.

    I'm sorry Smokestack, that your post denigrated into something other than what it was intended as. It happens sometimes, and there isn't much you can do to prevent it in an open forum. And things like this, with one side or the other making claims, is why I often recommend to someone new on here that they sit back and go through the older posts on here. Not only will you often find that your questions may have been answered already, but you can also evaluate the info given to you by someone. As I often point out on these sites, you are getting free advice from a total stranger over the internet, so you need to do a little bit of digging around to find out if that stranger is on the up and up, or if they are coming in from way out in left field.

    As for me, I am comfortable standing by the things I have said on here in the past. You may disagree with me, but rarely will you prove me to be completely off base on what I say.

    Again, sorry your post got caught up in this.
