    Has anyone been curious which has a better completion/success rate?

    Do they pay similar?

    Does anyone know how Prime drivers dispatch? Does Prime do the dispatching for do they have a load board similar to Schneiders?

    Only Schneider are you getting point and click loads off a load board.
    Prime for example your livelihood depends on a dispatcher and there's no telling if they will give you good loads or not.

    Thanks! I didn't know whether they had a load board or not at Prime. Definitely a huge negative for them and a no go simply because like you said you don't know if you're getting good loads or not. I'm sure the dispatchers have favorites.

    If I'm not mistaken SFI and Success (Prime) will both allow to take the truck elsewhere if you're not happy.
    Some hoops to jump through but it can be done.

    Quality Companies partner with Carriers with high turnover because of this The Truck becomes a "retention tool" Why do think almost all companies now offer Lease Purchase? And most pay just enough to make company driver wages. If the unit breakdown you borrow money you go in the "hole". No pay check in some cases for week(s) on end. I think we as drivers put our health(long term) and finances(earn more money) in consideration because truckers lifestyle is very hard on you like an athlete you have a limited time before something my take you out of the Game...10/4

    Just go play with someone else's toys. You can't just jump in the SNI IC program. Check into Interstate.

    The only lease purchase that i could recommend is lone mountain. They don't care where you or the truck on at as long as you make your monthly payment. But its not a zero down no credit check deal.
