You did a good job breaking it down so that everyone can understand. To each is their own. If you're happy and it makes sense with you and your family then that's all that matters brother. I just found your channel and subscribed. Stay safe driver 🙏🏻
Thank you CJ for your time and interest in the Channel! I appreciate it more than you know! Comments like yours keep the flame alive for me! God Bless!💪👊
I own a truck stop in Florida and I can tell you that Prime drivers are the most professional drivers on the road. I’ve been in the truck stop business for 30 years and every time I see a Prime truck I know the driver is a Pro. Thanks for your business Prime!!!
I did the lease purchase thing. Saved enough to pay cash for my own truck. Now I’m a owner operator and it makes me happy. If prime is making you happy then your winning and it really doesn’t matter what other people think. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the input. I'm getting ready to go to orientation and I'm not sure if I want to be a owner operator or a company operator. I'm leaning towards ownership. And your video helps
Hey man, just got out of training and been solo 3 weeks. Im a flatbed and struggled to see any money hit my bank just going to the truck. Any advice like a schedule or how much time to certain parts like securement/ miles driving/ loads per week. Want to turn this around !
I'm happy with Prime Inc. I'm retired Navy, I came to Prime not knowing a thing about trucking. I originally came to Prime wanting to be a company driver. Just send me here, there, wherever... But after talking to a couple of Mentors, I found out that there are things I didn't like about going Co. so I went Lease. So glad i did. Prime takes care of everything except the actual driving part. in return they get 28% of the revenue. Now I'm coming up on my lease completion and I'm considering Lease Purchase. Huge step in just 3 years. I'm happy with Prime and Thank you Rob Low.
Im coming in brand new to trucking. Im considering starting company to get the feel of the industry and experience and then see about going lease. Some videos claim that company makes more on the back end and lease is more on the front end in regard to taxes. But idk
@@nobull4414 I can go off of what I heard by other drivers. Company drivers are required to go a certain route, governed to 62 (or 58) mph. Have to drive a certain hours a day. More restrictions than lease drivers.
@@tahntalus all lease operators have a walk away lease. With that said, there is a lease completion incentive which could mean 10’s of thousands. Mine is a 3 year lease. I think you could get a 4 year lease.
Think about this , local driver works 2080 hours per year for 70 k otr driver works 3640 hours thats 1560 more hours than the local driver 39 weeks for 90 k ? Where's the money?
I'm finishing up TNT right now. What is the bottom line difference in income between company and lease? I'm asking for real numbers, not "it varies". Best answer I've received so far is lease is 100% more risk for 20% more pay. What do you think?
I just joined from DART. Completed a lease there but needed an upgrade on my 2017 t680. DART was really going down in the dumps with a lot of stuff too...brokering cheap freight..well i cant run off of $1 loads. I opted for an 8 month lease on a 21 freightliner. Its mt second week and tomorrow will be my first check on revenue. Orientation was great and their mainteance service was outstanding. I found a few issues wirh the lease truck and pulled it into the bay also to pick up some supplies and i was in and out in an hour including two new drives replaced and rotated. Dart would have taken like 3 days to even approve anything etc. Downtime is a killer for a lease op so the way this was handled was impressive to me. Great communication with my driver manager. Lets see how much comes out the bottom end on this first settlement ❤...but im sold regardless on it. I put all my stuff in storage so i really have no bills. Plan on living in the truck for now 😊.
Well said 💯. As someone who has been a company driver, lease operator, owner op and back to company over a 32 year span since 1991, what it all comes down to basically is "PROFESSIONALISM". That is what give and take is.
I've been here 13 years at Prime. I feel like with the economy shippers are looking for cheaper carriers and hope they don't get hurt with service and claims.
Not having to search for loads then having one cancel as you check in with the shipper because the broker found a driver that would run it cheap than you
Hey bro I've been avoiding trying to get on at prime. I actually talked to an O/O and hearing seeing your video really put things in perspective for me I have an app in now and i hope to GOD they call me on Monday cause I will be on the first smoking to their orientation. Thanks for the info bro. Thanks for that real spill man. Keep truckin be safe hope to see you out there SOON
I have made a few requests to get to a certain area to grab a certain load (on flatbed. JLG in Mcconnelsburg PA) had no idea what it paid. I just wanted to haul equipment. Unfortunately they couldn’t get me out there
@@ChrisL-oz4lp I trusted Primes algorithm of last I was sent. And it’s gotten me to where I am today. Yeah I denied lists before but I have heard those equipment loads pay decent but I didn’t know exactly what they paid
When you're an O/O: your Auth, your MC, your ins, isn't all its cracked up to be. You deal with sorry ass brokers, fuked up shippers, fuked up receivers, you have 1 trailer...maybe, if you're broke and can't keep yourself moving then you factor...sell your billables. A lot of these so called O/O aren't doing well. Driving an old ass truck that gets 5mpg...talking about "I'm a business man" 😂😂😂
Very well put together bro. Appreciate you being open to questions as well. Since you have your own EIN number , do you or can you own or lease multiple trucks from prime and have your own drivers ? Also are you using your own MC/DOT # or primes ?
There’s word going around on social media that a fellow prime inc trucker who has a YT channel EKM Transport crashed his truck and unfortunately passed. I don’t know if it is true or not but condolences to the family if it is. I’ve been following his journey that’s just tragic.
It is very sad. Here’s the link for the first post I saw on it. I’m not familiar with the TH-camr you’re referring to, but regardless it’s definitely tragic 🙏 www.ksla.com/2023/09/28/18-wheeler-carrying-frozen-chicken-catches-fire-driver-dead/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ&fbclid=IwAR1WtIm4coBH_GM06RgeUA2M213YIQztNGnbUoOu_NJhy6BhlR-shLkvgms_aem_AbiSOKHydkUUq9udI-72H39Ltgut09slpRBHp3VrGE_B_-YjdBBgr4iw4gFGNRDVdRQ
Can you make a video on how you run as a solo driver how many hrs you run in a day and how you do things. I’m loving your content and see how you run as a team with the 8 to 8.5hrs a day each thanks for you teaching all of us keep it up God bless
You do a 3 year lease at the end you pay $100 for the title the tractor is yours. Pay around $1000 a week for the tractor payment ($156,000). Question is if you finish your lease you get $30,000? Is that to give them the tractor back?
Always enjoy your videos. Appreciate your honesty and view point. I have a question about the lease purchase. Prime says that after you pay off the truck, your profit will jump because you don't have a weekly truck payment anymore and you are now a truck owner. However, as I understand it, Prime is limiting the truck age to 5 years, thus forcing you to either lease another truck, or leaving them and taking your truck elsewhere. Maybe you can do a video about that and your feelings about that policy. Thanks again for your content and honesty. Be safe out there diver.
Thanks for doing that video breaking it all down. I agree with your assessment for thr LP. If you keep up on maintenance and can get 1 million miles out of the truck, and the truck is still looking good, you should be able to run it. When you own it you can take a little more home time and not stress about a payment for the time home. However, without a truck payment, prime isn't making additional money anymore, and you are not running as hard as you would if you have a payment so they're loosing their 28% that they are used to getting when you are always out. All in all, I think that prime offers the best lease with the best chance of completing a lease. Thanks again for your view point and time you took to make the video. You guys be safe out there.
Great informative video. I know this video is a couple of months old but it just came across my page this morning. Last year I leased a truck with primes ugly little sister Wilson they do the same thing with students that Prime does and I do not understand it. That student is primes employee not mine. That is why I absolutely refused to train when I was with Wilson. That being said there’s a lot of things that I didn’t like. The amount of deadhead was ridiculous. Last April I was sitting on Prime‘s yard in Salt Lake City, and I had to deadhead to Greeley Colorado to pick up a load because there was “freight in Salt Lake City“ I was in Alabama once after making a delivery they wanted me to deadhead to Kansas City. My reply was if you think I’m deadheading 800 miles you need a random. Not being able to take the empty trailer home on my home time Was a pain in the ass every time I went home I had to drive two hours past my house to drop the empty and then go home and then go back to hours to pick up the empty. All that being said I had more negative pay periods than I had positive, and after about eight months, I finally said enough is enough and moved on.. Where am I at now I have never been more successful as a lease and I’ve been doing this since 2016 with my LLC. My fix cost are roughly the same $301 a week not counting my truck payment which is 1086. I wish you nothing but success in the future, and I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your content. God bless and be safe Lord knows nobody else is lol
@@lela200675Baylor and I’m on my 2nd truck with these people. My 1st truck they purchased back from me and I left in 2022. After deducting the balance on my loan I put $44k in my pocket. Yes I said loan because that’s what this program here is. I had a $100k loan for 3 years and 9.5%. This is not a walk away lease like the rest.

hey fr8sk! I'm seriously considering going to prime after i get my cdl on December 27. i'm hearing mix bags bout how the freight is and the future of it going forward i want to do the lease where there is no credit check. I live in Houston, Tx basically im asking is it worth it right now to try it ??
I'm thinking about coming over to Prime as a lease OP. I can't find any information about health insurance. I'm assuming Prime doesn't offer health insurance for lease ops people. Do they point you to another market? How does a lease OP driver get health insurance?
For lease purchase, you left out the 14k downpayment if you haven't leased with Prime yet. Of you decide to buy the truck at the end of a regular lease its another 2 years before you pay it off. You aint claiming any food or per diem?
Prime is a different beast all together. So much so that they can get FSC but also get fuel contract with all kinds of fuel places because Prime is so huge. 7000 power units, 14000 trailers, that will get you fuel discounts all over the country. On top of not paying pump price, you get FSC. Prime tries to maintain about $5k/wk avg gross for their lease/lease ops. Spot market offering $1.20/mi....ain't no fuken way you're hitting $5k/wk gross.
I’ve hit 5 k this week but it’s not every week solo after running the numbers for average from January till now I’ve averaged $1880….$1500 a week AFTER TAXES ….plus I trained 3 months out the yr. It’s company pay 💰 I’m out ✌️ to much stress and liability for company pay funny thing is I’ve always made $2-3k with prime been with them for 1yr and 4 months always been taken care of but when I run the numbers of this yr wtf is this 😔
@chrisboling90 damn, so sorry to hear that! I know Prime is a damn good place but keep this in mind if that is happening with freight w/ contract protected rates imagine whats happening on the Spot market with corrupt, crooked ass, brokers trying to take it all? Might as well go company and stay away from all the O/O shit. Good luck!!
I think the real problem with people and leasing is when they cant get there way and they want to leave they cant take the truck. Which means they have to start over. I could be wrong idk
"There's not a company that gets that big without doing something right" yea brother exploiting their labor that's how they got so big paying 44 cpm to their drivers when rates were 3 to 4 a mile 💀
If the freight is good then it makes sense on a percentage pay basis. Lease op is isnt truly a lease op 1099 situation. Ur basically still an w2 employee lol. The whole “own your own company “ is bs
Most transparent man ever... Speaks the facts. Good and bad. Lots of respect brother!

As a lease operator for specialized transportation, brother I agree with your video I like it
I left prime and got my authority one year later I revoked my mc and came back to prime 🤷♂️

At orientation for lease op, do they make you take another physical if you already have a dot card.

Prime, put your money towards drivers. Pay then more.

If you have 3 yrs experience driving do you still have to be with a trainer?
