    Your not the only one. I hear of this while I am BS'ing in truck stops. One guy was brought there and sent home because he was on an anti depressant.

    Does anyone know how long Prime has been doing this? Try 20 years. When will you people get the picture. They are greedy and get away with it because they own everyone in MO.

    The US has the best politicians money can buy.

    ..after reading most of the other 'bad company' posts here, PRIME-TIME is probably close to the bottom; i will stay away from this company!

    What works for some does not work for others regardless which company they go with.

    I would say at least 50 - 75% of the negative posts about PRIME ( any company) are BS.

    There is 1 poster who posts on 2 different sites about PRIME 1 is positive ( going to be a Lease Operator ) the other negative ( PRIMES lease is a rip off ) and he has yet to even apply there.

    Clown cannot even do the math in his head $800.00 / Week is = to $36,000.00 / year so right there anyone reading his INFO should realize he is bogus..

    Prime is a big company so they get flack, just like Swift... Talk to the drivers at the truck stops instead of these message boards if you want the truth... I talk to Prime drivers on the road all the time and they seem to be happy. I cant stand Swift, but I have two friends still there, but it works for them but not me. If Prime was all that bad, they wouldnt be in business (just like Swift). The key to be happy on the road as a truck driver is to find the carrier that offers what your needs are. Good luck and Drive Safe:biggrin_25525:.

    I heard the same thing, expect to be out 3 or 4 weeks at a time. Some people cant be away from home that long and some can. Everybody is different and lives a different lifestyle. But thats trucking, we have alot to choose from.

    you go through their "school" and then you are obligated to drive for them 1 year or pay 3,000 for the "schooling"

    If your new at the game, ya gotta start somewhere. Kind of a "pay your dues" kinda thing. It could be worse than Prime, believe me. Actually, your lucky to get hired as a new hand in this economy right now. Good luck to ya!
