(New) Prime Inc. Springfield Mo.

who ever said prime is a scam is wrong If he would have had his cdl permit from his home state he would have been starting out on the right foot. Ive been talking to a couple people on another site (pd) who are using prime for their training and they have been nothing but down to earth and answered any questions I ask. They share positives equally with negatives.

The one thing I keep hearing is they will not baby you and hold your hand for you if you dont know something or dont understand something then you need to ask a question. Ive basically been told when I go to prime If i dont ask a question they assume I know what Im doing. If I dont know what Im doing and I dont ask im SOL.

I may not be a driver yet but Ive been told many times, How you act and what your attitude is determines much of what happens to you in the trucking field.

Hi its cruzer and yes Prime offers a quick basic cdl one day aplication.
DOT Exam CDL Permit Test and then your off and on the road.
A buddy drives for Prime its been over two years now! howlong..
before they try to make him sign on a lease or lower his miles.
Any former PRIME INC driver please come back on this Cruzer

 

Hey.. I've been reading this post as well as a few others about PRIME. I'm considering jumping on a leased truck as a 2nd seat driver. Meaning, I'm not responsible for truck pymt, fuel, etc. The truck would be ran as a TEAM, not just a ride-along.

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about this arrangement? I mean from what I understand, I would have no responsibilities other then make miles and make money.

What do ya'll think?

if you want to be treated right please stay away from prime, when i was training there i got screwed everyday, my trainer was quiting because over a 6 week period he went 2000 in the hole because of bad loads, they have no respect for you as a driver, !!!

 

Maybey that is why he was making you drive the 15-19 hr days to trying and play catch up.

 

From the sounds of his snivling.....I doubt he could drive 11....much less 15-19.

Concrete Angel.....Yes, you are right. You would not be responsible for any of the costs. And, depending on what you worked out with your A-Seat....the money is pretty good. I know one pair of drivers that split everything 50/50 after costs. And, they each average $1300 - $1600 a week!

 

Prime told me I was ready to go and sent me across the country on a bus. So I said goodbye to my wife and kids who were in tears but I had to make more money to keep my family alive in these hard times. So I quit my current job because my recruiter said everything was fine with my background so as long as I study and pass the tests no problem. First day I'm there they said I can't work here because I disclosed I take Ambien to sleep at night. They sent me all the way back across the country on a bus and I have no job. Thanks for the life change you promised Prime.
