    You guys absolutely sure they're still handing out the same lease as you got?

    just like our lease trucks as a few have already stated go 70 mph, not! try 61.2 on foot and 64.6 on cruise. was even told take ace II they turn your truck up, not! it amazes me, all the drivers that have had issues and even sued these guys and won, yet were all wrong and lieing.

    You have to have at least 2 load locks, a large padlock for the trailer doors, a small padlock for the inspection door, and an air cuff lock. You are not required to get these from Prime, but if you do get them from elsewhere, they must be up to Primes standards (ie. that cheap wal mart brand padlock that will break if you look at it funny ain't gonna cut it).

    It's been said time and time again that due to the new laws regarding speed limiters in Ontario and Quebec, that lease trucks are going out at 65. My truck does do 70, but it's one of the last in the fleet, and I'm more than likely going to have them turn it down to 65 so I can go into ON and PQ.

    ya, they said if your grandfathered in, meaning been there for years, or got your trk after jan 1, 2009 your speed is what I posted. yet I cant tell ya how many lease trks past me while I was doing so called 65. The one thing that really bugged me the most, was the constant taking in circles. they say one thing, ok, then when you call them out on it, suddenly its a change of words to cover themselves, so you say ok, then when its still not what tey said, they change words again. they are just never up fron and honest about anything all. Just all around, never had such bad experiance working for any company in any industry or the military like i did there. Im just chalking it up as a life lesson learned. And im chooseing to leave it at that. I have a new job now so I will get back on my feet and I will prevail.

    They will be in violation of Ontario law. And I can tell you from one of our trucks that got popped doing 70 up there, it isn't cheap. You'd be making new guy friends for sandwich money after that one.
