    Prime likes to keep their trucks in good shape. If you find something wrong, you tell your road assist adviser and it gets fixed. If you do get a violation on a roadside inspection, it would be more than likely due to you missing something on a pre-trip than Prime not fixing it.

    While I was with Prime, if I had an issue that needed attention, it was taken care of ASAP. If nothing else, Prime is particular about equipment upkeep and repair. I'm trying to think of something that could be Prime's fault if a ticket was issued at a roadside. Would you care to share any details? (You don't have to if you don't want to.)

    i can't think of anything they seem to keep there trucks up to date and in good shape being a newbie i cant afford violations but thats on me i just have to learn what companies to stay away from i want a company if something goes wrong it gets fixed i hear of some drivers risking there saftey as well as others with some of thses companies just so the owner can save a buck id'e quit. bet they get closed down once csa 2010 comes out. being a newbie prime seems like the best choice out of the three starter co's yea i'm gonna get shafted and my first year will be hell. and when i read werner was charging there drivers for the DEF fulid thats bs i can see if there L/O if i'm a c/o than it should be the companies prob not mine unless im a L/O
