Pros
Equipment is leased so it's pretty fresh. They rotate out trucks after they hit 300k miles.
Pay is decent depending on where you live and what you're doing. Get the dedicated contracts if you're in the northeast.
Great dispatcher (Glenn Waters if he's still there)Cons
OTR pay was lacking. Kept running me in the northeast where they made a killing and I wasn't getting much because of traffic and long waits at shippers and receivers.
It's reefer so you're gonna have a lot of "hurry up and wait"Advice to Management
Balance short and timely runs with long and quick runs. Not fair to the people that live in the northeast to get stuck running in New England.

Negative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Prime full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
The equipment (trucks and trailers) are top in the industry. Possibly the best starter trucking company in the industry if looking to get a CDL. Decent amenities at the Springfield terminal. I've had good medical service overall. The maintenance side of the house wins MVP honors hands down.
Cons
Make no mistake, these fleet managers highly encourage (subtle) FORCED DISPATCH. Home time locations need to be treated like a 90 [in other words, as high a priority it is to deliver to a customer on time, the fact that it is not the same to get home is alarming]. Mindset is more pro sales staff and fleet manager staff than driver, easily. Great starter company, but goes downhill with time. Lots of driving equating to little off time. (Average 3 days a month). Fleet managers tell drivers what loads are worth taking (they think all of them). Would like to buy a truck from Prime, but the high cost moxed with the inflated lease payments shew away the idea of making any in-house transactions (I'll purchase elsewhere).
Advice to Management
STOP saying you care about drivers without committing the actions to verify that as the truth. LISTEN to your drivers. LISTEN to your drivers. LISTEN to your drivers. LISTEN to your drivers. LISTEN to your drivers.

Dispatchers are great and the pay is some of the best for a starting out company. Huge emphasis on safety.
Cons
They will get you to pay for everything they can.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Prime full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Good pay if you don't count hours worked.
Cons
If you do count the hours worked and do the math (pay/hours worked), your pay amounts to +/- $3.25/hour - 1970's wages! Eating, sleeping, working, relaxing, medicating - all in the confines of a truck with only mileage paid is the biggest rip-off of all time! Stay away or lose your family for peanuts!
Advice to Management
Be nice to the drivers, they butter your bread while you go home nights and eat it, then sleep in your own bed!
