    Wind isnt anything to play with. A lot of drivers have gotten hurt/killed due to wind.

    Its weird how heavy trucks are and they still are able to be flipped by wind. Maybe its due to the high center of gravity.

    Also due to the huge target they present. Especially a box. Even with my skateboard I get moved around.

    Well. Things have a way of coming to an end. As of the 23rd, I officially quit Prime and returned home to Ohio.

    A lot of things came into this decision for me. But the main thing was money. After a few months otr solo, I averaged $334 a paycheck, with barely breaking 1000 miles/week.In a nut shell, I am a very cautious driver and refused to run in situations where I did not feel comfortable. With this, I had to be repowered on a few occasions which upset my FM. He in turn decided to basically drown me out of the company.

    I will say, the right FM can make or break you.

    Add this with how uncomfortable I felt in bad weather situations and my strong dislike for the lightweight truck, I decided this is the best situation for me as of now.

    I will continue to post on here when I can and still have no problems answering questions. I'm not sure where the future is for me right now, I got a lot of soul searching to do and things to figure out. You guys have all been great and I'm very glad to made the friends I did.

    Stay safe everyone.
