@@truckingwithrex thank you very much you saved me a lot of searching hopefully I’ll see you sometime as I plan on going to Springfield in September just got to ask a lot of questions as my situation is quirky
Cool Video Rex! Im glad you didn't have to wait for the weekend to be over to get your paperwork! Enjoy the new house as well! Cant wait for the next video!
Just got in the truck with my trainer today, can’t wait to get trucking. Rex, awesome video as always, hope to see you out on the road someday. If you hear a Stevens Transport truck honking at ya randomly, that’ll be me.
Damb Rex!! Those drivers tear those trailers up boya!! Its great you take care of things with the issues of the trailers you pick up with problems!! You a good man be safe bud.
Corn stalks. Not trees. Yup, guessing they didn't grow much corn in Arizona. At least the part you're from! Always fix those flaps if you can. I've seen you do it before. Some eyedrops really burn! Crazy! Carry on young man! Safe travels and God bless you and your family.
Great vid brother🫡 I got back to Springfield yesterday after finishing tnt with my reefer trainer. Getting dispatched out tomorrow with my tanker trainer. Are the inedible trailers we haul different than the food grade trailers? I noticed the some of them don’t have the box opening on the back.
Good stuff! The trailers that don’t have the box in the back are usually Milky Way trailers or older trailers with non working pumps. So when I’m pulling one of these I know my next load isn’t a load I gotta pump. Food grade your pumping every load pretty much! Hope this helps 🤙✌️
@@truckingwithrex gotcha, I wasn’t sure if prime bought Milky Way or something bc I saw one of these same types of trailers by inbound/outbound in front of the plaza yesterday, except it had prime on it. I’ve never really seen a Milky Way trailer at Springfield unless they keep them elsewhere besides the terminal. Thanks man!
Pink patch from Home Depot does a good job with small holes in drywall, for bigger repairs you can get a sheet of necessary size and do what’s called a California patch. These are the easiest repairs for someone with limited experience, congrats on the new pad brotha 💪🏽
I love your video, very quality And can you do me a favor Can you please please please Show us how to do paperwork and any thing you think we need to know about it And different types of paperwork, We will normally deal with too, That would be a big big help
I just graduated CDL school but Prime requires at least 3 months experience. Which company would you recommend as a starter company? I have offers from Swift, Bison and Roehl
Still torn if I am going to stay food grade after tnt or go inedible side. D’andre telling me to stay food grade because I already know a lot of the customers.
I’d go to the one that’s get you home more “that’s just my opinion” did food grade for 3 weeks but Springfield MO isn’t a great location for home time running food grade. Also inedible you do WAY LESS hooking up hoses and pumping off! Something to think about! 🤙✌️
I live in Tennessee so I think either one would be about the same for home. Hooking up the hoses isn’t really a big thing right now but we will see in the winter 😂
Didn’t find out the exact cause. Water got into something but after turning my battery cut off switch to off and driving regularly the next 2 days all the engine codes/lights turn off and truck is running fine 🤞🤙
No maintenance account but you can setup an emergency fund. Oil changes or preventative maintenance is taken out the following paycheck. If it’s over $500 you can break it down to $50 a week until balance is paid.
That’s rare, only time they actually climb inside is (if) it’s a trailer that sat a long time with product inside or if something falls inside the tank while getting cleaned
If you lease. You will never own that truck. Never have weekends off. Why, cause you have to pay ur own insurance , maintenance , payments , along with many other things , not disclosed to you when you sign your life away. That’s a scam. 😂😂😂
I have seen on some of your videos when backing into a loaded trailer you slam kind of hard into it why don't you drop your airbags back under the trailer and then Raise your airbags back up then finish backing under the trailer so you don't slam into it not good for the fifth wheel I am surprised your trainer never showed you thisThat is the only way I back under a loaded trailerJust a thought
Yeah no one ever told me this! I would think by doing this you could possibly high hook the trailer since your lowering your bags lower than the trailer itself? 🤔
@@truckingwithrex You are just lowering the truck to get under the trailer. As soon as you're under the trailer, lift your airbags and finish backing up.
@@truckingwithrex Give it a shot, let me know how it works for you. It'll be a lot easier, especially with those automatic trucks. You do not have the control like you do with a standard truck.

I do like having my own trailer sure a drop and hook would be nice but I don't miss fixing other people's mess.
this one of my favorite videos of yours, Rex... informative, entertaining, family oriented, DIY stuff sprinkled all in there... love it! 🍿
Cool Video Rex! Im glad you didn't have to wait for the weekend to be over to get your paperwork! Enjoy the new house as well! Cant wait for the next video!

Man, what kind of Prime driver doesn't leave another driver a problem trailer? You need to get with the program! 🤣
Lol

Good job bro keep it up
Where you at the Springfield tank wash Monday rolling out?
Nah! Monday I was in Spencer Iowa 🤙✌️
🎉❤love your video looking forward to more content way to go tex

Thanks for the info!
Are tankers easier to back up than a regular trailer?
Waiting to clear the f’ing pot in my system before beginning. Taking it safe and waiting 4 months. On month 1.5 now.
Good job
Yes!!!
They talked about the platinum status at loves. I believe the last safety meeting or the one before that.
I just got the email an activated it! Finally lol
I got the orange light and it was the filter under the bunk needed to be changed
Thanks for the info much appreciated bro! 🤙✌️
I’d love if you did a video comparing your experience with the peterbilt vs the freight liner, and what you love and hate on both.
I’ll work on this!
Bro almost sent his king pin to the moon when he connected that trailer 😂
I love your video, very quality
And can you do me a favor
Can you please please please
Show us how to do paperwork
and any thing you think we need to know about it And different types of paperwork, We will normally deal with too, That would be a big big help
No problem 🤙✌️
28 :07 Didn't think it was a problem driving with one mudflap on the trailer but guess safety trucj rule good thing replaced it with another one Rex
I got the basic. I did it for few months. If go through tanker boot camp,do I still have to go out with a trainer?
If you don’t have tank experience yes absolutely
Those old Milky-Way trailers sure do bring back some memories lol
Lol
hey rex what is it you realy transport in these trailers
Everything I deliver is used in the dry bag dog food making process!
I just graduated CDL school but Prime requires at least 3 months experience. Which company would you recommend as a starter company? I have offers from Swift, Bison and Roehl
@@bobbystokes9269 I’d go with Roehl or Bison me personally I’d go to Roehl

What do they do with electable eggs?
Did you ever find out what the engine light was all about? Water in the harness?
Didn’t find out the exact cause. Water got into something but after turning my battery cut off switch to off and driving regularly the next 2 days all the engine codes/lights turn off and truck is running fine 🤞🤙
@@truckingwithrex probably got wet. Thats what I was thinking. That happened to my old 389 years ago
I did oil change and chassid lube n Arizona n Spanish shop and total was 220$ lol n terminal no less than 500$
They are ripin you guys big time
FINALLY!!!
I always kept a mudflap under my mattress.
Yes sir thx
Bro likes taking his anger out on king pins 😂
Does prime use default oils besides delo oil.
So do lease operators have a maintenance account they take out of your pay or do you pay for oil changes etc out of your pocket at time of service?
No maintenance account but you can setup an emergency fund. Oil changes or preventative maintenance is taken out the following paycheck. If it’s over $500 you can break it down to $50 a week until balance is paid.
Are you leasing or are you doing a walkway lease?
Are you leasing or a walkaway lease?
That's field corn anyway
Do you prefer tanker or swing door.
Tanker
What isdep fuel?
Does prime pay you to bring an empty trailer to get washed or deadheading to a shipper with empty trailer?
Yes prime pays you for empty and load miles
Where are you country brother ?
You're to good of a driver for Prime imo.
Is backing in the trailer as scary as it looks
No but the 1st time I did it I was very nervous 😬
What's the average pay per load. Trying to figure out why you all get 71% instead 72%
I haven’t crunched my numbers to answer this exact question but my good educated guess is
$1600-$1800 per load! Hope this helps 🤙✌️
I don’t even need to say anything lol😂
Yooo rex
You would probaly end up with that same trailer later on if you did not change that mudflap !
Exactly!
When you have your trailer cleaned do they actually climb inside the trailer itself????
That’s rare, only time they actually climb inside is (if) it’s a trailer that sat a long time with product inside or if something falls inside the tank while getting cleaned
@@truckingwithrex wondering how it worked
Prime just let 500 drivers go !!
We are diamond not platinum
Yeah I figured that after I made this video 😂
It use to be platinum now they give us Diamond status
@@truckingwithrex yeah and for the next 2 years! It’s sweet.
If you lease. You will never own that truck. Never have weekends off. Why, cause you have to pay ur own insurance , maintenance , payments , along with many other things , not disclosed to you when you sign your life away. That’s a scam. 😂😂😂
What day do with those eggs bro
Good question I’ll have to ask on that one lol! All the other stuff I deliver is product that makes dry dog food
Are you sure those were eyedrops and not for your nose? 😂😂😂
Lol yeah I’m sure definitely not getting that brand anymore!
“Why’s my mud flap missing”
Cordless Impact driver and 30 seconds makes that someone else’s problem. You must learn to make issues field expedient
Bro take the mud flap from the trailer that was next to you, that’s a prime problem not a you problem 😂
Yup, you took too long fooling around with that mud flap, now the office and scale house are closed. FIELD EXPEDIENCE.
Get paid $15 to change a mud flap
Then get paid $0 to wait over night to get your load.
FIELD EXPEDIENCE
They say you live and learn lol
only pay ya $15? i’d bring it to Loves every time so they can pay whatever lol
😂 until it takes loves 6hrs to get you in! It’s actually $20, that’s explained in my next video I’m working on now! 🤙✌️
the horn sound like car horn.
