    No caffeine...I will go into withdraws if I do not have it first thing in the morning...

    I will be there January 4th for orientation. The bus ride starts on the 1st at 3:00p.m, I will arrive around 6:00p.m on the 3rd then to call the prime security for a ride. They bring me to the hotel where I bunk with another prime recruit. We eat dinner comped from Prime, go to sleep wake up and start my day.

    You get 1 day off for every 7 days out, max of 4 days off in a row. Home time is pent at home.

    Your not even in school yet. I would like you to think twice before offering advice other than the application process.

    You've thrown out a couple of statements that are either flat wrong or highly debatable about Prime.

    There are plenty of people around here with opinions, facts, and far more experiance to take questions about Prime. Conversely, there are enough people around here to scare someone into thinking twice about leasing the truck.

    Im not sure where you researched your info, but take that lease payment and add a couple more thousand dollars per month and then you would be closer to the truth... your stated amount might acutally make it attractive to someone.

    okay, go ahead and listen to u2 everyone. Go ahead and lease operate without proper experience. See how it goes then get back to her. She is 100% confident that you will succeed. Does this sound better?

    p.s. she is a company driver and not a lease operator....wonder why.:biggrin_255:

    $711 to $883 so if your paying 711 dollars and there are 4 weeks in a month it will be 2844 dollars a month... wow that looks pretty darn close to what someone I know was saying earlier on... Sorry I cannot give an estimate for everyone situation, because some may not have any down so will pay 883 which yes... is more. but not in all cases

    Ive got nearly 3 years experiance here at Prime... you havent even got on the bus.

    Keeping making usumptions and more often than not you are going to be disapointed.

    You will not find one statement from me where I have reccomended anyone should lease a truck. Stick to facts and stop commenting with such authority on things you really know nothing about.
