My husband worked for Prime for a little under a year. He leased a truck through Prime. He would drive all over the US; east coast to west, north to south, etc. At the end of the week when it came to pay day, he would have some weeks and even consecutively with no pay. This was of course due to Prime always making sure they get their money first for the leased truck, then a host of other bs "fees" that would ultimately leave him with not one cent and sometimes he'd would be in the negative. How can a man provide for his family like this? They want you to stay out for weeks at a time and barely get any home time. If you do take home time you end of in the red owing for the week even of you didn't work. When he would ask his dispatcher about why he's not getting paid they would tell him he needs to drive slower so he's not using so much gas or turn the air conditioner off and drive with the windows down. He'd do that and it would still be the same thing. They sell you a pipe dream with all of the flashy accommodations then leave you high and dry. My husband spoke to another coworker who lost his apartment and had to move his family out because they are doing the same thing to him. When I told a friend about what my husband was experiencing, he said does he work for Prime? I said yes how did you know? He said that he knew someone who worked for them 15 years ago and quit after the first year because of the same thing. So apparently this is nothing new with them.
