Prime and Mexican truckdrivers
-
Everyone is driving slower these days. I read your other post Big Tex. Considering a company job that pays 2200 for 2 weeks is OK, but that certainly doesn't put you in a position to laugh at other truck companies. Everybody in this industry is suffering or will be in short order.

Everybody is not suffering. We are still hauling $3.50 a mile freight and can't keep up to the demand and are having to turn business away.

Wow , I must now say Prime has taken the top spot from England as the worst large carrier . 58 mph is unsafe , there will be many more accidents caused by these "rolling roadblocks" then there would be if they just went 63 to 70 like everyone else .
As far as the Mexican drivers , I hope it's untrue . The lack of courtesy and respect they show is enough to irritate the hell out of me , not to mention the theft of our jobs .

...58 is ridiculous....
hopefully I will see those monkeys before I plow into the back of them !!

Thats no joke! I had a piece of equipment hauled by prime on a flatbed and the driver spoke zero english. I had to be on the phone with a dispatcher who was speaking spanish to the driver because he was lost. After unloading him he proceeded straight past a huge red exit sign and drove straight into the nursery where people were shopping for trees and plants, I said to myself "this is my competition".

Prime is pretty much an outlaw company! I had a friend who USE to drive for them. She told me she hated it but Prime was her foot in the door since she lived in Springfield at that time. She is now with CRST.
