Prime Review by Anonymous, January 16, 2009
Here is my experience with Prime. Recruited by a driver after posting on a site similar to this. Went to orientation Dec 21st thru the 23rd, picked out my lease truck (with 389K on it) got my first load Dec 24th, swung by the house for Christmas and was then out on the road for 5 1/2 weeks before I got back home, after several requests mind you. I am divorced and get my sons every other weekend, after seeing their faces after that 5 1/2 week stint I demanded a load back to Springfield to turn in the truck. Get this, they asked if I’d stay out another week, HA! On the lease, I had to pay around $825.00 a week for the note and insurance, yes, a week. I had 2 weeks in a row of negative settlements and when I left they said I owed them $198.00. When you pick out your truck you are given a piece of paper and pointed towards the available truck, you and you alone are required to find anything wrong with the truck and note it on the piece of paper. When you turn the truck in, they go over it with a fine tooth comb with a certified mechanic for about 3 hours. In other words, you’re screwed. Best advice I got was to save up, buy my own truck if thats what I wanted to do, and lease it on with a company. Just my opinion, but I’d steer clear of Prime.
