Profile For Chris B.

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this.

I was part of the last remaining classes where Prime was decent enough to go through the company sponsored training with.

After 3 weeks I got to go on the road with my TNT trainer. Requirements? 30,000 miles. Wow that's a lot of miles. I didn't know it took this much driving to reach 30,000 miles. All this work for just $500/week after taxes. Definitely was not worth it. Not coming home the entire time, living with some random guy, sleeping in the bunk while the truck is moving and hitting bumps. Trusting my life in my trainers hands, if he crashes we both die. So many hard working shifts driving 11 hours a day. I really thought about quitting after 20,000 miles. It just wasn't worth it for $500 a week.

As hard as it was, I stuck through it. Couldn't wait to get those 30,000 miles so I can upgrade to my own truck and make more money..... Right?.... right?

WELL GUESS WHAT? NOW THEY INCREASED TNT TO 50,000 MILES. YES! A WHOPPING 50,000 MILES.

THAT'S LIKE DRIVING FROM NEW YORK TO LOS ANGELES LIKE 18 TIMES!

AND GUESS WHAT ELSE?

EVEN AFTER DRIVING THAT MONSTROUS AMOUNT OF MILES THEY CAN FORCE YOU TO STAY DRIVING TEAMS IF THERE ARE NO TRUCKS AVAILABLE TO GIVE YOU.

WOW... So glad I am not a part of that new class. I'm only 3k miles away from my 30k. So let me message my fleet manager and tell him to get me ready to upgrade and get into my own truck once I hit my 30,000 miles.

Wait a minute, "it's not that easy," my fleet manager said.

Me: "what do you mean?" I replied.

"There are over a hundred people waiting for trucks right now. You're going to have to wait at least a month." He said.

Me: "ok great, can I just go home and wait there? I don't mind not getting paid while I wait."

"No. You have 3 options: 1) Stay driving teams with your current trainer. 2) Get a new tnt trainer and team drive with him. 3) Go team company."

I told him I didn't want to drive teams, and he told me I have to. Wtf?

My recruiter told me I get my own truck at 30,000, My psd trainer told me I get my own truck at 30,000, My tnt trainer told me I get my own truck at 30,000 My fleet manager, up until I almost got to 30,000 told me I get my own truck at 30,000. I checked my orientation packet, and it says get the keys to your own truck at 30,000.

Anyways, I don't know what to do. I don't want to drive teams. I didn't sign up for Prime to drive teams. I think its obsurd for them to force me to continue to drive teams, and to top it off, for SCRAPS.

I'm really considering quittinf but eveey trucking company I've called said they need experience. I'm screwed. They trapped me. They enslaved me. I don't know what to do. Is there any way I can sue these guys? Please help.
