    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.

    Things have changed here at Prime, it was way better in 19-20 4 years here and there’s been a huge culture shift

    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, UA-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

    • @tollboothjimmytrucking.
      @tollboothjimmytrucking.  Рік тому +2

      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.
