    Give it a minute. The worst part if they had just given me back my money I would have been neutral on Prime. But it’s clearly a scam. They squeeze you out with low paying loads and keep your reserves. It’s clearly a major part of their business model. Probably how they are turning a profit. Bottom line as has been said a million times before, get your truck from a reputable dealer, not from the company you’re leased to. They have far too much control over your success. Experiment completed, total failure, moving on.

    Yep Prime has been pulling this scam for years. They could care less what freight pays because they make their money on the lease scam. It's sad they lie to all rookies they hire about the big money you can make at Prime.
