    Don't worry about it. There is always going to be some fool accusing someone of either doing something or not doing something. Anyone who does any amount of research on here knows who is legit and who is just showing out.

    LOL do you guys realize that they pay people from Prime to post on here on a regular basis? Just to keep the company looking good. I'm positive anyone on here that says anything good about the company is working for them. But if you want to be a sheep and go work for them go ahead. They will suck you dry for as long as they can. After 3 to 6 months and your broke and either bankrupt or sucking out your savings don't come crying to me. I TOLD YOU SO!!!

    There are ways to spot the ones that are recruiters. They all tip their hands sooner or later. Besides, this forum is open to everyone as long as they follow the rules of the forum.

    THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE TO ME. Just because I personally had a good experience with Prime and think they are a good company, I am a "spy"? How disgusting! I get reined in on one thread by MODs, but you can make such an offensive accusation and, hey, it's okay. I am NOT, NEVER HAVE BEEN, and NEVER WILL BE a recuriter for Prime or being paid by them to do ANYTHING. PERIOD. I had a good experience, and family obligations changed the arrangement. End of story. Is it so hard to believe? Unbelievable.

    what i find strange is that if you had a problem with the apu, why not go to a tk or carrier shop and let them fix it? If it's under warrenty, shouldn't be a problem.

    Sound like a poor excuse just wanting to go to the company xmas party to me.
    What more important making money or going to xmas party?

    Im having positive experience here at Prime and you guys just look for anything to pick it apart...

    If you had any reading comprehension you would know that I stated I was 100 miles from the terminal...

    I should have done what you would do...

    -drive by the terminal, which is on the most direct route to my 90, because the half mile off the interstate was going to cost sooo much...

    -continue on down the road to some other Thermo King, again skipping the one that is 5 miles from the Terminal and is open for sure on Saturday unlike some, Salt Lake City for sure...

    -Then paying for a hotel room in this other city (which I would be reimbursed)... skipping the hotel with the convention center where the party was because Prime owns it and a free shuttle to and from the terminal, hotel, and Thermo King...

    -also a day and a half in this other city with no vehicle, because I drove past my car that I left in long term parking at the Terminal.

    -Pass on the Free booze and quality food and a chance to see a few drivers and staff I know.

    Yeah, I think your decision would have been the dumb one.

    You seem to know so much... can you tell me who in the company I can contact about this... If its true then I must be missing some money from my check.

    "I'm positive anyone on here that says anything good about the company is working for them." -truckinman

    Preach on brother... that says it all. I would hope that everyone that works for Prime would be positive about the company, but you cant please everyone...

    Ive stated it elsewhere, I am a company driver. As such, I have fewer responsibilities and liabilitys than a lease driver. This in turn means I have a lower more fixed earning potential. I also have a lot less freedom.

    Risk vs. Reward plain and simple.

    Ive got 3 friends leasing that are taking these last 2 weeks of the year off, and they say they can afford to. Me, Im allowed 1 day off for every 7 days out (bankable days off) and limited to no more than 4 days off in a row each time.

    I like my truck, I get good gas milage and think I could do really well if I picked up the lease on it. With the economy the way it is and my personal debt situation, I am happy with what I make and the dent I am making in that debt.
