I can see how you feel that taking the positive over the negative and not complaining or whining makes you a more humble and appreciative person. A lot of people watch your videos to get an understanding on how good prime treats its drivers and how well they appreciate you all in return.. Keep doing ya thing you do inspire other people to get they’re CDL, and I don’t know you personally but I feel like you mean the best when giving your opinion of prime.
Your outlook on life and work is kinda like how I see things as well. It doesn’t mean that I don’t have stressful experiences but the moment I say to myself, The Serenity Prayer, it helps me to prioritize my obstacles, put them where they belong, calm down, think things through. This works about seventy five percent of the time and that’s pretty good odds. I also quote “Footprints” 👣 when I am feeling down. Keep doing you and keep on trucking!!! 🚛💙
Hi there. Let’s GO!! I’m watching on Sunday, July 7th. Yes, I remember those unfortunate breakdowns😕 But, you kept calm and handled business. It’s great to see your 1 year update. Keep on pushing and making boss moves. I love your positivity. So many don’t have multiple streams of income😂😂 Just from watching you, I know you have a plan and you’re working that plan. Just continue to do you!! Stay safe out there💚
Man I wish you wouldn't inconvenience yourself for us. We know you a trucker. You can do the show from the comfort of your home. Don't burn up for us. Appreciate all you do.
I worked with Prime 3 years ago and trust me slime, I regret messing up my opportunity! Prime has the only Lease Purchase Program where a person actually ends up owning the Truck after 3 or 4 years! Now I can't return to Prime until 2029 for walking away and yes I did make money with prime!
I abandoned the truck because I didn't see the bigger picture by now I would own my old 2021 freightliner free and clear but my poor decision is why I was told by Prime I'm in their Doghouse!
@@derricksimon9275 mmmm yeah nah I told my brother to check his temper and if he’s leaving to not to burn his bridges the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. This is a career and your a owner not an employee to act like one, he took took my advice and it worked out in the end
Salute! I appreciate you keeping it real. A lot of the detractors and whiners are people who discovered they don't have adequate work ethic. As long as you are willing to work you will never want for anything. You did great and I know you will knock out every goal!
I love your vids. I’ve been trucking ten yrs. And I’ve seen and been thru it all. Except an overhaul bkdwn. Thank God. I own for 9 years, and you keep me inspired to look down the road and enjoy. The journey
Save your duck, keep your credit up. So you’re not married to the truck. Trade in at 4 yrs. And do it again. I made aslightly over a milli in 3 out of the last 4 yrs. The 4th I was married to a 4 yr old used truck. Profit to repair ratio was not right. I traded in, low dwn pay watching you look good down the road. Keep pushing ❤
Driver , You Hit The Nail On The Head By Taking A Negative And Turn It Into A Positive Because No One Wants To Hear A Whiner & Complain A Lot ( So I Keep My Small Complaints To Myself & Pray About Them Give It To God Because I Will Not Let That Bad Outweigh The Good ) So I Just Go About My Business On Staying Positive & Peace Of Mind Out Here , So Miss Slime Pac Keep Doing What You Doing & You Are Doing Great Stay Blessed , Strong & Safe 🙏🙏✌️🚚
What up Jasmine, I’m the dude that had the yellow Pete that was tanker. Got to talk to you a few times at the terminal. I left prime at the beginning of August and got a local job in fuel hauling back home 🚛⛽️🔥 I’m glad you doing well though and I hope you continue to elevate your trucking career. Stay safe out there Slime✨
@@Slimepack392 local been cool fr! Im just someone who enjoys being home and having a life outside of trucking. Definitely grateful for the opportunity bc the local trucking market is extremely competitive for the fact you get to be home daily. Took me 2 months just to even land a job bc I started applying back in May when I was still at prime.
You will never be able to move your truck unless you can hold air pressure. If your air tank is empty .. you aren't going anywhere. If you see zero air pressure ... your engine cannot overcome the brakes. Don't burn up a torque converter trying to get the truck to move.
My truck did 96k from July 2023 to January 2024. For me to walk away with 17k in profit . Plus other problems . The story goes on and on . I should make a video about my terrible experiences with prime
Is Prime a good company or not? I’m truly confused and want to understand truths. SlimePack runs and runs and runs. She never turns down loads. How did you run your business?
Don'. T let nothing stop you from doing you.One thing about you, you all are gonna keep it and keep moving.Don't worry about nobody whereby yourself.And that's why I like about you.Always keep it true and keep moving❤❤❤
I remember when your truck wouldnt shift. This problem seems like a continuation of that issue. I'm not worried though because no matter what it is, you'll keep your positive attitude and get it handled. Regardless, Im sorry about it because I know vehicle issues are a pain in the butt. Especially when it's your work vehicle. Keep your head up and stay safe out there. 💚💚💚
Your glasses look great, BUT, if you don't need them to see I like to see your eyes when you're talking!! In my years of trucking experience you can change companies all you want, BUT, every company=same B.S. different voice telling you their sob story when you're out on the road. If you can't get along with your dispatcher/fleet manager/whatever other they go by request a new person. You can make the most of your situation or you can complain about every little thing that these people do. SOME of the other you tubers in trucking can't seem to say a good word about anything....maybe they shouldn't even be in trucking!!! Keep your spirits high and keep up the great work Jasmine.
Well done. I continue to watch you and learn about both Prime and Peterbuilt. I'm a company hazmat tanker driver in a Freightliner and I'm curious about Peterbuilt's. We'll see.
Yeah the 12 speed Endurant they spec their Peterbilts with is known for having issues communicating with the engine. The 13 speed is said to be better, I don’t know what the fix was if there was one for the 12 speed.
Thank you for your optimism. I love your videos. You have the most detailed trucking videos. Keep up the good work and don’t let anyone steal your joy.
I’m so happy for you that you have made it through the grace of God. So far Prime is what you have confirmed ✅, have a blessed 😇 time in trucking, B safe as always #mom-senior.
I worked for Prime for a year in the tanker division and I needed that and that was it. Prime is killing the lease drivers but that’s business and they do have many opportunities but the pay rates for the tanker division suck unless you’re their favorite.
Hello, congrats on beginning your journey! If you don't mind I would like to know how much you are spending for 1night? I'm from NYC and been wanting to start training with prime but I'm not sure about paying for rooms for the duration which I heard can be anywhere from 2-6months.
Thanks for the video. Just wanted to let you know this: That crap Prime tried to pull about you deadheading 600+ miles is the SAME trash Schneider used to try to pull on me back in the early 2000's. Shneider wanted me to deadhead 500+ miles to get a load. I'm thinking, "These people must think I'm a fool. This is Schneider-they got available loads AT LEAST every 60 miles no matter where I am (at least back then they did- trucking was hopping! 👍) and they want me to deadhead 500+ miles, are you kidding me??? 😠 I'll play their game and give them 225, but that's it, I got something for 'em." So after about 160 miles, I called dispatch and told them I ate something, I was throwing up and was feeling sick. 🤢 I said I was going to need a few hours to hopefully feel better so I could continue on to pick up that load (500 miles away - yea, right). So about 1hour 15 min. later dispatch called me on the phone to see how I was, that she had a load that was near me that would be a short drop that she would give me if I felt better. 🧐 I said, "What's the pickup time and exactly where is it?" I wanted to make sure she wasn't pulling no trick- (you can't con a con! 🤪) So she actually told me the details right over the phone. (in my still kinda sickly voice) I said "Yea I think I might just be able to make that one since I won't have to go to far to drop it, but I'm still a bit queasy (I said that because I wanted to make sure they wouldn't try to hit me with continuing on that other crap load once I finished the short one.) lol Actually I could tell she was kinda laughing - 'cause I think she knew what was up' and just said "Ok, I'll send you the details (to the computer). That load was exactly 7 miles away from where I had stopped and it went exactly 15 miles!!! And that other load? SOMEBODY picked it up, but nonono, it sure wasn't ME!! 😸Yea Slimepack, all companies got the SAAAAME TRICKS and I see they still trying to pull 'em!
They break down at prime a lot because they’re not specced and programmed to actually run, they’re built for strictly fuel economy. Trucks specced in that manner are gonna have the most issues.
They’re not able to perform in the way they were intended which is why a lot of the engines need inframes and rebuilds so early in their lifespans. I would never buy a mega fleet truck.
It's very well put. I've had some of my PSD students ask me, should I go company, or lease, what do I think would make more money? I tell them in all honesty, I would look into taking a success leasing class, and get all the information you can from that. I've been on the company side, since coming here, back in 2020. I would tell them I couldn't give you a straight forward answer to that question. I've had weeks where I've made decent money as a company driver, and other weeks, not so much. I always tell them, if you choose lease, or o/o, you better have a strong business mindset. Some lease ops I've talked with, say they do pretty good. Others have told me, they barely get by. What works for one person, may not work for the next. I also tell them to have good communication with your fleet manager, and anyone else you have on your team. Always let your team know of any situations that arise. You may be out here driving solo after your training, but you'll always have a team that has your back.
GLAD THAT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH PRIME HAS BEEN WONDERFUL!!!..AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOU HAS BEEN WONDERFUL....ALL LADY TRUCKERS SHOULD TRY TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF YOUR BOOK 📖 😀 😊 ❤❤...KEEP THEM VIDS COMING...
You have a great attitude and work ethic. No job situation is perfect and the successful employees know that a job is just a means to an end and roll with the punches. Sounds like you have a plan and right now Prime is a way of achieving that plan and nothing more. Never marry a job. Trust and believe that level of loyalty is one sided and is not worth it.
Hay Jasmine it looks as if you have every figured out it’s life everyday is a learning experience. For trucking only a short time you are doing well hats off to you . Keep looking to the future and your gold. I miss the road and I loved every minute . watching trucker let’s me know how economy is doing . This an experience you learn on the road and traveling.🦋❤️🤗🤗
I suspect that the reason for the space loads is the economy. People just can't afford to spend like they used to so stores don't need the inventory. I noticed that some of your loads are small but are still needed.
Hey Jasmine. As I said in an earlier post. Your attitude determines your altitude. A positive attitude makes you climb higher and a negative attitude brings you down. Don’t listen to negative criticism because most of it stems from jealousy. However, know when to listen to positive criticism because it can keep you grounded. Criticism is positive when it is genuine and giving in a respectful manner. May God continue blessing you in life and in business.
Good Morning Queen 👸🏾 Jasmine, Slimepacker Fan watching on Tuesday morning July 9th from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'm not a trucker so I appreciate your expertise explanation and insight in this industry. You are awesome and truly a woman of God. Our Heavenly Father and his realm of Angels watch over you and keep you safe and protected as you continue this journey. Don't let any Hater/s steal your joy. Remain true to yourself and continue to make your Slimepack Nation Proud.🎉❤🎉❤😊
Hey Jasmine I’m not a truck driver but if You made $76000 clear after deductions and expenses that to me is great. Even if it was $50k after expenses and deductions. to me that’s really good. Your self proclaimed number 1 fan!
AMEN Ms Slimepack! Serve up that Humble Pie! Folks love complaining, but never compliment. Continue to Shine, Have your Own voice, be your own advocate! Continued Blessings, Safe Travels #GirlPower 🙏❤️
Transmission fault. All you had to do was cycle the key to reset it by cutting it off and back on for bout 5-6 times. That issue happened to me in my kenworth
I had the same problem with my 2023 peterbilt truck a month ago and it was the gear selector system not reading the selected gear, I had to get it towed to the shop and have them fix the problem
Hey Jasmine ur a motivation as I said on the last video THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK AND FOR THE BEST OR ONE OF THE BEST TRUCKING VLOG IN THE ENTIRE WORLD IM AT THE SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI TERMINAL TOMORROW ITS MY FIRTS DAY / ORIENTATION 🙏🏽👊🏽 LEEETS GOOO !! KEEP ON TRUCKING GIRL 🔥
You will have issues with any company no matter what type of company it is , truckers will always be needed to haul all kinds of freight to stores and other places in the country, without truck drivers this country will will stop moving, we all have things we need every day, we need food and drinks as well as other things to survive in this world, if you feel at home with a company then stay with that company and push through the good times and bad times and everything will work out
I had the same issue with the truck not moving but mine came up as transmission stop and i took the air out the tanks fully and let it build back up and it went away and started working
Try Robbie D Wood. A little strict but nothing too crazy. $76k in 2.5 - 3 months doing no more than 2k miles per week. Low end 1 long load a week you can gross $5 - $7k a week
My concern for you is that lease contract. If you leave Prime, it will be very costly. I think Prime keeps giving lease drivers junk loads so they make just enough, or less, to meet their lease payment. In other words, they keep you (for lack of a better word) enslaved to the company where you'll never get ahead or make enough to buy out your contract. Also, as soon as your truck is paid off, the trunk is too old to trade up and you're forced to go with another contract on another new tractor and start over. See the vicious cycle?
The most important thing is that you are happy. One year review well you have two more years of truck payments or there about? Two more years of truck payments or there about? Safe travels ahead in the coming year.
I had a 2023 t680 that did this. Reported it truck went to dealer. They couldn't figure it out. Until I found out just turn it off and turn back on again and it'll work fine again till it does it again repeat the process
Prime is trash I don’t understand why people keep working for these corporate companies when they’re a ton of companies out there way better that actually respect and pay the drivers what they deserve. I never worked for them but I know better not to even try it. And That lease program is a trap, it only works in favor of the company, you are literally paying for that company truck payments debts. Your best bet is to save enough and buy your own truck.
@@truckingon5049 the funny thing is you think that truck is going to be yours, if is not a lease to purchase then is definitely stupid, because you’re just renting a truck with high weekly payments without never owning the thing. And believe me if I wasn’t “built for this” I would have been give up trucking a long time ago, I’m a hard runner boy. If this was my only choice to get a truck even if I wanted to get to it and make it work, you’re at the mercy of the company now so they can make or break you in never owning that truck. So like I said the best thing to do, is save for a big deposit to get that truck and truly become independent. I will be purchasing a truck in a year or two and not through these companies with their weekly high payments. That’s absurd. Work smarter no harder. But hey good luck.
I was a lease operator at a car haul company. Bought my truck a year out before the lease was up. I got my grind on and kept 10 toes down. Different strokes for different folks. I have that truck right now hauling cars signed on to a different company.
Prime is into selling trucks. I had a buddy who had two lawyers at the table when he signed his lease purchase ! Big red flag ! Prime is like a band of locusts who jump on unknowing drivers. Go somewhere else and lease ! Lease a new Freightliner ! Don't need a Peterbil/Cadillac to make money. Freightliner/Volvo two best trucks on the road i.m.o.
@@LamarA-bq1zz same here..leasing worked for me!!!! I got an sfi lease truck and paid it off in 11months. It was a 2019 freightliner with 300,000 miles.. and im still running that truck today with 605,000 miles on it
Sometimes, the computer just puts you on something that doesn't make sense. I bobtailed from Houston to Searcy Arkansas. I got paid by the mile then, so I didn't care. I always called if it didn't suit me.
I also wish to mention that Primes Facilities have free showers, discount washing machines and dryers for penny's on the dollar, A gym for fitness and I there cafeteria is second too none, Fridays Breakfast is free and I literally bout Steak and Shrimp for $13.50, SHOUT out from Seattle D!
the reason they will give you some other load first is drop and hooks and higher paying loads they will give those to there trucks first as it cost them less and they make more money off of them so refusing a load is not a bad thing and should be done sometimes cause they almost always have something better they are trying to save for there trucks first
Prim is not going to tell you the truth about how much that truck makes, they will tell you what you want to hear.your to good of a driver to be with prime.take this for what it is. From a retired truck driver of 40 years
KW stay having that problem. It's a transmission fault code.... I had two KW 2020 & 2023 and both of them had that problem. Also they don't hold the air pressure when at the dock
I can see how you feel that taking the positive over the negative and not complaining or whining makes you a more humble and appreciative person. A lot of people watch your videos to get an understanding on how good prime treats its drivers and how well they appreciate you all in return.. Keep doing ya thing you do inspire other people to get they’re CDL, and I don’t know you personally but I feel like you mean the best when giving your opinion of prime.
You go Jasmine! Do your own thing! It’s your life! God protects you always!
Amen.. I’m glad you don’t let people try and steal your joy.! ❤

GLAD THAT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH PRIME HAS BEEN WONDERFUL!!!..AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOU HAS BEEN WONDERFUL....ALL LADY TRUCKERS SHOULD TRY TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF YOUR BOOK 📖 😀 😊 ❤❤...KEEP THEM VIDS COMING...
You have a great attitude and work ethic. No job situation is perfect and the successful employees know that a job is just a means to an end and roll with the punches. Sounds like you have a plan and right now Prime is a way of achieving that plan and nothing more. Never marry a job. Trust and believe that level of loyalty is one sided and is not worth it.
She doesn't drink cool laid.lol.yall heard that, right.
Hay Jasmine it looks as if you have every figured out it’s life everyday is a learning experience. For trucking only a short time you are doing well hats off to you . Keep looking to the future and your gold. I miss the road and I loved every minute . watching trucker let’s me know how economy is doing . This an experience you learn on the road and traveling.🦋❤️🤗🤗
Enjoy keeping up with your blogs about trucking. Living on the road through you, Thanks!!!
J, don't justify anything. Be who you are. Enjoy the videos. Look forward to the next.
I suspect that the reason for the space loads is the economy. People just can't afford to spend like they used to so stores don't need the inventory. I noticed that some of your loads are small but are still needed.
Hey Jasmine. As I said in an earlier post. Your attitude determines your altitude. A positive attitude makes you climb higher and a negative attitude brings you down. Don’t listen to negative criticism because most of it stems from jealousy. However, know when to listen to positive criticism because it can keep you grounded. Criticism is positive when it is genuine and giving in a respectful manner. May God continue blessing you in life and in business.

Hey Jasmine
I’m not a truck driver but if
You made $76000 clear after deductions and expenses that to me is great. Even if it was $50k after expenses and deductions. to me that’s really good.
Your self proclaimed number 1
fan!
Hey, No “I stated the truck made that”
That’s before expenses.
@@Slimepack392
Sorry my mistake but I think that is still good money
@Shayne61 No you’re perfectly fine. I didn’t elaborate on that subject because im making a separate video. Thanks for watching 💚

Transmission fault. All you had to do was cycle the key to reset it by cutting it off and back on for bout 5-6 times. That issue happened to me in my kenworth
Love watching you, keep being positive and a good rowel model.
Good attitude!!
Southern Girl = Sweet Tea
I had the same problem with my 2023 peterbilt truck a month ago and it was the gear selector system not reading the selected gear, I had to get it towed to the shop and have them fix the problem
Love you Slimepack!

IM AT THE SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI TERMINAL TOMORROW ITS MY FIRTS DAY / ORIENTATION 🙏🏽👊🏽 LEEETS GOOO !! KEEP ON TRUCKING GIRL 🔥
Keep it up girl see you soon on the road
sweet! good luck!
You will have issues with any company no matter what type of company it is , truckers will always be needed to haul all kinds of freight to stores and other places in the country, without truck drivers this country will will stop moving, we all have things we need every day, we need food and drinks as well as other things to survive in this world, if you feel at home with a company then stay with that company and push through the good times and bad times and everything will work out
I had the same issue with the truck not moving but mine came up as transmission stop and i took the air out the tanks fully and let it build back up and it went away and started working
WATCHED ON 🌞 DAY JULY 7, 2024 EVENING 🖐🏿🖐🏿🖐🏿😊
Try Robbie D Wood. A little strict but nothing too crazy. $76k in 2.5 - 3 months doing no more than 2k miles per week. Low end 1 long load a week you can gross $5 - $7k a week
My concern for you is that lease contract. If you leave Prime, it will be very costly. I think Prime keeps giving lease drivers junk loads so they make just enough, or less, to meet their lease payment. In other words, they keep you (for lack of a better word) enslaved to the company where you'll never get ahead or make enough to buy out your contract. Also, as soon as your truck is paid off, the trunk is too old to trade up and you're forced to go with another contract on another new tractor and start over. See the vicious cycle?
The most important thing is that you are happy. One year review well you have two more years of truck payments or there about? Two more years of truck payments or there about? Safe travels ahead in the coming year.
I had a 2023 t680 that did this. Reported it truck went to dealer. They couldn't figure it out. Until I found out just turn it off and turn back on again and it'll work fine again till it does it again repeat the process
Big up girl do what you got to do
I love you; keep being you!!
Good video keep it up
I love sweet tea too😊
You are the true Spirit of being a Temple run from John
Prime is trash I don’t understand why people keep working for these corporate companies when they’re a ton of companies out there way better that actually respect and pay the drivers what they deserve. I never worked for them but I know better not to even try it. And That lease program is a trap, it only works in favor of the company, you are literally paying for that company truck payments debts. Your best bet is to save enough and buy your own truck.
@@truckingon5049 the funny thing is you think that truck is going to be yours, if is not a lease to purchase then is definitely stupid, because you’re just renting a truck with high weekly payments without never owning the thing. And believe me if I wasn’t “built for this” I would have been give up trucking a long time ago, I’m a hard runner boy. If this was my only choice to get a truck even if I wanted to get to it and make it work, you’re at the mercy of the company now so they can make or break you in never owning that truck. So like I said the best thing to do, is save for a big deposit to get that truck and truly become independent. I will be purchasing a truck in a year or two and not through these companies with their weekly high payments. That’s absurd. Work smarter no harder. But hey good luck.
I was a lease operator at a car haul company. Bought my truck a year out before the lease was up. I got my grind on and kept 10 toes down. Different strokes for different folks. I have that truck right now hauling cars signed on to a different company.
Prime is into selling trucks. I had a buddy who had two lawyers at the table when he signed his lease purchase ! Big red flag ! Prime is like a band of locusts who jump on unknowing drivers. Go somewhere else and lease ! Lease a new Freightliner ! Don't need a Peterbil/Cadillac to make money. Freightliner/Volvo two best trucks on the road i.m.o.
@@LamarA-bq1zz same here..leasing worked for me!!!! I got an sfi lease truck and paid it off in 11months. It was a 2019 freightliner with 300,000 miles.. and im still running that truck today with 605,000 miles on it
It's always people why never work for prime
Sometimes, the computer just puts you on something that doesn't make sense. I bobtailed from Houston to Searcy Arkansas. I got paid by the mile then, so I didn't care. I always called if it didn't suit me.
The “ I don’t recommend prime” got me 😂😂 but I feel ya tho I turnt my truck in not to long ago it was a process tho
You are a true truck driver can I have your autograph
Same thing with me and them cheap ass loads for $600-700, if I don't generate 4k and up I'm not getting profit, every week it's the same shit
I also wish to mention that Primes Facilities have free showers, discount washing machines and dryers for penny's on the dollar, A gym for fitness and I there cafeteria is second too none, Fridays Breakfast is free and I literally bout Steak and Shrimp for $13.50, SHOUT out from Seattle D!
Everything should be free based on income Prime is making off of you drivers.
It’s getting HOT 🥵 y’all 🤣😂🤣
😂😂Mannn!
the reason they will give you some other load first is drop and hooks and higher paying loads they will give those to there trucks first as it cost them less and they make more money off of them so refusing a load is not a bad thing and should be done sometimes cause they almost always have something better they are trying to save for there trucks first
Deadhead 650 whaaaaaaatttt!!!!!
That OTR is sho nuff a rough life.
Prim is not going to tell you the truth about how much that truck makes, they will tell you what you want to hear.your to good of a driver to be with prime.take this for what it is. From a retired truck driver of 40 years
Your log advisor is Donna Eckert

Hello how are you doing? Always love your videos❤❤❤❤❤
Love you girl!
Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊🚛
You deserve your blessings❤❤❤💯
I optained my CDL though Prime in 2019. Prime is a great company...
Ive been with prime since 2021 and ive had my fill of the bs in the office
KW stay having that problem. It's a transmission fault code.... I had two KW 2020 & 2023 and both of them had that problem. Also they don't hold the air pressure when at the dock
TH-cam and google for truck problems someone knows something that could help u get to shop but not the air leak tho lol
So you can’t pick your own loads at prime as an LP contractor?
💯
Rates are low don't be surprised
Good Video Thax 😀😀😀

I don't see girls like you every day
actually not at all
