    I just don't like your additude, saying I miss heard....I was just stating what they wanted is all....As for the pay part that was a joke. I'm not some idiot that just rolled out from under a rock. So get over yourself and stop lieing to yourself that prime or any other compnay is all that and a bag of chips. All companies are the same they will screw you if they get a chance. No matter if it's prime or any other company. They wouldn't be a company if thier #1 interest was them. Anyone who think this company or that company is the best thing since sliced bread is either stupid or just lieing to themselves. That's exactly why I will never lease a truck from anyone and will never buy a truck and lease onto a company. They pay for thier trucks first they have others who are to pay for the other trucks so who cares about them. I know what to expect and don't need to lie to myself or others. So please tell me if I am wrong (I know you will) after training the pay will stay around $600 a week average over the whole year (some will be more some will be less but that's what it will average out to be) over a year I will be home about 30-35 days total.

    I'm sure the haters love you. Not even employed yet and already a critic
    That's OK. You've got just as much Prime experiance as most of them.

    Place your bets! I give him 7 months.

    Who want's overs/unders?

    Attitude is huge in this industry. A bad attitude will destroy your career before you even start it. You're already going in thinking you're going to get screwed by Prime. Chances are, in a few months from now we'll be reading a post about how you're getting screwed by Prime.

    Good luck with that Mav... good choice on August too. You'll get some training time with winter conditions.

    Look at all the ones who are lieing to themselves..... and it sure is funny no one said I was wrong.....lol.....Don't worry about how long I stay. I already know what I am doing. Whoever bets a year will be right as I don't plan on staying after that. I can tell the ones who are on here will say anything to make themselves feel better about what they are doing.

    Not guaranteed though. I started the first week in August, got my CDL the last day of August, and went solo the 2nd week of December without driving in any winter weather.... Christmas day in Laramie, WY that changed, and quick. I also learned why you don't set your trailer brakes in sub-zero temps that day, and finally found a good use for Petro coffee.

    Well I will take that to heart as a lesson hopefully I won't duplicate. LOL!!!! Of course I do enjoy a good cup of coffee, however, to drink, not to use on my trailer brakes. LOL!

    Anyways, I am looking forward to my start at Prime. I appreciate everyone's opinions and threads on Prime. I took into account everyone's good and bad about Prime and came to the realization, that Prime was a better fit for me than say, the other starting companies.
