Answer:
Just because someone is found not guilty in a law suit does not mean that their bussiness practices are truly ethical or that they are really designed to live up to the hype.
If you, or anyone else is truly serious about going with Prime then before leaving out you need to call them and ask for hard facts and figures. Ask them exactly what the cost of the following are:
Truck payment
Maintnence funds
Escrow accounts
Per mile charges
excess mileage charges
truck and cargo insurance
Quallcomm charges and fees
Charges for misc equipment..(load locks or tarps and straps if you are going flatbed)
workers comp insurance
health insurance (if they offer it and you want it)
Exactly what you are responsible for out of pocket and will not be reimbursed for(oil, fuel, tires, blown engines, turbos, warrenty deductables, tolls, scale tickets, etc) As far as scale tickets go you might as well figure $9 a pop 5 times per week, and at least $50 per week for tolls.
Once you have all of this info then set down and figure out what this is going to cost you and what your earning would be on a 2500 mile week. Might as well use 80 cpm earnings since that is all they will garuntee you will make. Figure in 6 mpg fuel average if you dont mind being hot or cold when you sleep, or 5.5 mpg if you like to be really comfy. (This will vary a lot in reality depending on driving style, types of loads, etc, but you will need something to plug in and better to shoot towards a worse case than a theoretically best case)
Now then once you have done all that then come back and tell us just how juicy of a deal Prime is for the driver.
