<p>[QUOTE="OneCosmicGuy, post: 4546422, member: 68952"]If you need to get some experience in, Prime is a good place to do that. I started with them but in Flatbed but assuming all their divisions run about the same. I can make more money by working for other outfits so I wouldn't make a career out of them, but if you need some experience to get you into a different outfit, I'd say go to Prime vs some of the other big starter companies. If I was in a pinch, I'd go back to them in a heartbeat. With us, they always gave us enough time to get there but not enough time to screw around - which is understandable. They want you rolling and some (most?) people aren't very self motivated - especially if new, so they screw around too much and then blame the company when they "can't make no money". They have their happy career drivers but for me, I can do better financially and freedom wise owning my truck and driving for other outfits like Landstar or CRST but as a place to start and get some experience, Prime is a great place to do that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
