Where do I start, I started training at prime back in September I had got over 60000 miles with them in tnt, first tnt is literally slavery, I'm not joking you will not get sleep, you will work like a slave probably the night shift your trainer does not care about or your dispatchers, you will not make big money at all, lease or company it's set up so prime can take advantage of the driver, I have seen plenty of prime lease operators sitting at truck stops who cant even buy food because prime took their entire check for their payments, dispatchers basically starved them and not gave them miles, tnt trainers will do illegal things and you get blamed for them, when it was time for me to upgrade I got let go because my trainer drove on my legs and got critical events, safety said I had to do another 20000 and I said no way and showed them video of my trainer getting 2 of the 4 he got me, safety said I still had to do 20000 more I refused and was fired, I'm not going off on ppl time inc for firing me, I want others who are considering prime to rethink their decision and just dont, I wasted 7 mouths of my life with them, and was treated like a slave, and to add to the sting they take your last paycheck weather you were fired or you quit, I have learned alot about scum bags.

I see this as a failure of standing up to protect yourself.
Lets say I am trainee. Trainer says drive. I put in 11 hours or whatever while he sleeps. No problem.
Now it's his turn to drive.
IF I find that he changed or used my logs to drive or company sign in etc OR refuses to drive on his turn, that will be the first and absolutely last day I am with that trainer pending company heads up.
I have no problem moving on to somewhere else. If I have such a bad trainer. HOWEVER.
It seems there is a pattern of trainee abuse. And I say enough is quite enough. Then again it appears trainee does not have (Not necessarily the OP, speaking in general) a spine to stand up and protect his or her CDL> Come on now.
As far as scraping a pole? Tsk. No wonder the company let you go. Employment is at will. Drivers are disposable. And this will continue.GoldenLad, LAtrucker2390, hammer830 and 4 others Thank this. -
