Reviews New Prime Inc

NOT ENOUGH MONEY, I HAVE 54 YEARS EXPERIENCE,AND 12000000 MILES NO TICKETS, NO ACCIDENTS, PERFECT HEALTH

I've been with prime for over 7 years and love working for them. They have always treated me very good. This Springfield terminal is amazing.. Everybody has always been nice and very respectful.. They are definitely considered family

At first I thought prime is a good company to work for. Then I realize they don't care about their drivers. For example. I'm a Muslim and If don't want to take pork or alcohol load because it's against my religion. The fleet manager get mad and would not give me a load for the next day or two.

Prime is a fantastic place not only to get your CDL license and start your career, it can be the place to be. But right know things are getting worse but the day in regards to revenue for leasing operators, and the explanation given is that there is scarce of freight. Only because of that I wouldn't recommend trucking to anyone right now, because if one of the heavy weights of the industry is struggling I don't want to even think about the small ones. Probably best thing to do is to wait and see when things would get better.

Prime Inc. Is a great company for new and beginners to start a career

Dispatchers will start reducing your load assignments, and if you refuse, they may send you to the New York area. It’s better to get your own authority and work with load boards from other companies.

Prime is a great place to start when no one else will give you a chance. The first few weeks of training can be tough if you’re not mentally prepared, but once you graduate and get on a truck, it’s exactly what you need. Make sure your co-driver allows you to practice docking at receivers and get comfortable handling everything yourself—that’s key to success. Always ask questions, respect the equipment, and take every opportunity to learn. After a year, you’re free to find other work, but Prime offers steady employment with decent benefits if reliability is your priority. A good co-driver and dispatcher make all the difference in early trucking.

The pay is solid, and dispatchers are very helpful. The schedule runs Monday through Friday with weekends off. Some days are longer than others, but overall, it’s a straightforward job.

A great company to start your trucking career. They have well-maintained terminals in Utah, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. Safety is a priority, and dispatch isn’t forced—dispatchers are generally okay.

Prime Inc. is the best trucking company I’ve worked for. I earned my CDL at their headquarters in Springfield, MO. I highly recommend Prime for both new drivers looking to get their CDL and experienced drivers.

The company is difficult to work with and does very little to teach the business side of trucking. They rush the testing process and quickly put drivers on the road to generate revenue. The turnover rate is extremely high—best to avoid.

You’ll enjoy working here if you stay focused and eager to learn. From the moment you start training until you receive your truck, you’re being evaluated. Maintain a positive attitude, ask questions, and stay engaged—it’s what you make of it.

A solid company overall, but pay fluctuates on the lease side. Home time can be difficult to secure, and the wrong dispatcher can ruin your experience. While lease drivers aren’t forced to take loads, declining one often results in being assigned undesirable routes.

A good work environment and a great company for new drivers to earn their CDL and gain experience. Their training program is strong, and I’d recommend it to anyone starting their trucking career.

Competitive pay and flexibility for lease operators. Earnings can exceed $100K in good years without training, and training pay can double your salary. The biggest downside is being self-employed and managing home time.

A solid starter company. If you’re comfortable earning $50K–$70K, it’s a great fit. They make the entire process easy for new drivers—all you have to do is call.

There’s always something new. The pay is great—I worked in the tanker division, averaging 1,800–2,100 miles per week. Since 98% of the tanker division operates on a lease model, drivers receive 72% of the load revenue, eliminating the need to chase miles.

Lease payments are high, but earnings are still strong. No one interferes unless you’re a company driver, which I wouldn’t recommend. I’ve been here for five years.

A great way to start in trucking. CDL training is free, aside from the one-year commitment. The equipment is good, and I earn solid weekly pay. I’d recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind OTR work.

Overworked and underpaid. You spend four weeks on the road just to get four days off, and even then, you have to fight for it. If you’re okay with sacrificing family time and watching life pass by through a windshield, this job is for you.
