I’m in a lease here and I LOVE IT!! I been out here EATIN!! I cook on the truck, don’t spend unnecessary money, and if I go home I ask for a pass through where I can just do a 34 or 48 hour break and roll out!! Or if I need longer I straddle 2 weeks so I’m not in the hole. You keep doing you and just realize that with anything, what you put in it is what you get out of it! PERIODT! So if you’re being positive and optimistic about the situation, then that’s what you will get ! Be safe out here!! You got this!!

From my experience being a passenger/companion of a prime Inc lease operator for 6months and watching and learning how Prime Inc operates. First thing first if you aren't in the mindset of this is your business and not just a job you're going to fail. Just like with any business you may not start to see a profit until after 6mths to a year. Usually you're just learning you're still learning your skills you haven't mastered trip planning you're still learning how to make sure you're keeping good records with your log. 9x out of ten you're not sleeping well or eating well. Because of poor trip planning. You must be over prepared for everything. When you keep those wheels turning you're earning and if you're not saving as soon as something happens you're fucked. When you get your settlements pay your self like an employee and put the rest of that shit up. Take loads that makes since to your time clock. Short and steady wins the race it's a quicker turn around. Loads that are 1000miles should be a 2 day ride but if you ain't prepared it may take 3 depending on weather and Rd conditions. Before you accept an offer check the weather. Check what your fuel is setting at versus to you having to fill up to take this load and how many miles it's going make sure you getting paid fair. I know Prime pays O ops 72% of the load but make sure it makes since before you accept get that dam calculator out. It's ok to say no SOMETIMES I REPEAT SOMETIMES LOL Run hard during the summer just in case your skill level for the winter isn't quite there yet. Them savings will come in handy. That truck payment ain't gone stop just because it's snowing or just because highway 80 is closed Run your ass off in the summer. I'm currently working on getting my CDL if I could just land this 90 on test day. Unfortunately I am unable to drive for Prime Inc right now. But just know they are one of the best trucking companies to drive for. You all are blessed to be able to do so. With anything to become great is to put in the hard work. But do it smart. Rob Lo started that company with his momma's blessing and one damn truck and you too can do the same and all of you watching as well.... Let's get our heads out our ass and on these loads have fun make money make memories...♥️♥️♥️🚛🚛🚛💪🏾🚛🚛🚛♥️

Man bro you are telling the ABSOLUTE truth. Its all about perspective and a stepping stone. I leased straight out the gate and have been doing so for a year at prime, and it’s done what it needs to do so far. Ordering my truck by January

We definitely have that southern hospitality here in SC! Thanks for your videos, I’m starting with Prime in a few weeks!

Man do what’s best for you bro. Don’t listen to what people say. Whatever works for them might not work for you. Keep doing you broski 💯💪🏾

You are mature beyond your years, been out here 34 years now and leasing or owning may not be for me but I'm glad you are doing it and finding out what works best for you, in due time you will figure shit out on your own. I try to talk to some of these young bro's out here about trucking, it ain't nothing out here on these streets but trouble .....stay grinding regardless.

Young man, thank you for your informative videos. I’ve been out of the trucking industry for just over 15 year’s and have been thinking of coming back out. However, I let my CDL lapse, which means I have to get it again. I have taking a hard look at Prime and particularly on the tanker division. I live just outside of Russellville, AR. You’ve made the best decision that works for you to achieve your goals. Never allow anyone to talk you out of it. For those yacking about this expense or that expense and the price of the lease payments, obviously have no clue, nor have they ever been out on their own running under their own authority, plus all the extras. I feel like Prime Leasing is a viable option for me and will be investigating it further.

Aye Brother its Diego from Philly that Engineer. I appreciate what your doing folk. !! Content is the move !!! Keep pushing brother and lets tap in next time you in the bitty.

Wasup King! Yea man that's where I am trying to go either SC Or NC. It's always great to see you! You be safe out there.

It’s called success leasing for a reason. Those people have a small mind set. Keep striving to be better brother 🔥💪🏽

Dude, it's good to see you out and enjoying it!! Have not been able to post cause we have been hauling a lot of hival loads. Heading in to Springfield to upgrade now man. Hope to see you on the road!

I’m from Philly too bro. I watch all your videos. Definitely motivating me to get my CDL. Keep going bro

I came thru in 2018, and I'm still here. I've been leasing successfully, and it's been great. Shout out to my trainer Alphonso. I did make $30,000 for 15 years, came to Prime, and now been making 6 figures leasing( if the government is watching it is all allegedly😂)

thanks for shouting us out SC💯❤

Folks will always try to talk you out of something like they have the answers. You are on the right path for yourself. Prime has come a long way since the late 90’s. I almost went there when I came out of school. Keep grinding and only surround yourself with positive thinking people. You don’t need to be hearing sob stories and negativity.

Facts that’s people for you. Do you brother. Big up to Philly and Jersey . Stay up keep up the good work.

Bro stay POSITIVE experience is your best teacher. Keep teaching somebody needs to hear the real. And you absolutely right no credit check driving new equipment and could walk away if it get hard o you

I'm a lease op at prime as well on the refer side. I hear the same thing from company drivers to. So don't let it get to you. Stay strong out there.

Yes Indeed! I'm From Brooklyn Ny and you are SO RIGHT! Once you leave on a Journey to reach your Goals DO NOT GO BACK! There is Nothing Good in the HOOD! NOTHING!

Bro, I love your feelings I think you’re right. Those are those people that make money already trying to give advice and forgot the struggle If you don’t remember, being poor than you were poor in vain But they give advice for dumb stuff work hard get your degree at 80 even though that’s OK and all but did you have some benefit in a couple years even if you’re paying higher the term it’s like take any opportunity 60 to 80 grand that’s life-changing for people that never made more than 30

Im a company driver but so what...we are all on our own journeys in life. Your journey aint my business. Im just glad to see a youngin out here doing it and getting it. We all can eat

Yoooo brodie im jus tapping in idk how long you been driving but since you lease operator an shyt i want you to be mindful of how far you drive to pick up when you drop off a load cause remember you pay for your gas bro try to make sure when they dispatch you, you not driving too far for your next load cause all that gas do add up over time nahh mean, i been watching a lot of videos cause im tryin to figure out which company ima go with to do a lease purchase i may jus go with prime i been watching slimepack and some others and i came across your video today and everybody seems to be doing good and based of some of the comments here from other prime lease drivers yall doing great so ima come on board n join the squad but ima go in the flatbed division cause thats what i do I’m a flatbed driver, shyt i prolly start my own youtube channel too, youtube needs a nyc flatbed driver on here lol, big up yaself brodie dont mind these haters on here they jus chatting bro unless they gon hire us n give us big money dont knock ppl for trying they own thing, we only learn when we jus go out there n experience it ourselves what work for them may not work for you as long as you know what you trying do or where you tryin go that is what matters…

Salute bro!!! Keep on trucking

Finally someone with a smart mindset. You will succeed.

Leave the negativity in your dust! I’m currently driving for a mega carrier and am looking to change. I’ve already put in my application with Prime. I’ve been driving dry van, but want to go tanker.

I have seen tones of prime Inc trucks on the road I worked for Warner c.r. England pam Holland j.b hunt and tones of smaller truck companies left most of them because the pay sucks you would expect to make over $1,500 a week and only make $800 being over the road and on top of it you have to buy food when your over the road you bring back only $600 a week that's not enough to pay bills or to do anything with especially not worth risking you life working at one of the most dangerous jobs out there for only $600 a week nah I'll risk it for 1,500 to 2,000 a week I'm getting over 3k working for this smaller truck company won't look back at any of those bigger companies again

You funny as shit bro and speaking all facts im leasing too doing tanker/edible your videos def be on point

They don’t check your credit because they know you not keeping the truck, they also don’t care if you walk away from the lease because they already used and abused you. They will waste no time selling another dummy the same dream

Stay positive my friend and please keep keeping it real.

All this people crying about companies being in business to make money like they in business for charity. Success Leasing is in business to make money. Just like EVERY business ever. It’s a good middle ground between being a company driver and getting part of the owner operator experience. Mainly the financials. Don’t bother with those people. They don’t know. Keep doing you😉. Make all the bread!

This is the internet everybody struggles are different. Your built different a lot of people make something out of nothing. The type of drive you got you’ll be successful in trucking. One of the most important things you got is time, trucking today is a young man game. Stack yo bread and get a head. Commercial credit hit different for us. I went through it purchasing my first truck. Get all your ducks lined up and don’t let them get you off your square, hater’s can’t see pass they’re own fears/ shortcomings. Stay strong 💪

This Aged like fine wine... i just saw a video where you company now for xpo... idk just something to think about

Love the channel brotha

Make sure Prime don't stop feeding you Towards the end of the lease. That happens with most lease programs. If you are trying to own the truck at the end of the least. I'm from Philly also.

Alot love in South Carolina, good people.

Can’t wait to start prime next month….Idc what ppl saying. Im with you Jay. F’em… Keep moving towards your goals.

Hopefully get that fathers day package for the truck * Tv, or a laptop, Entertainment devices for layovers an long waiting periods my wife bought me a entertainment bucket full of detailing things for the van i was in since i love having a clean ride *

Keep doing what you doing, trust God and ignore all bad energy. #1 it’s your life and your journey. Don’t let no one deter you from your dreams. God Bless! Stay positive and keep Grinding for you and your Daughter

Prime had me with the Hair Salon lmao 😅. I leased and paid off a truck with DART and they've been really slacking off this past year on their equipment and load revenue. My truck is at 700k so I'm needing an upgrade but I won't lease again with dart...so my orientation is Monday 😅 dart don't even know yet. Got my piss test done today and I still have a load tomorrow then Saturday ill head to Missouri. I bought a time share last year and they have 10 resorts in Branson which is an hour away so I figured if I need to come through for some services on my truck I can just dip south to Branson and enjoy those hot tubs and all the shit they got down there...imma pack my fishing poles cause you don't need a license to fish their ponds on the property. Time share is with labels and bass pro shop 😅. Moving on to bigger and better things. Just packed up my house into storage. I don't plan on having any bills except the truck and my phone and insurance. So excited cause I love that truck to be customized. Mermaid shit all on the outside and mermaid on the inside! AQUA Coming to town yall!

Big bro don’t listen to any driver out there God has your plan set in place Everyone always got something negative stuff to say but at the end of the day you arena father so do what makes you happy and make your child Eat Stop telling them because when hauling tanker you need to be focused Safe ride bro prove them wrong

Man keep grinding fam, f*ck what they talking about, they just eating off the wrong plate like you said.

Good video fam!! Prime inc reefer gang💪

When you don't have the money for a down payment for a new truck the leasing program at Prime seems very good. If you don't practice good bookkeeping skills you will never be successful in leasing program. A 78% revenue and a 28% for the company where they take care of all the permits licenses etc. at the end of lease program you get bonus when you turn your truck in. Remember it takes a billion dollars to make a million dollars in trucking. It would be nice if the trucker who had a problem with the lease program to show us the numbers on where they are not making money or losing money.

My guy Jay always keeping it a buck! Respect that always fam ✊🏾

Prime is the perfect model of corruption and con game. I am amazed at how efficient they are at ripping people off. It’s actually quite impressive how they do it

You should be asking yourself why they are willing to give you responsibility of a truck when you have no experience. They give it to you because they win either way, you dont own the truck after you sign the lease, prime still controls all power of attorney over that truck. Your name is nowhere on the title or paperwork of that truck. They then charge you triple for the truck and other nonsense deductions. You say if you walk away your not taking a loss but the loss is loss of equity in the Equipment you have put thousands of dollars into. Not to mention your "end of lease bonus" isnt even a bonus, its just money they steal from you every check then at end of lease after you paid the truck off they take thousands of your "bonus" to get the truck back to completely perfect condition them sell it for 100k right in your face and I promise that you dont have 100k in your bank account at the end of lease. Honestly this is a up hill fight, I got my CDL at prime in 2015, finished my 4 year lease so I know the type of prime koolaid you drinking right now and your homestly going to be like talking to a wall when it comes to talking you out the lease. I completed my lease in 2019, left prime, got a cheap 20k cash truck and started taking home 3800 a week only sleeping in the truck like 2 times a week and home on weekends. Got my life back from the road, lost 70 poinds and started living great, I grew to hate trucking spending my life in that sleeper, pretty much gave up my early 20s to prime so I damn sure try to stop anybody else from doing it. Today I got a small fleet of 4 trucks and spend my days running the business about 10 hours a week and pretty much living life. I do run one week out the month to keep my skills sharp and my drivers make 2000 a week salary because prime is also often the lowest bidder on freight and once I left loads started paying 3 to 4 times what prime would book them for from the same customers. I also was tanker, looks like your not on food grade but you probably will at some point. Whenever you pull outta AAK in jersey and you see third party carriers in there just know there pulling outta there for 3 times the rate prime gets yall for.

I almost did this myself, but opted for another company instead, but u can literally make double what company guys do, and you have a brand new truck, not bad if you ask me, you just gotta put the work in, some people like to just talk without knowing, especially cuz they’re lazy

I live here, NC to be exact. #Raleigh From #NY, came here 8th grade. I’ll say when I was younger the hospitality was there. As I got older I’ve learned to communicate. “Hey, how are you doing?” , “Thank You/No Thank You/No Problem/You’re Welcome etc” I feel like the hospitality isn’t there anymore. Maybe b/c I’m in Raleigh I’m speaking to less NC Natives, and that’s the problem. or I’m overboard w/ my communication. Or it’s my appearance 🤷🏿‍♂️. Who knows, but I definitely used to love it here a lot more. Random rant but I be taking it to heart b/c I’ve changed my ways to adapt to the environment and feel like it was for nothing. Currently trying to learn to “read the room.” To avoid hurt feelings. I won’t speak if you don’t.

We like that in Nc as well,,, 😂my first load delivering up North,, I was like they so rude 😂

If it works for you, keep doing your thing. I don't care about running 2500 to 3000 miles a week, I get a retirement check. I got enough time to move on, just haven't found what I'm looking for. These pockets ain't empty 😊... stay safe. Glad you enjoyed SC.."smiling faces... beautiful places".

Being a Owner Operator I never go home I live in the truck paying it off times are tough to be taking time off is not the answer 3 things you stay away from when you’re a Lease owner Women Home and People or your road to success will be blocked

I be killin all that noise when they start with that BS talking about our leasing program they money not Prime money simple 💪🏽…safe up out there king

Come on down to the south man..im from Fayetteville nc..i would recommend moving to Charlotte Raleigh columbia..i goy my cdl and am in week 2 training with a flatbed company with a regional route in texas just moved here last year...good thing is while in training they book you hotels on the weekend because company drivers usually get weekends off in flatbed ..

People complaining about getting paid 1000 a week saying that's not enough but there is no fast food, warehouse, or retail job that pay as much as trucking with a short amount of education. I can still pay bills and have some leftover. Im forever grateful for trucking.

Why would they give you a good deal? Are you an above-average trucker? Do you comport yourself better than most? Do you present yourself and communicate better than most? Look inward

Prime Inc, USA Truck, ATS, US Xpress. I been there and I agree

Always remember this. If leasing your buying a job thats all.

What y’all mean by lease is it they got the truck for you guys already or you come to them with your own truck?

Peace Achi. Did you just jump straight in a lease after you got your CDL or did you work there first? Do they lease to new CDL holders?

If you're Company do you still make 0.50-0.55 CPM ? Or it's the same as if you were lease (Meaning your CPM can Range from $1-$3 depending on the Load/Shipper/ECT)

How long does it take to pay the truck off tho, because I’m planning to go to prime?

The Carolina’s vibes are good like that because it’s the southern hospitality. It’s in our blood. #NC

You spitting all facts do you bro

In my opinion, leasing gets a bad wrap because most people don’t complete their lease. The way you described why you do what you do makes sense for your situation and that’s all that matters. Everybody is a Elon Musk on social media and in the comments but most people can’t even show you how to do it. You gotta master the art of telling people “you got it big dog” and completely disregarding what they say because they don’t understand what they are talking about.

The real goal for leaseing a truck aint to get rich its to get a truck while getting payed for it. Its a win win if things go good. I hate how everyone talking about how prime or crst are built for the company to make the profits. Of course it is, its a business not a charity. If you are smart with miles loads and fuel you will make money and at the end of the day you gonna have a truck or at least experience not all of it good but its experience thats what matters. Im really digger your videos man.

A blessed opportunity

Truth!!! Just got yourself a sub

How long is your LEASE & is it a LEASE PURCHASE?

Big Facts🎉🎉

I am definitely looking to do what you are doing

Yeah I feel the same way. And I’m about to start with prime they just called me. But not sure what division I want to go with.

Hey best of luck to ya. Good for you. Be safe and get ready for the tax bill now. You got one coming up.

DO YOUR THING IF YOU HAPPY YOU HAPPY. BAD MIND PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING BAD TO SAY .

To get to the big money you have to level up, levels in this game, yes get that valuable experience and stay out of accidents, be safe.

Straight facts) 💯 (3 months lease w/prime)

Heard the gps say north main you was in Columbia lol

My did a lease with them . And he fully recommend them always

Figure out your avg miles and how much its costs for you to run them. Dont know how prime lease is but it did a lease with ATS for over three yrs and made good money because i always knew what it cost me to run and where the freight lanes were so I wouldnt deadhead that much.

They sending me on the Utah load. Gonna be my first time at the salt lake terminal

Does prime do a background check when trying to do the lease program??

Contract freight pay is dropping, how are you guys going to survive?

Paid my truck off...been at prime for 7 yrs total ...make sure you have a plan in this game..its really that simple

Its like a mantra with lease supporters. They keep telling themselves it's worth it, but it is not. (Now if I was a single man no kids, no other connections, I would just live on the truck and keep the wheels moving. It's the only way.) My after taxes bring home every month doing local, in reality is more beneficial to me. I'm home every day, no truck, insurance, fuel, and other expenses. My income never changes at all. But if you want to do it, be smart and do it,

Jim was here 🎉

Da bottom here WP 😎

Man I got another 7k miles to go before I upgrade to lease. My plan is to give them the year. If it works out I’ll stay. If not, oh well…

Jay don't make me Pop up at Prime to bring you some food Cause that Outside food is a NO GO!

brother fuck them haters they jealous cause they scared to make money and you out there doing it . Keep on trucking :)

In the grand scheme of things, are YOU making more than a company driver, and if so, how much more?

A lot of sheep out there. Keep doing your thing Jay.💯

whats the advantage to running tankers instead of dry van??

No money down help with LLC allparts secured by warranty so the only thing you're responsible for his tires and brakes good deal to me

Chicago check in you never lied get ya money the crib gone be the crib

FACTS💯

I’d love to talk to you, I’m a company flatbed with prime and figuring out to switch to lease.
