I worked at Prime for 4 years and I left last April. Prime treated me good but like you said the culture sucks compared when I started in 19. Having a job making Walmart driver pay and home a night during the week and home on the weekends I can't imagine going back to OTR. Good luck to you man.
Yea prime inc not the same but still better then most mega carrier. the goal for me is to get off the road and work Walmart or Costco. Walmart pay very well.
I love watching all your videos I always wanted to become a truck driver and work for prime Inc flatbed when I’m older but I’m in high school I still have to go to college and than after I’m done with college I’ma get my CDL and work for prime Inc
Lmao that’s your fault u decided to go to a terminal to do your reset under a load. You never pull into the terminal under a load Rule #1 That’s the another problem, TH-cam truckers have NO business acumen and they’re giving bad information on trucking from their own poor decisions and blaming it on trucking or the company otself
Past 3 years I’ve take a 34 a lot at the terminal especially at slc. They always get you truck and trailer fixed before your 34 up because the rule a t prime is if your under a load your first in line to get fixed. Like I said Ta down the street could take me right away and done in one hour. I’m blaming prime cause they wanted to save money and make me lose money. If your at prime you would understand things have changed a lot and a lot of good in house people quit or retired which is another sign.
@@tollboothjimmytrucking.nowadays trailer repair is done on based on when the load is due. If your load has time for you to do a 34 then you’re going to the back of the line. They won’t pay you for layover for the downtime because you had all that extra time to begin with.

@tollboothjimmytrucking. ya I agree. Prime treated me well.
That looks like the boat yard in bolivar, MO. I’ve loaded there before hope everything you want in this trucking world works out man
Things have changed here at Prime, it was way better in 19-20 4 years here and there’s been a huge culture shift
Yes. It sad cause it use to be a great company and drivers were proud to work here
Don’t leave 😢. Hopefully you’ll still be trucking if you leave.
I know 😢. Yes going to a new company
Good luck brother hopefully you will have your own truck company soon
Thanks

Thanks.
Prime is on the top ten worst companies to work for to many lawsuits and so on stay far away
No college needed for prime. Trust me you’d be wasting your time and money. Most of us prime drivers are as dumb as rocks.
Go to college get a good degree that pays 6 digits save your money go to prime get’ t 6 months experience and get your own truck and trailer boom
@@TheBandafall2003 no I’m good but thanks for advice
Welcome to trucking shit happens
💯
Goin to orientation soon at prime,a little nervous about lift the tarps.Can you tell how much they weigh and how often do you actually tarp loads
Prime tarp are around 100 pounds. The forklift drivers will lift them up for you. Prime you tarp about two times a week
Time for COTC or Dry Vans
Next video you will know 😊
You are not the first Prime driver, that have complained about this same situation
Great video. Thanks!
So what happened with the boats? Did you get there and get the other load to SLC, then a load home?
Got there Tuesday 1450 No loads to Vegas so I went home. Then picked up that bs load
@@tollboothjimmytrucking. Thank you.
What happened with prime, did foreigner s buy it😂😂😂😂😂?
Not a good place to drive for if you Drivers have dreams they are very crooked do not lease purchase with any trucking company you will never own it
Once paid off it will be your own. company that accept there contract can leave whenever
Was that majestic steel in Ohio at the beginning?
Yes
Cool deal, I actually ran into you picking up there one time. Great videos, keep them coming please.

Why did you leave prime?
It a starter company and was tired of all the Bs.
I don’t understand 34 over the road
34 hour off duty gives your 70 hours back.
@@tollboothjimmytrucking. I know but I think I would just go home

Prime 54 cent a mile and cotc 64 cent.
