    why would you post on the good side of maverick. and quit and go to prime that is suppose to be such a bad company to work for and sign a lease.... i mean you been on the site since jan 07 and you seen all the bad post on prime, and the way the economy is flat bedding has slowed down... thats why i call your statement untrue, a false posting.... come on dude no one is going to pay anyone .20 a mile. i think you never even went to prime and signed a lease cause you would have posted on it more.. i think even onetime you posted in steve and los thread PRIME TIME about a lease program and you said you would never do a lease.... so your false posting or basically not telling the truth... i could bash on that maverick company about the retard driversthat always do uturns in my neighbordrive and he is always have to pull them outwith the jd. but that has recently stopped cause he called the company and sent in pictures and videos..... but i don't...


    lies lies lies

    the truth will set you free

    I cant verify what Notarps said happend to him at Prime, but in the past I have read quite a few of his posts and can say he has never struck me as someone to make stuff up. Its pretty safe to say he has a good rep around here.

    All you can ask for is details, and he provided his... Its up to the reader to decide... It's alot more than other people who spout off provide.

    Search the threads I posted a lot of what happened when I was at prime. I almost went belly up with them. If it had not been for my savings account we would have lost everything.

    I decided to try a lease. I could not get into mav's and I had been on their waiting list for 6 months. I was looking at prime and ats and went with prime because it was closer to home and figured I would be able to get home with them. Wrong. They told me I could get home weekly no problem. I was in the middle of 3 of their regions for flatbed. Lied to again, but I did not find that out till after I signed the lease and went upstairs to be put on the board. Everything was a cluster there. From getting the truck to getting loads. They had no idea what the left hand was doing from the right. Go to altus pick up a truck. Pull stacked flats back here for us and then we will lease you that truck. Problem was there was no flat trailers there to pull back. So they dispatched me to go pick a load up to bring back to springfield. I get the load and see it will be out of route if I take it to springfield so I call and ask do you want me to deliver it then come to the yard?
    I was told I am not a lease or co driver for them. I can not pull a load??? Since I have not leased the truck yet. Finally was told to bring the load to the yard. After I was finally paid I found out that it was for 20 some cents a mile. I had to tarp this load as well. Every time I was given a load I was lied to one way or the other. I was lied to every time I was told something. I got tired of being treated like a doormat. I don't like being lied to by dispatch. Tell me upfront doesn't matter if I don't like what I hear, but do not lie to me. I got tired of going broke and being lied to. I followed their fuel and routing. They charge you for all kinds of crap. They credit you. Put it back on your statement then take it off again on the next. It is like they are trying to make it so confusing with the money laundering that if you don't know what your being billed for you won't ask. I would not send my worst enemy to this place. I made more money with maverick in orientation than I did with 30 days of pulling freight for this company.

    They only had 2 beat up freightshakers for flats. We were told you have these 2 or go to altus to pick up one of the passmore trucks. I think they had about 30 of them. All long nose pete's

    Thank you. I do clown around a lot and I like to have fun, but I am dead serious. I have not lied about anything that happened there. I would have went belly up. I did clean out my savings trying to keep the bills paid and it took awhile to recover.

    I checked out Prime at one time about 16 months ago. I just can not stand Freightshakers and asked about getting a 387. Was told those trucks were not available to new contractors in the reefer division. Actually, things worked out better for my situation by finding a company closer to home.
