With every company, they have their ups and downs. Regarding Prime, once things go south, it happens very fast and you quickly become the outcast and a "Safety Risk"! First off, Prime requires all trucks to be tuned back 33% on horsepower and torque and requires a governed speed of 58 mph. Next, Prime installs an array of high tech equipment in these trucks from cameras, sensors, to sonar, and GPS. In other words, you cannot fart without SOMEONE knowing. The high tech equipment wouldn't be so bad except they will ALWAYS take the side of the computer readings over the drivers. The cameras they install (Company Drivers) allow them to monitor EVERYTHING (360) views of the truck and trailer. Meaning, in addition to inside the cab or everything in front of the driver and passenger seat because that is deemed "THE OFFICE." If you use black out curtains around the windows for more cab space, they can, they have, and they will monitor you getting undressed and record it. Lastly because I could go on awhile, they every possible service available to meet truckers needs. However, weather you are a company or lease driver, you are required to go to "THEIR" doctors at all times for any medical treatments, especially medical cards. Prime terminated my Lease agreement because I would not go to "THEIR" doctors and it was not in my contract. They were on an 85-90% diagnosis rate, diagnosing everyone whom went to Prime's doctors with Sleep Apnea. Most insurances will not cover the costs and it is a $10k per head cost for the drivers. BTW- EVERYTHING I HAVE MENTIONED HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN WRITING!! Read Less
