As part of my contract, at times I need to help drivers being a driver myself.

I think I've interacted with every flavor of prime inc truck.

The L/O with custom decals, the L/O with a basic prime decal, 3rd party contractors i.e. trans am, purple priority/power, Wilson, the brokered prime loads, O/O that are leased onto prime, and company drivers.

Ok....cool. I still don't get the assumption. I fail to see how all of those "metrics" equals to such a big accusation on Prime.

Because it’s on Prime to hire qualified drivers, which they aren’t if a translator app is needed for communication. And it’s also on Prime to make sure their contractors hire qualified drivers since they are the carriers charge of safety.

Refuse to load them if they can’t communicate. It’s a simple solution. If enough places start doing it then the problem will eventually take care of itself.

I've actually seen a few drivers turned away from shippers and recievers recently for this exact reason... only like 3, but it's a start.
