Hello? Im heading to Prime

Actually total commercial driving experience is over 5 years with one year over the road and the rest with local work. How much do you have? NONE.

So if you don't "give a darn about all this Prime stuff" then why come here? This thread is for people who are seriously looking at Prime as a job choice and want to get information about Prime. Yo looked at them and decided you didn't want to go there. Just like you have looked at a bunch of other companies and decided you didn't want to go there. In another post you say you "think" about what companiesdo and tat is true because you have absolutely no personal experience with any of them and yet you come here and run up your post count to hoepfully mae some people think you know what you are talking about. But the thing is 99.9 percent can see right through your posts.

Actually, you are so enamored with yourself and your "brilliance" that your posts are quite comical. They make for a great laugh. You "pulled the covers" on drivers making trainees drive at night. And just where did you obtain that wealth of knowledge; sitting at your keyboard or did you have a vision one night and decide to come here and give us your prophetic knowledge.

If you are not interested in Prime, which is your own admission, and you have no actual knowledge of what Prime is like, which is fact because you have never driven for them, or anyone else for that matter, then why don't you get off this thread and quit wasting the space giving us your theories. Those of us who have driving experience want to help those who are looking for a job in this slow economy make the best decision they can. And the ONLY way for them to do that is to gather as much information about a company as they can. That means visiting every site possible, not just this one.

 

Well said, U2. Actually, guys like mannmk7 and his friend DNA Mach do nothing but expose what little knowledge they have when they make the comments they do.

Those of us who have been there know that APU's are the best thing in the industry these days, even for teams. With major cities and even states limiting idling it gets pretty unbearable waiting for hours to get a truck unloaded with no air. One only has to do a day time unload in Phoenix in August once to know that 5 minutes in an hour is not enough.

Glad to hear things are working well for you. The reality is, if a person runs smart they can do well. What I have learned about Prime is they will do what they can to help you run smart. So have a good day in your cardboard tractor and don't get stuck under any bridges. LOL

 

He seems to be PRIME OBSESSED more than just PRIME is terminating drivers / L/O and O/O's for poor fuel mileage.

He is suppose to a business wiz he should realize that it all impacts the bottom line $ wise and to cut the so called dead wood in the current economic state that things are in is the thing to do.

There are people employed in many so called HIGHER class fields than trucking that live in next to HOMELESS conditions.

 

This bickering is getting old
You guys are posting useful info, its the fighting in between that needs to stop

 

What I meant about the Prime stuff is the bad stuff. I come hear to see that not just all that happy horse **** will be offered up to new bee's. I want them to get the side I have picked up on. They will know that I'm a wannabe, they will know I've been here since May. The can make their decision accordingly. I come here because, like you said, 'I ticked somebody off ', (on the site that calls it's self a Prime driver site), with an important and valid question, and they they thought they were going to get away with turning the question around on me. Further more some of those recruiter type drivers think their gonna come over here and recruit, run their rap, sucking unsuspecting people. And I'm gonna tell the side I have encountered.

Only a fool would believe that a person would have to be truck driver in order to make an evaluation of what's being said.

 

I agree.

 

U2, what do you know about the SLC and Denver terminals? Prime says I could chose between the two. SLC would put me 11 western while Denver would primarily run me west of the Mississippi. If you had to chose what would you chose?
