A Passmore (Prime Jr)
I can tell you that this WAS a great company. Now that it has been bought by Prime, it seem like drivers are leaving it like rats from a sinking ship. The attraction for this company was Home every weekend offset by lower pay than other flatbed companies. Well the pay is still .34 CPM start but the home time is getting shorter and shorter(A weekend does not consist of getting home at 4AM Saturday and having to leave early Sunday to pick up a load for Monday AM delivery) also seems like there's less mileage and more sit-and-wait for a load time, etc
Basically, their new motto should be
"Hey, we don't screw you as bad as Prime, but we're trying"

Prime bought them out,or merged with Passmore a few months ago. A guy who lives down the street from me,drove for Passmore. He has a FAST Trucking truck parked at his house now.

This is the first time I have heard anything negative about Passmore. I'd like to hear if any current or past drivers have had any bad experiences with them.

I have a neighbor that I THINK still drives for them. (White Pete's/flatbed). He was always home on Friday afternoon and never took off before Monday am. However, I have not seen him or the truck in about a month. I know he still lives there, but perhaps he bailed too. I spoke to him several times about Passmore and he used to rave about them.
