If your thinking of coming to Prime Inc or want to get your CDL license. I honestly believe Prime is a solid company to start your trucking journey. Make sure when you fill out the online application @ www.primeinc.com put my driver code STREXA on page 2 of the application when it ask who referred you. Thanks for watching my video 🙂🤙💯

Anyone being negative is clearly lacking somewhere in their life and projecting their unhappiness. We are so proud of you! Keep shining ❤❤❤

Hi Rex another tip I have is more aimed at prime I would rather see the top seals put on the dome cover instead of the spill box cover I’ve had many shippers over the years not tighten some of the dogs or leave the air valve open which lead to product leaking I check every cover on all loads drive safe Rich from new hampshire

You do what’s best for you and yours. Loving the videos!

Keep rockin man. Do what’s best for you and family!

Rex I'm in the process of getting into the transportation industry myself with a sprinter van. I did research get a lot of searching some KZread and started and thought I had plan ab&c in mind. But things change and they morph. I'm on plan g now. I bought my 2023 170 extended Sprinter and I'm driving part time locally/regionally and still working my full time manufacturing job. It's all good, I'm gaining experience and realizing I'm doing the right thing. I enjoy your honesty brother.

You got into the industry at the worst possible time. There’s very little freight to be moved, and when you can find it, it’s going for super cheap. Hopefully things work out for you in the long run!

@@GarciaMotorFreight but I'm not in the industry. I've been wanting to do this for 2 ½ years. I work at a fiberglass manufacturing facility in Newark Ohio. I make great money but I'm getting near retirement age.... 59 in 2 weeks. I plan on working until I'm 60 because of an incentive from where I currently work. At that point if the industry turns around I might go OTR full time. At 62 I plan on starting receiving social security and scaling back the OTR. I am fortunate that I have options otherwise there no way I would of bought a 66,000$ van this year.

Haters just hate themselves. Keep doing you brother.

They are lucky to have you, your doing Tankers a lot of good. Keep On Truckin 🎥🎥🎥🎬

Let's keep the videos coming. Love ❤️ them.

You’ve gotta do you bud. Always. Loving the vids Rex, keep it safe out there 👍

Love that statement. Failure is not an option. Another great video. Keep grinding. Stay Safe.

You've got a good attitude about the whole situation, keep your nose to the grind stone and you will succeed in life. Be safe

I didn't even need to watch the video to understand why you want to switch back! Keep up the good work rex! Do what's right for you! 👍

Hi Rex one pointer I can give you is I’ve got into a system when dropping or hooking up trailers do the landing gear first then air lines and pig tail then I check lights and tanker I’ve seen too many drivers forget to put the gear up or down it’s fool proof drive safe Rich from new hampshire

You go where you are more comfortable in trucking bro that's what counts.

I wanna tank or flatbed but with a tall roof freightliner. The midroof trucks are ass. I have an international LT right now, i hated it at first, but ive gotten used to it its not so bad now. Still want my freightliner tho

Flatbed was my 2nd choice 🤙💯

I’m curious do you get to choose your loads? Does your dispatch lets you know what loads are available? And you get to choose? If not, what’s the benefit/difference between a company driver and lease driver? Two of the reason I personally want to lease is to build a business credit and be able to choose loads and not have someone have control where I go and how much I’m able to do.

@truckingwithrex

Жыл бұрын

No I don’t get to choose my loads but if I don’t like the load (I can reject it) then another will come through. Company drivers @prime are forced dispatch, lease drivers are not. Hope this helps.

$3800 sure isn't alot ,for lease driver, for comparison that's how much even a company driver can make here in Europe in a month if he stays out whole time, What's an average good month for lease driver how much bring home pay?

Rex I just got switched from reefer to tanker out with a tanker trainer for 3 weeks, he does food grade, but since you mentioned being through Springfield a lot on inedible side, that’s what I want. When do I tell my fleet manager Kevin this? Do we load/unload any near Kansas City? Thank you

@truckingwithrex

Yeah I get home a lot and don’t even have to ask for home. Yes we get loaded and unloaded in Kansas City not often for me but we have 2 customers near. I would talk to your FM asap let him know you want to go inedible.

How much labor is invoked in tanker? I used to be flatbed at Melton, but that's a completely different form of labor. Thanks

They’ll probably put you on the food grade side, if you can get on the inedible side go for that. Inedible is a little less work, less bs imo 🤙💯 wish you the best. I know TNT is a drag but it’s a great feeling when you upgrade and get your own truck 💪
