I never ran 6 months straight. It's ok, we get it, you don't like prime for some reason.

I guess just because one person shows success, shows a plan, executes that plan, it means they were lucky and prime let them win.

same goes for Schneider.....maybe I'm just too stupid to understand that I owned a truck outright after 2 years. But I have the title and I don't make payments, soooooooo

Preach! It seems most are speaking from outside and do not have first hand experience with Prime's Leasing.

Have you leased with Prime?
Click to expand...

Yes.

Twice.

I stopped for all the negative reasons people cite.

Time and experience with other companies opened my eyes to the realities of the game.

I now have the attitude of which I spoke:

How Prime makes its money is none of my business.

Does it work for me?

And so you make up this wonderful story about prime's lease program because you're bored?

You don't have to train to make money as a lease operator, you don't have to team either. The lease agreement and the messages from success leasing before the end of lease both tell you you can buy the truck you've been leasing at the end of the lease or anytime after the 24 month mark on that truck.

It amazes me how people make up a story about a program they knew nothing about because they hate prime.

So here's the deal...

Perhaps you and I were there at different times.

Ever consider that?

I guarantee you were there after me.

How about that!?!

Prime is a school, company that makes huge money on silly truck driver students, they make money, pure business. They dont care about drivers, you are a number at prime. All those parties, meetings, barbeque is for office guys not for drivers, you as a driver live in your truck.My buddy in NYC making 1500 per week delivering bread night time, home everyday. You on the road like a dog, dont see family or friends become lone wolf and making 1300-1700?? Is it a good pay? No it is not and the reason is because at prime you are getting ripped off big time. I am not saying Prime bad company, NO, Prime is a decent company, well organized but you are just a number at prime, a dunkey pulling fright for Prime to make money on you.Sales at prime rule the world, dispatchers are nobody, dont like one fhim, get another one - but it wont help you, cause sales rule.So they make money for themselves and you as a driver at prime on the bottom of food chain, things rolling from driver up, and they manipulate it.
Overall working for Prime is waste of time, low pay, huge rip off, slavery.
I averaged after one year with prime 1.49 dollars per mile doing lease - it is very low. And that is where they make money, students run cheap paying freight and sales getting all the money in their pocket. I was living in the truck.Did one year and quit next day as soon as one year passed. Prime is a student company, you can not jump over your head at Prime, they owe every single student big time for getting big bucks and you getting none for putting to much of an effort.Not worth it.

For some Prime is a starter company, but you have to remember everybody's "good money" is not the same.

We should not knock drivers for what works for them.

As for the parties...

That's BS!

Everybody partakes without repercussion and have the best time ever!

That main terminal in Springfield is... hypnotic!

Don't go there for repairs!

You'll leave out in the hole before you realize it!

#GOODTIMES!

LOL!

You assumed ALL the risk, grossed 0.49 per mile as a sub-contractor with no benefits, paying your own SE taxes, etc, were a slave to the truck in hopes of what in the end?

What are these recruiters putting in the food at orientation that would convince a guy to sign up for something like that?

The opportunity to go home when you want for as long as you want and most people don't think about paying quarterly taxes soooo...

Those $3k - 4k per week checks are LOVELY!
