I was excepted for school from 3 companies Prime, usa truck and lisa motor lines. I am not that experienced in trucking so I dont know what company to choose. Will someone help me make a decisionn?

 

If I were you I would keep looking. There has to be more companies than that who would accept you for school. What part of the country are you in?

 

Between the 3 I would say Prime would be the best only because I don't know much about USA truck or Lisa. If you do go with Prime DO NOT DO THE LEASE!!!!!!!!!! The have been plenty of horror stories about Prime's lease. Where do you live?? We could recommend more companies if we knew your location..

 

Prime and USA Truck are bottom feeders. Dont know much about Lisa. OOIDA has gone after Prime in court several times. I stopped at their yard years ago just to check out their program. Spent 6 hours checking out their lease and making calls to professional people. The whole lease is so heavily weighted in their favor its ridiculous. They count on people who arent bright enough to sort through it. Apparently they find them. Why did Prime start taking on company drivers ?

 

Prime started taking on company drivers because they bought another company out that was company drivers.

 

I think the real reason is they couldnt get enough people to take that risky lease deal, so they chose to buy another company. Scratch below the surface. Think about it.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Lisa Motor Lines is part of FFE

 

Well stop by their orientation and find out.......that way you dont have to wonder or try to guess. While your there for a visit ask someone there to see their numbers.....they will gladly show you their equipment both lease and company for the equipment and the drivers in each division.

 

Turn 'em all down. Get a night job, a job delivering pizzas, sell Tupperware....do anything, but you will want to own your CDL. They are counting on you being a little lazy and not wanting to pay your own way....and they're going to make money off it when you go for it.

 

You might want to look into maverick or tmc. I have heard nothing but positive about them and they both offer training or at least they did the last time I checked.
