    Hell lets keep it going.
    Ever notice the majority of lease scam companies are also, Zero Experience needed we will train you , companies?

    Hmm.

    Darwinism at its finest. The stupid always get what they deserve and the rest talk till they are blue in the face about it.

    I dont understand why you would lease a truck. Save money being a company driver and buy outright or finance a nice newer truck and go to a true O/O company like LS or Mercer or even run your own authority. You lease guys talk about sittin on your *** going home for 3 days every other week and thats why you cant make money. I'm home every 2 weeks for 3 days and I grossed 70k as a company driver in 2012.....

    Prime's lease is a 'walk away' lease. Can be used by those who are 'on the fence' about whether or not they'd be happier as a L/O or O/O as a way to dip their toes in the water without jumping straight into the deep end.

    yeah its amazing PRIME has keep going this long too. If i have to drive 65 to be a driver i quit. But PRIME i think is brain washing people to drive their trucks i ask a prime driver in texas why he was running 60 in a 75 he says thats all his truck runs and i says why would you drive that slow piece of crap and he says thats the only job he could get. WOW see yea done with this

    They have 'em run that slow so they can save on windshield wash fluid. The bugs just up 'n fly away when they stop!

    I've looked at several,Sammons , seems to be about the best company, if you want to be an owner/operator.

    I haven't looked at their L/O program, but I do seem to see more Sammons trucks sitting still than moving. That may not be a bad thing either.

    You don't see me going home that often. Yes often people do that and often they fail. I did make a bit more than you did in 2012 plus I am halfway through having a paid off truck.
