Speaking Of Lies And Misinformation, How Do I Learn More About Prime Logistics Inc?

Just read the great article about lies and misinformation. Very timely, as I've been trying to learn more about Prime Logistics (note, NOT Prime Inc, which I once worked for and know is a great company). This is a smaller company based in Florence, KY. A friend is considering going to work for them, possibly leasing as well, but what little I can find outside of their own website is largely negative. Does anyone here have any first-hand knowledge or experience with this company that they might share? Hate to have her pass up an opportunity based on bad info. Thanks!

One thing I learned from this site was most people that post negative reviews have a chip on their shoulder and a bad attitude to match. Watch a driver's review on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. They're angry, blaming, and rarely take responsibility for their own actions, which if you listen closely, is usually why they're sitting there complaining. According to them it's always the company's fault. Now all companies are not created equal, and the good ones will definitely treat you better then some of the others, but either way it's your personal work ethic and attitude that determines how you get on with the company. Personally I find that if I'm doing my job with a good attitude and I'm willing to go the extra mile, then it all works out. If you're new in the industry you're probably going to cut your teeth with a company that might not treat you with the utmost respect. That said, if you work hard, have a good ethnic and attitude, you'll do well and doors will open for you at betters companies. The moral of the story is work hard, do your job right, and the benefits will come.

I don't know anything about that company, but we steer people away from leasing. Here is a link to search results on Trucking Truth about leasing a truck. Read through all that before deciding to lease.

I'd like to learn more about these "good "and "bad"companies...

Chas misleads:

This is exactly the kind of misinformation we do not condone or accept as fact.

Contrary to what Chas believes, the companies offering Paid CDL Training Programs are more likely to enable the success of a rookie and be far more forgiving when more stakes are made. Swift for example has always treated me respectfully and professionally. You reap what you sow...

Chas, as Rob requested please inform us of the companies you are referring to and the first hand experience you had with them.

You reap what you sow

That's the key right there. In fact, there's a conversation going called A Fantastic Rant From A Lunatic which shows a random email I got from a guy who just hates truckers and wanted to blast us with some crazy rant.

It's often people like that who complain about the way they're being treated and never seem to figure out they're getting back exactly what they're giving. I don't know why they can't figure it out, but I guess that's why they say you can't fix stupid. If people could figure out the basics they would be fixed!

Some people are just miserable and feel its their life’s journey to make those around them as miserable as they are. Some folks would complain if you gave them 500 lb of gold because its too heavy to carry away
