    Something I always look for when looking at a company is how spiteful/defense the employee's are.

    As its been mentioned, insecurities are laud.

    From where I sit, when the complaints outnumber the compliments, especially at the proportion they do with Prime, that is enough for me to arrive at the conclusion that something is wrong with that picture.

    Whether any company cares is beside the point. That is why we're here. Notice the headline at the top of this subforum. We are the driver's version of the detestable DAC report.

    I would definitely not do a lease @ Prime, especially if you're not experienced. That's just a recipe for disaster. I think it's fair to say the odds are stacked against the L/O's.

    I will say this though. If making close to 60k/yr (once they finish the 2-3 months of training) for the rookies coming in for OTR is awful then they're guilty as charged.

    I find it curious that you keep saying somone owes "US" money. Do you have some sort of personal stake in whether or not said money gets repaid?

    LOL...When another vehicle was the cause of the accident.... Doesn't matter what type of rider you are...

    And no Prime's school isn't funded by the anyone but them, there for they don't go after people for money....

    Its no wonder why you work for them... LOL

    Except a fairly large portion of that side of the story is coming from people who either never worked there and spew out false information or were there for a short period of time, had a negative experience and left.

    In my opinion it was a very good place to work when I was there. But we all have opinions and it's not the same for everyone.

    What a character @nofreetime is. The amount of accidents and injuries caused by "trained" Prime Drivers a year is startling.

    At the end of the day, it's pretty safe to say there is no middle ground at Prime. Either Love it or hate it.

    Threads just getting old and repetitive at this point. I don't have any skin in the game there and as mentioned before highly unlikely anything we say here will make an ounce of difference to them or anyone else for that matter.

    Have a great day and God bless you all. Peace :biggrin_255:

    No not other than the fact that I've been here long to FEEL like I take ownership in the company or at least in the small part that I play within it.
