    No it's not drama or an insult it is in my opinion a fact. We all share opinions here. It floors me when someone doesn't agree with someone else's opinion it's all of a sudden an insult.

    Miles, miles, miles in my opinion is foolish. I'd rather drive less and make more. There is exactly 0 chance of that happening with mileage pay.


    I've layed out the facts (my opinion) so I'll jump out of this one before it gets stupid.

    I know Melton is 3 weeks with a trainer is Prime 3 months?

    Prime drivers I've encountered were nice people and had no problem driving but 3 months with a trainer wasn't even on my radar when I was new.

    I've been at Melton since November 2015 and overall I've been very happy here. I make .48/mi, benefits are pretty good and low insurance costs. overall I average 2200 to 2500 a week some weeks a bit less, quite a few closer to 3000 if I'm feeling motivated

    Given that I have worked at prime. I would say prime, just don't go lease. I hear good things about melton they have driver facing cameras, another option would be maverick or tmc. if it was my choice and I didn't have a pet I would have started with tmc hands down they have the best training program as far as securement and tarping

    5, maybe six years ago, you could view Prime's securement handbook on their website. Don't know if it's still there.
