My Prime student-to-lease experience

That's right.

 

If you keep your truck maintained regularly 300k mi should have anything relatively major happen..now could something happen?..sure because its a motor vehicle...but chances are slim compared to if you ignore any signs early..

 

That’s a lot of stress, you really gotta haul ### non stop to keep up

 

Lol 3500 bucks A WEEK!!!

Prime is still making most of the money from the load while doubling the price of the truck even in the unlikely scenario that you actually succeed. (While kneecapping you with their 58mph BS)

When you don't, they still made all of your money and keep the truck to do it again with the next buffoon in line.

Meanwhile their 1000s of rolling roadblocks make everyone on the interstate miserable when miles of traffic piles up because other buffoons can't figure out how to pass them fast enough.

 

Their so proud of their lease plan that they forgot to tell you how much it costs to lease.....

The guy in the ad looks so happy! Must be a great deal!

 

Hey. I got offered that recently. Tell me how it goes.

 

Weren't they known as Dollar truck at one point?

 

Apparently this is one of the big deals now. I can understand them if you're on a tight schedule.

But I was at a company where I had plenty of time on a load and the dispatcher was railing me for taking a 12 hour break. I like a 12 hour break a few times a week. And I was staying out a month at a time.

This is the kind of thing that really pisses me off. I liked it better on paper logs. I would run hard 4 days maybe 6 hours off a day and creative logging. But then I took a couple of days off while my logs caught up to me. That was relaxing. Run hard, rest easy.
