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 ❤😊🙏 Check out my MERCH!!! trucking-with-rex.myspreadshop.com/

Trainee is just there to be there

5:58 ahhh that’s where I work in Verona . So many tankers coming through all the time

I drove for Prime for about 8 years, and I have to say Prime is done being what it once was. They are still a great place to get your CDL and 2 years experience, but after that, get out.

What Good Trainer U Are Rex Showing Tyler How To Load & Unload Trailer Tanker With Feed

Hey Rex you know that you can go run hazmat tankers and make more money, and have more freedom right? IJS. THATS WHAT I DID!

Ayyye my boy

Did you teach him how to fill a jug of lemonade to the brim for optimum usage?

Hey Rex , let Tyler know that there is a decent vape shop I go to when I'm in Springfield called vapor world. It's right across the street from Walmart in that plaza.

standing on the brake and putting in gear will stop any idling gears in the trans to stop.....it will extend the life of the pto

That first stop looks like Shawnee Oklahoma. Was there a few weeks ago

Much appreciated from an ex trucker..

I hauled a lot of chicken fat back in the day and we used a PTO pump to unload. Your looks like a complicated deal with that pump. Your trainee need to get a pair of work boots and ditch those Crocs. He will make BoneHead Truckers video

Keep up the good work until we meet trucking life 😆 🤣 😂 but seriously

How's the ride compared to freightliner?

Does Prime supply the Crocs?

“The millennial” 😂😂😂😂

hey, i’m currently in tnt on refer side, will i be able to switch to the tanker side once i’m done or how does that work if you know ?

Had a lot of others do the same. A few others ran reefer solo after upgrading a month in a requested a transfer to tanker. You gotta talk to your current dispatcher!

Just curious what is your typical empty miles vs loaded? I did reefer at prime and they planned loads for the lowest possible empty miles. I'd say 0-200 miles on average.

@truckingwithrex

Ай бұрын

I’m a company driver so my empty miles and loaded miles are usually 50/50. This last load I deadheaded from Ogden Utah to Hanceville AL, loaded then to Verona MO. Empty miles for me doesn’t matter my pay is per mile. As a lease driver I’d be losing money with all the deadhead I do. I’ve ran both lease and now company seems I do the “MORE” deadheading.

Gentlemen. Great Great video. Team work. That's what I'm talking about. The Big Daddy says YO DAWG GREAT JOB. I'm out G

Do you like company driving more than lease driving?

Ай бұрын

THB I like company better “right now” rates are low especially election years. So it’s best to be running company until after the election is over. The above is from a lot of experienced owner operators. Hope this helps!

Agree what others have said. Gotta put a stop to the phone usage. He's more interested in whats on the phone than what you are doing or saying. He should be following you wherever you go. If you get out of the truck, so should he. Seems like you did most of the work. With that said, I give all the credit in the world for those that train. Takes a special person to put up with it. It would drive me nuts.

My trainer did a lot of the work and planning. It wasn't until I was thrown to the fire I had to really know my shit or fail. The two months training is definitely not enough to prepare you for all the road has to offer. I'd say after 1 year I was 100% confident. Understanding the basics and preparing for the worst cases is most important.

He's more concerned about his phone than what you're saying.

Let him drop his headphone. Lack of respect. And let him drop his phone. That's gonna kill him or others.

Stop you didn't want the company to see what you were doing cuz that's not properly fixing it

Tyler is off to a great start. Looks like he just rolled out of bed. Headphones on. Hood up. Anything but sneakers on. Typical prime driver.

New breed of driver smh cant learn shyt being on the phone. Who in there right mined runs there hydraulic hoses like that leave it to prime know wounder the lines on the trailer are bent oh boy 🤦‍♂

I tried. Had to quit watching. That trainee could care less. Total disrespect.

Kick that trainee out the truck seem like he don’t care about what you have to say or teach

Complete disrespect as a trainer. I’d throw those headphones out the window

He isnt a real tanker driver there is no way im going sit in my truck while unloading then look at the wardrobe no way man take some pride man

your trainee to take them headphones off his head

Its just me but I hate to see truckers wearing flip flops, slides, crocs, etc.

That's all they had was piece of crap international nothing but junk 😂

Hey Rex, How are you liking that International truck. I use to run those back in the day when I did LTL, always enjoyed the ride and functionality of them.
