Sure if you say so. My mom started with Prime Inc and eventually found a better deal. From the majority of the Prime drivers I have talked to weren't happy whether it was them complaining about their miles or home time, or the dispatchers...so it is amazing I know what it's like to drive for Prime just by talking to a hand full of y'alls drivers but not all that I have talked too had bad things to say about y'all but more complained than that said they love there job driving for Prime.

@Ironpony not once did I demand respect from you or anyone else in here and like I said before not passing judgement on any of you in here. It's about having courtesy on the road when your in a slower truck. "Considering Prime, sell me" is the name of thread didn't know it was for just Prime drivers.
Thanks for your service. -

I drove for a company OTR their trucks were governed at 60mph without a problem and lucky if they got 5.5-5.75 out of their trucks. I know the greatest expense for a trucking company is their fuel expense. I travel on US 54 in the Texas Panhandle between Dalhart and Stratford and see all the CRST, Swift, ABF, FedEx, and some other governed carriers(slower than the posted speed limit) and the majority of the time they have anywhere from 5-10 vehicles behind them and don't have the courtesy to move halfway on the shoulder(which is not illegal in the state of Texas) to let that big truck or four wheeler that is tailing gating them around. Myself even at the posted speed limit get passed and if there is a line of traffic behind me I slow down and let em all pass when it's safe to instead of them trying to pass going up a hill or curve...etc...so when it comes down to it I rather be able to drive the posted speed limit in whatever state I am in and get a few more miles down the road and home a lil quicker(which mileage don't matter where I work cause we get paid by the load not the mile). If I ever drove for a slow company again I would still have the courtesy to allow someone to pass me that wanted too..I'm not passing judgement on any of the drivers on this form just stating my opinion...Click to expand...
I was just in your neck of the woods the other day. You guys have some clean trucks. -

Especally on US54 usually stay behind the slow vehicles instead of trying to pass em just a courtesy thing by letting the faster ones by ya. We have to get our trucks washed either everyday or at least every other day which is alright cause DOT rarely messes with us cause our trucks are always clean and maintained really well. Cargill don't like our trucks dirty lol. Wash em and head to the dirty feedyards lol. -
