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
the dispatchers are gonna start giving you less loads and if you refuse they are gonna sent you in new york area.you should get your own authority and work with the load board from other companies.
Prime will get you your start when no one else will. Your first weeks in training will be rough if you are not prepared mentally but once you are on a truck graduated it will be exactly what you need. Just be sure your co driver LETS YOU learn how to dock at receivers, get comfortable doing everything yourself that’s how you will succeed. If you don’t know, ask, Respect their equipment but always ask to learn. You are free to find work elsewhere after your year expires but prime is good and steady with decent benefits if all you want reliability. A good codriver and good dispatcher are everything in early trucking.
Pay is good and the dispatchers are very helpful. It's Monday thru Friday and weekends off. Some days are longer than others but for the most part it's a simple job.
Great starter company to get your career going in trucking. Very nice terminals in UT MO and PA. Safety first no forced dispatch ... dispatchers are ok
Prime Inc. by far the best trucking company I've worked for. I obtained my cdl in Springfield, MO at the company's headquarters. I would recommend Prime to those seeking to obtain their cdl, as well as seasoned drivers.
Difficult to work with do very minimal to teach business. They rush your testing then throw you on the road to make them money. Huge turnover rate stay away
You will enjoy working here if you are focused and willing to learn. You are being interviewed from the moment you walk into the door for your training until you get your truck. Have the right attitude, stay focused, and ask questions. It is what you make it.
Good company, pay is up and down on lease side. Had a hard time getting home. The wrong dispatch will mess up your whole experience. No force dispatch on lease side, they just give you bad loads once you deny a load. But as whole solid!.
Good work environment and good starter company to get cdl and experience good training program they have here would recommend to anyone looking to start there career
Competitive pay and flexibility for lease ops. 100K + possible as a lease op during good years without training. Training pay could double salary. Only drawback was being self employed and home time.
Good starter company. Great company if you’re satisfied with 50-70k. They make the entire process easy if you’re new to trucking. All you have to do is call
Always something new . Great pay . I was in the tanker division. Average anywhere from 1800-2100 miles a week . 98% of the tanker division is lease so we got 72% of the load . So no need to chase miles
Lease payments are high but you still make good money and no one bothers you unless you’re a company driver which is not recommended. Been here 5 years
Great way to start in trucking. CDL training was free, besides the 1 year commitment. Good equipment and I make good pay weekly. Would recommend for anyone who doesn't mind OTR.
Over worked underpaid. 4 weeks out to get 4 days that you have to fight tooth and nail to get If you want to not spend tike with family and watch your life go by on a phone and through a window this is the job for you
I enjoyed my year here. Didn't stay only bc I knew there were better opportunities for me elsewhere pay and time-wise. But instructors were pretty great/thorough. OTR training was decent as in you will definitely be ready by the time it's time to get out on your own. You'll have to do 50k miles if you're new to this with training pay being $900 a wk. In my solo career I only have one complaint: Communication with dispatch can be slow at times regarding loads. Other than that FM's were on point with home time, and any issues regarding safety.
Just as any other company, pick loads and drop them, but here it’s constantly and very well organized . I invite everyone to come and join us. Good equipment to work with, good management and good communication with us. The more miles driven the more money you can make
A pretty good place to get your CDL and start your career all things considered, but they will take advantage of you at every twist and turn no matter if you're a company driver, lease operator or owner operator.
Slowest trucks on the road. Bumper radar and sensors monitoring driver constantly. No detention pay. They don't start looking for a new load till you're unloaded and ready to leave. Usually have to wait 3 hours while e- log ticking away. Lose drive time. They have a terrible safety record because they hire so many inexperienced drivers. That means many random dot inspections.
It’s okay not the best but good for starters company. If you don’t want to pay for you cdl a then do this. Only downside is that you’ll have to work for them for at least a a year
