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 🙂🤙💯
I ran tanks for 15 years and that included food grade, oil field and chemical and in my entire time doing that, I’ve never seen anything as bad as what you showed. Most of what I saw would be considered an immediate out of service. At the very most if all of my fittings combined leaked enough to fill a coffee mug there was a problem that needed fixing.
The bands that you use to secure fittings onto the hose after you cut them use them as a shim between your cam ear and your fitting and it will tighten hose to keep them spills from happening.
Hey Rex, thanks for all the great content! I’m a new subscriber and been watching. Looking to get into trucking in the next week or two. I was curious what the average tanker makes per week? I know it probably depends, I was just curious. Thanks!
YTD is currently averaging almost $2100 a week after all my expenses like truck payment, permits, fees from prime, maintenance on my truck etc... I average about 1850 miles a week.. hope this helps. Everyone is different, where you live, your dispatcher, how hard you run, if you have a lot of issues with your truck or trailer etc...
@@zephyrus7258 my weekly fixed cost is $1210 this includes; truck note, insurance, plates, permits and prime’s fees…. Signed my lease at prime, truck was basically brand new only 13k miles 2022 loaded Peterbilt 579 all trucks are automatic at prime!
I have another suggested topic will you talk about doing the lease program for 2022 and 2023. I would like to know do they have Regional divisions like Southeast Midwest Northeast or West Coast. I know the changes have been changing in people like myself would like to know about switching from being a company to a lease. I am a company tanker driver
I'm watching this video and just got to the part where it shows the leaking and I have to comment...hole e crap.... I just started bulk food grade liquid tanker hauling. I'm on my fourth trip solo. Training consisted of five trips with another driver and that's it he said I could go by myself.. personally I think that's a little scant. Anyways.... That leaking is shocking... If that happened at this company there is absolutely positively no way in hell I would continue unloading it. In fact I think the company Im with would give me major shit if I tried unloading that. Does the receiver not freak out? I'm currently running local in Canada but will soon be doing cross border, I hope I don't have to deal with shit like this. Hopefully this video shames your company enough to fix their shit
Hey Rex I’m trying to come over there but prime has been playing games within their tanker division I’m currently running flatbed 6mo of experience and will be okay with switching within this week under your driver tag for your additional driver referral bonuses
Would you recommend to come into prime Inc as tanker or flatbed? (Currently starting on the 25th in Utah) Or even refer as far pay wise and opportunities ?
Motor needs to be rebuilt with new back seals, After I finished unloading I drove it to local tank wash to be repaired! Issues are other drivers do not properly report these kind of issues which they should.
@@Moondoggy1970 Both company and lease drivers are trained to replace the front seal on the pumps and we are not paid (if we do or can replace them) but they will pay me 40$ to replace a mudflap. But i have to buy the mudflap if im on the road and they reimburse me!
Okay video about tanker but you missed the mark on flatbed, it all physical and dirty work, I know cause that's what I do. My buddy switched from flatbed to tanker at Prime and he's gained weight and stayed clean. Just saying.
I’m coming to prime inc on May 15th. Is tanker good earnings in comparison to reefer and flatbed? I want good earnings and not terrible sleep schedule all the time.
I never ran the other divisions but have heard of the crazy wait times on reefer, up and down schedule etc… I personally love tanker. You basically run less miles for more money
Leasing is basically your renting a Semi-Truck to make money (I'm in a walk away lease meaning technically if i wanted to turn in my truck today i could with no penalty) lease purchase you'll have to put down 14K and truck payments between 900-1000$ per week and you'll have it paid off in 3yrs.
@@Handlegrip for every dispatched mile prime takes 1c per mile for your tire fund and 1-5c per dispatched mile for maintenance repairs which they keep when you walk away. In 7 months I've built up 7K in both tire and maintenance fund. If i walk away prime keeps it, if i finish a 4 year lease prime inc gives you a lease completion bonus. I've seen another driver complete a 4yr lease and he got a 28K check when he returned his truck.
@@truckingwithrex nice! So at this time, do you try the truck in for another truck? I can understand why a company would do this. they have to invest a lot of money in your training.

Great video. Thank you for all the insight. Keep truckin.
Waiting on my orientation date now for the tanker division! Im excited! Im coming from flatbed working with maverick transportation!
Flatbed is probably more dirty. We climb up on top of the load, unroll filthy grimy tarps. Flatbed guys do make more money than tanker though.
I appreciate the info! Be safe!
You may be dirty but on the inedible if you make a mess people will smell you from a mile away
Hauling trash is real fragrant. Lol.
Thanks for sharing
That's some bs, that much equipment leaking. They expect you to fix their equipment for free, ain't happening!!
I’ve done biodiesel but they need to stock you up on gaskets and use zip ties if the cam locks leak
Leaking like that. It got to be fix. It a safety issue.
I would love to know more I am considering coming to do the lease on the tanker division

What's your truck note there and what kind of year and miles are they? I already own a truck, but its not a mid roof

OTR excursions 🛣️🚛...... how long do you have to stay out !!! can you be out for 3 to 4 weeks......and what about your state of residency. !??
Interesting video
Were you able to get the fitting to work both food grade and inedible? How's that working for you for revenue?
Do you get paid extra pumping off the receivers ?
Yes
If youre afraid to get dirty, you belong in an office.

You should've told them you'll wait till they have a tanker position open they be bluffing and see what you'll say if they tell you to do some else
Would you recommend to come into prime Inc as tanker or flatbed? (Currently starting on the 25th in Utah) Or even refer as far pay wise and opportunities ?
Does prime hire for tanker in Wyoming? I’d like to go your route and lease. Really informative and entertaining videos!
No shippers and receivers in Wyoming on the inedible side. Mostly run Midwest some northeast and west coast
What is dog and cat digest?
Digest is basically chicken guts all grinded up into a liquid form. It's part of what's used to make dry dog food (the kibbles).
I wouldn’t drive for prime if they were the last company in the world
Why is your trailer leaking like that?That ain’t right?Why don’t you take your trailer into prime to get that leak fixed??

Flatbed was my 2nd choice, i get a lot of home time working Tanker
Can u explain about driving tanker
Hello Rex! I am subscribed to your channel. Is Prime a good company to work for? I want to run tankers.
Prime is a solid company id recommend them for sure!
Is tanker division based out of Springfield?
Yes, also they have a Decatur IN terminal
As a lease op can you work both sides simultaneously?
No because the trailers can’t work both side if this makes sense! 🤙✌️
What trailer is that?

@@truckingwithrex , InEdible Tanker ( Pet Food ) Side 🤘🤘
Do you get extra 💵💵💵 for pumping off your loaded tanker🤔??
There is no separate line item on your pay or load info but yes to answer your question. Your revenue per mile is a lot higher on loads that pump.
@@truckingwithrex , Not As A Company Driver Unless That's Changed.

Which areas are best for loads in your opinion? Northeast? Or Texas?
Texas load’s don’t pay much imho, haven’t been to the northeast much the last 6 month mostly running the Midwest some southeast
Do you make more as a prime recruiter or as a driver.
Not sure what recruiters make, that’s a good question though

Working on this for next video (food grade vs inedible tanker) 🤙💯
Hey do I need a HAZMAT to do tanker with prime
No HAZMAT needed to pull prime tankers
@@truckingwithrex thanks
Do you do a lot of overnight driving like reefer when you’re pulling tankers
@@ashantajarawayoung2421 rarely am I driving overnight.
