My Prime PSD experience

In those weekly payments your truck insurance is included among other things. I believe!

I feel I need to warn,you about Prime. This is from experience as an owner-operator leased to them. Prime staff and drivers may be nice and all, but, the corporate part of Prime literally sees you as little more than a living breathing log book. I had some wiggle room as my own boss, but, my dispatcher had a 100mph pen and my truck, by Prime's rules, was governed at 65mph. If you feel unsafe with a situation, they will try to pressure you into doing whatever it is. Some of their loads are misplanned. Example of this, at Newly Wed Foods, I have a pick on 5/19/2015. The shipper had me scheduled for the day after. Prime vehemently refused to accept responsibility for this mix-up and this lack of culpability ultimately lead to me terminating my contract with them. They charge a huge amount for their lease,program as well. From several of their lease drivers, average payment just for the tractor is $850/wk for a 2015 Cascadia Evolution. $1,050/wk for the Peterbilt 587. Also, if they EVER send you to 8118 Bunkum Rd. Caseyville, IL, DON'T go! It is illegal from a tractor-trailer to be down that road that ISN'T a Henderson truck or the rail company next door to them. $3,000+ fine for it. Those 2 have special permits,from the city to operate on that road. Don't risk it.

CDL Written and Skills Test

Does anyone know what the number of questions for each test section and which ones require a skills test with it? I've looked all over online and haven't found the exact breakdown for the test. I've only seen how many are in the test pools. Doesn't say anything in CDL Manual neither. Thanks in advance.

DAC Report Quit Under Dispatch

The Surface Transportation Assistance Act bars carriers from firing drivers or punishing them by not giving them loads for refusing to drive in violation of safety regulations, adverse weather or when they feel too sick to operate.

Not a good day for truckers in Oklahoma

Defiantly an eye opener. Things can happen in a blink of an eye. Looks like neither accident was the drivers fault. The accident on I-35 everyone walked away. It was a Cardinal truck involved with a Uhaul truck and a car. All burned up do to the impact.

Haven't heard much on the other accident except a guy was trying to cross the highway on foot around midnight. Sadly enough he didn't make it.
