I am only aware of our Terminal in Oxnard and a drop yard down in Ontario.
Thats not to say we dont have customers or agreements with other carriers that we can drop trailers at in your area.
When I go home to VA I drop my trailer at Budwieser, thats an example of a customer storage. If its home to WA state I drop it at Oak Harbour Freight. Seeing as Oak Harbour has terminals in Stockton, Sacramento, and Fresno... its within reason that arrangements can be made to drop your trailer there.
Although, one time, I got turned away from Oak Harbour because they're 53 foot trailer section had only 2 spaces left, 9 other empty Prime trailers, and the yard manager, who was very nice to me, didnt want my trailer storage to keep them from conducting their business.
As to hiring, the word is that they are being more selective, and I have heard of people being turned away becuase of where they live. Your chances are better living in Sacramento as its on I80 close to I5 and Hwy99.
If you were running team, you could be passing through almost every other week... When I was training as a team we were in and out of CA a couple times a month. -
What you said about the drop yards is exactly what I was thinking and I hope this will work for me. My biggest fear is that they only hire out of Southern Cal. as many companies do. Since the termials are down south, that just might be the case. It would be nice to hear from any orther Prime drivers if they have info on this matter. -
