First i must say, i thought they were an honest company to lease on to, but after going to orientation, i'd came to find out that there going to take out an deposit out my check(was 1500.00) just to drive there truck for the first month, most companies offer a sign on bonus to drive for them,no not Prime logistics LLc, they will nickel and dime you on every thing lumpers cash advances truck repairs tires every thing. so if you see an ad on backpage for truck driver, do yourself a big favor and move on. They say you can run any where in the country, but to be honest they have burned bridges with all the high end freight brokers and are left with low paying freight brokers that runs into the northeast, then really cheap freight back out, there only concerned is about ther little 10% they get off the top, not after they pull out your check, for you tolls fuel and cash advances which are mark up to benifit them, not you as a driver or owner operator.
There trucks well, are in terrible shape and have been illegally altered which they will lie to you and say theres an extended warranty on them until some thing happens to the truck, and you try to us a dealership well because its under warranty, then come to find out thats a lie because of the illegal modifacation that they had done to the tractor themselfs, i have proof from cumming and there the place thats did it for them, because they no longer use them. you have to use ther fly by night place the use, they have no shop, so you will have to pay the shop plus a mark up that prime logistics adds on, don't they will just take it out of you check, leaving you nothing to live on or pay your bills at home.
There lease program they offer is an (joke) another scam, in order to do there lease program you must first be a driver for them, then when you go into the office to sign your paperwork you found out you owe them for the month you was driving as an company driver. the trucknote insurance trailer rental etc which puts you in the hole about 11,000.00 which is against the law. right from the start, not only did they take an deposit from you, they also took the money from the freight you ran the first month , and now they want more. This how the scam there drivers and leases drivers so they can make a profit. so please do not drive for them( prime logistics is a joke) they owe me abunch of money, and many other drivers.
Stay away from this company... they expect you to pay for your own transportation to their office(and only reimburse $150), your own drug screen, and will charge you for ANYTHING else they can think of. Their equipment is all beat up and not well maintained(the school I trained with had a yard truck that was newer than anything in use by the company, and IT never left the yard unless an instructor took it out for fuel 2 blocks away). How can these fools be in business? I wouldn't trust them with a LEMONADE STAND!
