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 🙂
Here is a little tip from 26 years of driving. To avoid someone pulling your fifthwheel while your parked, when you park for the night set your trailer brakes and then pull forward a little and while you have pressure on your trailer set your truck brakes. There isn't anyone bad enough to pull it with all that pressure on it.
The first step when trying to move forward. Is realising you are in a rut and life is going know where. You should be proud of yourself for making that move for yourself and your family. Love your down to earth attitude keep it up dude.
I applied for a tanker job with prime used you’re driver code thay could not bring me on becouse I live in North Dakota and couldn’t get me home I guess it wasn’t meant to be still love watching you have a great day rex
Hey Rex,how's things,I did tanker work for about 2 yrs.and really liked it after I got use to the slop movement..but that was quite a few yrs ago!!, and you remind me of me at that age, .lol!!be safe,and see ya' on the next one!!
Hey Rex, I found a small wet/dry vac at Lowes that cost about $30. I believe it's a 3-4 gal one but it works great in my 579. I enjoy your video's man! Stay safe driver!!
Another good video! I reassessed my initial assessment of your new intro. I think it’s pretty damned good. In addition to your truck driving skills, your editing skills are getting better as well.
Man I watch a ton of trucking. Live it breath it. I got grandfathered in years ago all I did was take my drivers test and road test for like 1,500$ lol. But if I had to do it again I’d go with prime. But I can’t get out of my old 1999 Pete 379. You are by far my favorite TH-cam truck channel. I could watch it daily I damn near do every night in the bunk lol For anyone guessing on a cdl I’m 6 years in otr and you can make over 80k a year prime seems great but don’t expect it handed hard work like Rex!
If you ever have a problem with your GoPro again, with no audio, just make your entire trip with only music. Cause you have great music nephew ❤ i would watch. ( pre trip and post trip are nice to watch too)
Rex, would it be possible to get a picture of your truck on one of your breaks someday? I have a random google image of a Prime tanker that is similar to yours as my background on my computer at work and would like yours better. If not, totally fine.
I have a question to ask you first of all I love ya videos, so what app do you use to edit your videos with? I have a TH-cam channel but I’ve been inactive since im not on the road. But I’ll be back out there in 2wks so I wanted a app I can use that’s user friendly.
Hey Rex solo Prime driver here where did you get the garbage pail/crapper from? I think you said Probert shop is there a name for that so I can look it up please get back to me.
I'm a Prime reefer driver. Question, about how much do you average gross per week on the tanker side? I'm thinking about making the switch. Thanx 4 your time, subscribed
@@truckingwithrex I guess but lighter the roast more caffeine darker roast is less caffeine and that's actually what decaffeinated is just super dark roast
Not on the Tanker side, I have heard (some reefer) drivers are on load boards but I can't confirm this. Maybe a reefer driver at prime can chime in to verify. Thanks!
Just fyi I didn’t use pc for trailer repairs used it to get food which is DOT compliant. My Qualcomm had malfunctioned in which i reported this to primes logs departing and they manually corrected it! So what did I do wrong again?
why do you want to stay at prime? why not move over to one of the various companies within the teamster union? would love to talk to you about the union and show you the true benefits of being a teamster. good content brother.

The MX Master 3 mouse is amazing. If you click the button on top next to the scroll wheel, you can unlock the scroll wheel to spin it faster!
Thanks for the tip! 🤞🙏

I'm a Prime reefer driver. Question, about how much do you average gross per week on the tanker side? I'm thinking about making the switch. Thanx 4 your time, subscribed
I’m currently averaging $1950 weekly after all expenses. $1950 net
@@truckingwithrex cool thanx
Question why do people think dark roast is stronger?
Not sure, just like the bold taste
@@truckingwithrex I guess but lighter the roast more caffeine darker roast is less caffeine and that's actually what decaffeinated is just super dark roast
Internet and wifi always slow in Effingham for some reason
😱
Hey man question have you had WiFi everywhere you traveled with the T mobile box?
Yes except Mondovi Wisconsin for some reason zero signal
@@truckingwithrex ok thx
Where do you get those jackets at
My trainer told me wal-mart doesn’t allow tanker trailers to be parked at their lots,is that true or not?
I’ve parked overnight at a Walmart in Spencer Iowa no issues been to a few different ones that allow trucks to park. No issues
😎👍
Question what app you us to edit videos? I have iPad Pro.
iMovie
Where did you get that emergency bucket lol. I need one
Bass pro shop 😂
How long is the training for tanker?
I am wondering about this too. I have questions…
45k miles OTR with a trainer at prime for tanker division
Hey you may have done it how do like this truck to the pete our do like the pete better
I miss my Pete tbh when I save up money to do lease purchase I’ll get another full size Pete
Curious can you pick and choose loads?
Not on the Tanker side, I have heard (some reefer) drivers are on load boards but I can't confirm this. Maybe a reefer driver at prime can chime in to verify. Thanks!
@@truckingwithrex gotcha bro, be safe
Get rid of your T-Mobile box
Are you a lease purchase operator?
Yes
Floor mats…..
Please buy some pieces of carpet for your floors. it will make cleaning easier
Don't publish videos of yourself using PC to drive a trailer in for repairs. Making repairs is working for the motor carrier.
Just fyi I didn’t use pc for trailer repairs used it to get food which is DOT compliant. My Qualcomm had malfunctioned in which i reported this to primes logs departing and they manually corrected it! So what did I do wrong again?
why do you want to stay at prime? why not move over to one of the various companies within the teamster union? would love to talk to you about the union and show you the true benefits of being a teamster. good content brother.
Yeah let’s work for teamsters who has Sysco drivers on strike I’ll pass
trucking is so fun🥳
