Tractors in the refer division are cycled out every three years, the other divisions are every 4 years.

 

Then what I have seen must have been fleece operators. I have never seen a Century running for Prime that was as new as, say, a 2005 model. Say what you want about CRE, but, at least their equipment is new, or very nearly so. Of course, they pay squat, but that's another subject. :roll:

 

The leases at Prime are a very bad deal. The payments are too high. Buying a truck outright would be close to a $700 a month note. Prime and ALL other companies offering leases are raping the drivers close to $700 per week.

 

Your 100% right about that lease....but every 3 years I got a new truck and for some strange reason my personal taxes was pretty small compared to the fellas that were buying their trucks and at the end of that lease period I had more in savings then most. Its not for everybody and not all drivers do good with it but for someone that didnt have squat when I started and bad credit to boot...... My finances are much better than anything else I have done. I do drive company now and I am satisfied but its mainly from less stress footing the bill as a lease operator.

 

driver 67 whatever roehl not like that but hey u miss spelled it anyway
