    If you dont go through the scale they cant inspect you. If you go around the scale sometimes they're waiting for you. Sometimes the DOT even tells you how to get around the scale so they can mess with you.

    They cant inspect you if you get a green light and pass the scale.....that could save a lot of money depending on the officer..

    So i'm thinking.... A lot of times i get a green light but the scale is closed, but the prepass equipment is before the sign "CLOSED"... So they charge you for THAT too? Niice.

    And some days i get 3 or 4 or 5 green lights in a day. I very rarely ever go through a scale...

    Uhm, thats not exactly what i meant.....I mean, the coop cant #### with you if you dont go there. That's all.

    Plus theres often a big line in scales...

    I wonder if they accidently pushed the wrong button and meant to give her a red light, haha... Sounds disorganized anyhow.

    I love how people defend prime. It would be one thing if they were just making money off leasing these trucks. Most car and truck dealerships do the same thing. Oh, and they give you your freight too, and keep track of everything, thats cool.

    But why do they have to lie, cheat, steal?

    I don't remember the exact charge, but they charge a lease op for the settlement statement each week. Seems like it was 10-20 bucks for that.:biggrin_2556:

    That giant, 8th-grade edjumcated brain workin' overtime there Jethro?

    :biggrin_2559:

    Since you never worked for Prime, phroziac, I'll take that for what it is. TOTAL BS. Why don't you crawl back over to the Weenie section? Ever get that Weenie-mobile running? Still getting screwed on that Canada run? Oh, that's right. That Blue Weenie Outfit is a REAL stand-up company.

    1. No one has ever "lied" to me in the last three years at Prime. As I recall, that's one of your recent biotches about the Weenie-dom.

    2. I've never been "cheated" by anyone at Prime in the last three years. As I recall, you're pretty much PO'd about the Weenies "cheating" you out of a working machine.

    3. Only place I've been "stolen from" was the little criminal in Philly who nailed a cheap-a%% camera I wasn't watching. Snicker... only paid about $40 bucks for it 2nd hand! He must have really been sweatin' in that heat for that score after he got done runnin' his criminal as## off! That and every east-coast lumper I ever ran across.

    $15.

    Formats the financials so it's eaiser for my CPA to generate a P/L. Nice to know where you stand, before you get on this forum and start whining about "how come I got screwed."

    Doin' ok and making money here.

    I dont have to have worked for him to see the scam. Look at what he charges for that truck compared to what its worth. Simple.

    My company is not stealing from me. Nothing is being deducted from my paycheck that is not expected, no one is lying to me here. Not that im making money or anything.

    Why is it that every time I find a happy prime lease driver, they seem to be complete and total idiots? Funny.
