    After 4 years putting team miles on a probably already used truck seems like there wouldn't be much left of it. Even the places that "sell" you a truck instead of "lease" you on are on the same basic playbook. Even the successful guys are making payments most of the time. I remember a few years back Schneider was offering 3 year old company trucks on 4 year leases. You could buy the truck at the end of the lease for $1! Such a deal!

    Owner is cory johnson. Super nice guy. Fair but firm. He has take. Primes opportunity and passed it on to others. I will own my truck in about two years. He is giving title to his first driver In august2014. Not a scam at all. Lots of hometime and prime wouldnt let him scam someone. Not that he would. Always been fair and honest with me. He will tell you right up front that prime has great opportunity and in many cases might be better than what he has to offer. For those who don't want the headaches of fixed costs and responsibilities then drivethistruck is a great job and can be a stepping stone of a promising career.
