    U2Exit it's obvious that you and Ironypony must do a good amount of sitting at Prime because your on this and other message boards on many threads posting every hour on the hour, or are you in house employees sitting at a desk promoting Prime? Just the way it looks.

    Why do you even care? You are just a troll trying to stir up trouble. What have I done to you? Has anything I posted here been a lie or a distortion of the truth?

    Am I such a bad person to take time and answer questions?.. I seem to remember a few people around here that have answered my questions when I was starting out.

    Tell me where, recently, that I have stated that I get sooo many miles, and am sooo busy... I do sit, more than I care for... I posted my miles, Ive openly stated what I am averaging per week.... The numbers speak for themselves, I do have time to sit around and answer questions. there is no hidden agenda...

    Im sorry you couldnt cut it, whether it was your fault or Prime's. Stop being a bitter pill and do something productive... You are entitled to your opinions of Prime just as much as I am to mine. But you dont see me trolling your threads and nit picking what you say... Ive got a lot of time but not enough to be that petty.

    You can choose to believe I am a driver or not. Ive met Ironpony on the road... I know he's a driver, he knows the same about me. The only thing I know for sure about you is you are a message board troll.

    BTW... 99.9 percent of the people here will tell you that you are not the ""World's #1 Grandpa"... So already you have a history of exaggerating... (lie is such a harsh word)

    my husband has working for prime as a lease op. and you talk about how great prime is, but we haven't seen a paycheck in 2 weeks. but be sure they are getting their money. The fleet managers are giving the good loads to the company drivers instead of lease ops and owner operators. They say they are a great company helping their drivers and families. but I don't see it. I haven't seen my husband in 4 months, because he can't afford to come home.:biggrin_2553:

    my hubby is a lease op, and while things are slow out there money is stil being made here. I have a good relationship with his FM, hell he has put me up at the campus inn and gave me meal cards when hubby was testing out a student. prime so far has been good to us and hopefully if and when freight really picks up it will be even better.

    I thought it was the other way around and they gave the good runs to the lease ops and the company drivers were starving? :biggrin_25521:

    After 17 weeks I am averaging 1932 miles/week overall...

    Here are my last 5 week totals and that will tell you the my recent trend vs my overall avg.

    There is a very distinct diffrence between a Company Driver and Lease Operator. One is a job, the other has the added responsibility of running a business.

    Yeah, we are getting all the good loads (sarcasm). Company Driver is the only one making a Paycheck. Lease Drivers get a Revenue Settlement.

    Do the math... A Company driver is extremely happy with 3k MILES at .35/mile... while I saw my trainer(lease/op) have a $3k revenue check... for the same amount of miles.

    I feel for your husbands. Im doing a job, they are running a business.

    "VULCAN1999 you can access the INTERNET from just about anywhere on the PLANET not just from behind a DESK at PRIME." FLATBED.

    I, for one, appreciate something resembling facts like U2 and others are generous enough to provide here. When the time comes I will find things out for myself. I will definitely not hold my breath waiting for a job offer from the naysayers.

    Live Long And Prosper.
