    I hate prime.
    I hate'em,I hat'em, I hate'em.

    Every time I blow by one these rolling round
    Blocks, the driver has 2 hands locked on
    The steering wheel like he's holding on for dear life
    At 58 mph. Lol.

    I hate prime,
    I hate'em, I hate'em, I hate'em.

    Prime is a starter company. They just pay a little more than most starter companies that train start to finish. Might make 50 to 60k first year vs 30 to 40k.

    If you stay past your year and arent training you are selling yourself short.
    Theres money in training at Prime. How much exactly im not sure i dont believe a word anyone tells me unless i see pay stubs or tax returns. But i have a rough estimate and its decent. For me i will never train so once my year is up im out...maybe sooner.

    Btw company trucks are governed at 58 on the pedal 62 on cruise. Lease are 65 for both. Anybody going less is drivers choice.

    Are we the nuisance going 62 to 65 or is it the drivers that are still doing 65 to 70 when the roads are covered in snow and ice?? Guess ill ask the next guy i pass on his side in a ditch.
