Complaint Review: Prime Logistics Corp - Rolling Meadows Illinois

They will scam there drivers, I  know because i used to work for them for 7 months, i was scamed out of new tires i had put on, the money was taken out of my check i have proof its on my payroll as deduction with the date it was deducted, unfortunitley its going to take a while to get my money back from them, please dont drive for them they will take full advantage of you. this is what they did to me. when i went to orientation for them and got my in truck, my tractor it had bald recap tires on it and the check engine light was on, and the DEF system had been deleted. come to find out its illegal for them to sell me a epa certified clean air tractor that had been modify, which voids all factory warranty that was on the tractor that they said it was covered which is a lie. i know because i had a problem with the tractor from day one, which i have proof from my phone with pictures and vidoes with the date on them and time, i kept records of everything showing all text with them about this tractor that  i signed a lease to buy. i knew this was i bad deal, but i was over 1500 miles away from home with 200 dollars on me, i figured i could make this work, i know im a great driver with 30 yrs and 2 million plus miles of safe travels under my belt, with a clean and safe driving record been everywhere driven in all kinds of wheather condition in and out of all major citys across the USA.  so i drove as a company driver first, which they took a deposit from my pay which was 1500.00 not only did i have to agree with this they also took what i made them as a company driver for 5 weeks.  not only did it take them 5 weeks to get me home to houston to get my world for my tractor, they acted like the didnt care if i got my stuff in the truck or not. so i finally get my world in my tractor they get me back up to chicago to sign my lease agreement. as i would come to find out after i bring my world with me back up to chicago that i would being paying for the last month trucknote tractor and trailer insurance cargo insusrance etc. on the tractor that i had to be a company driver to begin with, so basically from the start they have taken 1500.00 for a deposit, the 10,000 dollars that the truck made for the 5 weeks i was a company driver, they also wanted another 5500.00 for last months note and plus next months note for the same amount 5500.00, so i was started in the hole 11,000.00 the first day as a owner operator.  plus what they scamed out of me as a company driver.

i figured i could push thru this after all i know how to run and make money. i went everywhere they wanted me to go just show me the money, and they did the second month i made over 18,000.00 dollars in 3 weeks running for them, i got my self out of the whole they put me in by taking advantage of me. im a numbers guy i keep tract of everything, miles what it paid how much fuel i spent on each load, i keep tract of everything, after a month as a owner operator they fired my dispatcher which messed with my money alot after he was gone, i tried to push thru, let just say who they have in there office cant speak english that well, and are assholes to there drivers and freight brokers, they think they know how to get loads and what it takes to deliver the loads, but in all truthfullness they have no clue, they have pissed off all the good paying brokers  and are left with low paying brokers that you are stuck with, because they will not let you find your own great paying loads because they have already burned that bridge with them, then they will get mad at you because you talk with the broker they had pissed off and sweet talk yourself back into there pockets to run there freight but Prime Logistics Corp says no you cant because i went over there heads, where in my contract does it say i cant find my own loads it doesnt, thats when it started to go south they got mad because i could do i better job then they could in finding me my owned loads that paid alot more than they could ever find for me, and where i was going was only benefiting them, not me as a business owner.

i had put on all new tires and shocks all the way around this tractor had the front end fixed and alighned which where taking from my payroll check i have proof of all the deduction and the dates, i went a total of 3 months all together with no check to pay my bills or to live off of, finally a had enough its time to partways with them, so i ask them to pay me for tires i put on that tractor and went months with out a check to pay for them, what did they say i owe them money, so i kept my last 3 runs total of 3gs log sheet of my last 4days of my logs, im sure they will forge and replace the ones i didnt turn in, but iknow for a fact that they were going to get audited by DOT in december so when there log doesnt match with mine log book they are going to get into trouble falsifying documents. 

Prime Logistics Corp is a terrible company to work for and they have no clue how to run a company that is honest to there drivers, and they wonder why they cant keep any good drivers to drive for them,  i have filed reports with the Attorney General of Illinois, DOT, Better Business Bureau, i have tried to get a hold of them by phone, txt and email with no response to settle this issuse, they must be scared of me because im a united states citizen and there not.
