Heading out for Prime Sunday

hey they say you get a minum of $ 400.00 with in 30 days is that true was woundering when it kicks in

 

LMFAO! I have to agree to the fullest! If you get by the Petro there, nothing but thug's gangbanger's, drug dealer's, prositutes and they are all black. I'm not racist but that's all you see entering the place. I've never seen a white person on the street side. Everybody who lives there slow's down dramatically and put's their flasher's on when it rain's...... It's pathetic. I'm glad the last time I saw it was in the mirror's.

 

so they have everything you can think of at prime do they have computers ????

 

Paul, are you talking about computer's for the driver's to use for internet? Most companies have computer's for dispatcher's only but I haven't seen a company with PC's setup for driver use. Truck stop's have internet access computer's normally located by the pay phones but be ready to shell out some money to use those because they charge by the minute so you had better be a good typest and get it right the first time.

 

yeah i hear yeah,,,,no i thought sence prime has got everything up to a weight room that they had a computer lounge for the drivers was not sure ill be to busy studing so would not be much use to me even if they did have one....so whats it like driving for pirme everyone says its great i cant wait to get there ill be comeing down there on the 7th for class. i think it is really neat that you go OTR with a 1 on 1 instructor for training not to many trucking co. do that.

 

Well, I don't have a CDL yet either but from experiance stay away from Prime's lease program. From the exp. and what I hear from everyone else it will pull you under. My step dad only leased for a month and ran a sum total of 14,000 hard miles and ended up owning the company $75 so he didn't see a pay check because of the truck. The company driving doesn't sound like a bad deal though. Good luck with class!

 

ive heard the same about the lease program, how do you get a truck then if you cant really lease ????....are you comeing to class???? good luck

 

question does prime have computers that we can use answer yes upstairs drivers lounge in milleium blding 24/7 yes free no charge just blocked for porn and such. you do not have to lease at prime and all the rumors about them forcing you or trying to get you to lease are false in fact they have company drivers in all 3 divisions and they keep them running just like us lease operators . i do train and i would advise you go company for atleast 1 year so you can get used to primes way and learn the freight routes . ive been here 18 years and well its not always roses im still here. you get out what you put in you will go everywhere and if you live on east coast get used to ny and nj lol traffic what traffic i dont mean to interupt your conversion just hope to give you some answers feel free to ask away ill try to answer them for yous

 

people been saying stay company not lease can you tell me why....i wont be a o/o untill a year or so but like to know where the best place to get a truck that you can depend on and not spend all your money on the bills and not have nothing left over....i mean do i lease a truck thru prime or should i get it some place else ....thank you for answering my post driver im paul and hopefully will run into each other take care
