Please Remember I Mortgaged Everthing says it all. You lease but never own the truck! It's one lease then into another!!!! If you manage to finish a lease & want to buy it, it's a huge balloon payment...RIPOFF!!!!

Driving for PrimeNEW by: Anonymous
I have been an Lease Operator with Prime for 6 weeks now. I never sit and my fleet manager looks at my available hours and gets me loaded and running according to what I have. I am making much more money than i ever did as a company driver with my first trucking company. I see posts from people that are in the hole on their lease. If you are in the red, you aren't telling people about how much time you spent at home sitting on your butt or loads you turned down to sit on your butt. The freight and the money is there if you want to drive.

Info about Prime Inc. by: Jeff
Prime Inc. used to be in a lot of hot water stemming from class action law suites over truth in leasing practices.
These days it would seam that they have got it together and are running an honest company. As with all companies, you have to do your homework. Read the different trade publications.
Go to Google news and type in Prime Inc, and see what, if anything shows up.
