All I can tell you about Prime is that they will push, pressure, lie, cheat, steal, and anything and everything they can think of to sucker you into a lease rip off deal.

Go to OOIDA.com and read up on PRIME and see how bad that company is. Prime is CR England of the flatbed side.

Prime is not a real good company but your right you have to start somewhere. Just DONT fall for the lease deal because they make it look like you will make a million dollars.
