That felt like watching a short movie lol. As an automobile enthusiast and detailer, I love that feeling when your vehicle comes out very clean. Props to Joe for handling that beast!!🤘🏻🤘🏻
I actually work for whiting systems. The maker of the wash systems. I deliver the chemicals ans have totally been to this terminal. You were on my recommended page. Small world lol.
Love your videos. Just the way you present them is awesome. Not only do you talk about working for prime, but you also show the areas of the country that you go through. I think you’ve done a really good job in the time that you have been a prime. Keep up the good work.
I definitely keep track of your videos. You might be showing the truckstop videos, fueling up, or something else like that. You also give you a weekly update. They definitely are very good videos. Especially when you give references to times long ago according to some people LOL. Be safe out there
@@JJtheTrucker 😂😂😂WORKS FOR ME....SOME OF US DRIVERS NEED SOMETHING SOOTHING....BUT I LOVE UR VIDEOS EITHER WAY.....THANKS FOR SHARING.....AND CARING.....🤗🤗🤗
That’s really cool. FYI if you ever need to get rid of a smell in truck or trailer you can use fresh coffee grinds. Just spread them around a trailer for a few hours then sweep them out. Bingo gone. In your tractor just open a can, spread them around something like a cookie sheet and put on floor. Overnight it’ll kill even skunk. A pound in cab would do it or leave a cup in fridge and it’ll always be fresh. I’ve used this trick many times for many smells. Works great. I can fill you in on some if you’d like.
JJ the Trucker That’s great!! But please remember that trick. I’ve used it in cars for dead animal smell, skunk, gas, spoiled milk. Never let me down. Oh and spoiled chicken in fridge and old potatoes in cupboards. Not all were mine. Some were friends using my trick.
IIRC: TRUCKER'S TABLE recently had to have his VOLVO radiator flushed out at a truck wash as he was having A/C problems & had the truck wash attack the problem from under the hood, about the only place they couldn't get completely clean, was near the bottom of the radiator due to the design of the air dam. Best time to hit Blue Beacon washes are late nights while most other driver's are sleeping. 🤠
Just subscribed, lucky you can get your truck washed. I haul for a mine and it gets muddy during this time of year and wish I could wash the truck more often and haul more. It is what it is.
Springfield MO. Haven't been there for decades. I graduated in May of '83 from then named Southwest Missouri State. Name has changed since then. That is when I last saw Springfield.
Here in Knoxville it cost 33 to 47 at the Blue Beacon Truck wash..... If you want a really clean windshield cut a big onion in half and use it on the windshield let it dry then use news papers and some amonia free window cleaner works every time......
I tried that but it didn't work. I used the onion, let it dry, got some ammonia free cleaner. I had to substitute USAtoday.com for the newspaper since I couldn't find the real thing. Do you think that made a difference??? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤔
Most trucks weren't handwashed because of how big trucks is now but if we embrace the tradition we can always see some trucks 10-20yrs old are still clean and shiny
JJ the Trucker kind of creepy how your phone can read your thoughts lol. I don’t know if it really can or not but yeah haha. I’ve followed your channel since last year.
Pricing was of interest. Surprised they let you stay in there. Looks like a job one could get hurt on quick. Looking back over my years out there, I do not see how I did it and know I could not do it in todays world. Good video.🦇
@@JJtheTrucker im thinking of changing careers soon. I know when u first start trucking the money isn't that great. Now the more years experience does the mony get better. I always loved simi trucks i grew up close to the famous Iowa truck stop.
I've never had the pleasure of taking the truck to a full service wash. I usually will try and wash mine once a week at a DIY coin wash, tractor only. Usually cost me about $25. And 3 to 4 hours to clean the inside and out. I'm very meticulous and like my truck very clean. I even keep the floors spotless. I didn't notice if you put any armorall on the tires. Here in southern California, I like my cars and the truck I drive to be clean and shiny. I clean my windows at least once a day, sometimes more depending upon the heat and the bugs. I hate looking through a dirty windshield. Your truck is super squared away. When I get back to work next month I'll be aiming to have my truck set up like yours. Bummer you went right into some rain...lol
Hey brother just wanted to let you know I used your driver code as a referral as I recently applied to Prime. I hope to God that you are my trainer. 🙏🛐🙏
Hey JJ the trucker ... that was TRL ( Transcontinental Refrigerated Lines ) truck wash first used to love coming into the terminal in Pittston Pa to get my truck and trailer washed that was back in the late 1996 thanks for the memories
Do you go to Hialeah garden florida next to Okeechobee drive in miami dade county Florida state their are to many semi truck passed ther alot i dont know you passed ther some time in knoe up north is wher they pay the most it depends on the state minumon wages

@@shaggydaboy2 Almost all of prime inc trucks rock "Springfield, MO" on the side of their truck. I think owner ops can choose not to have the prime inc/sprimo but only owner ops.

Unfortunately they're inside the Prime Terminal and only Prime trucks are allowed. I'd love to take my new Landstar truck there, but nope, they won't allow it. 😭
I never have to go to the ice rink at the mall and watch the Zamboni go around any more, this was way more mesmerizing! Are they allowed to take tips? I’d feel embarrassed walking out with a $10 full service wash like that.
Lol glad you liked it. I got so many comments on the tip, that in my next truck wash video I decided to show it 😊 th-cam.com/video/a1Hjq1Sd5Rg/w-d-xo.html
I watched a video of a truck wash a while back where they just sprayed the hell out of lot of this foam stuff all over the truck. May if been in some other country, or not IDK.
Back when I drove I sometimes would hit a bug storm . I would be driving and all the sudden I would in about 1/2 mile hit a swarm of bugs and in about 30 seconds cover my windshield and the hole nose of my truck this was almost always out west.
How long did it take when you switched from manual to automatic to get used to not trying to push the imaginary clutch pedal. I switched from manual to automatic and it was ok at first but muscle memory takes over and when I would come to a stop I would have a small panic attack trying to find the clutch pedal that didn't exist lol. Also I have thought about going over the road, how do you like prime, how often are you home and as a company driver not a owner operator can you take pets along for the ride
Lol it took a while and I'd switch back and forth for a while till I finally stuck with the autos. But yeah, same panic and the foot nearly going through the floorboard and reaching for the stick.
I'm so used to backing up my trailer with my pickup truck that backing up without a trailer is tricky. Driving with and without a trailer is like knowing two different languages.

What's Fable? Other than a video game I used to play.
Aww 🥰 that guy deserved a tip. He took pride in cleaning all the nooks and crannies. Great job man!!
Never thought watching a truck get washed would be that mesmerizing 😜Keep um coming JJ and be safe....

Do these trucks come with Wi-Fi?
No, I have my own wifi Hotspots.
Oh okay thanks
I am going to be honest it’s the first i am seeing a truck wash like that cool
Yeah, it's pretty impressive seeing them wash such a big beast.
Great Job to Prime and that staff. Wash technician was fabulous and took pride in his job. Very nice quality wash. Great Job Prime.

That is the nicest truck wash I have ever seen not even TMC terminal wash bay was that nice!! not even close!
Yeah It's pretty cool. Can't wait for the brand new one in Salt Lake to open.
This is the most satisfying truck wash video for me. Epic... Thanks 😊😘
I should've known you posted this video. Never really looked at your other videos besides that one about Love's in Heyburn, ID.
Seeing your truck decal makes me wish I had a white Volvo with candy paint. Could name it 'Ruth'. 🐲😁👍🏾
Excellent choice. We'd have to call you Jaxom 😁
I saw the sprayer thingy move, and thought you were going to run over the poor guy. LOL. Then I realized it "was" moving. Nice video.

Sure, I don't mind. If you wouldn't mind, can you please include a link to the full video or to my channel?
Thanks.
Sweet ride look beautiful after the wash then it rain.
Always happens to me.
As always another great video JJ. Drive safe
Thanks again, Scoob.
This is so cool. I like this type of thing. This is the first time that I am seeing this type of video with trucks being washed.
Right on Emmanuel.
TH-cam can read my thoughts. Just about 30 minutes ago I wanted to see a video on washing trucks. What shows up on my feed? This one! Lol
Kinda scary, eh? But kinda cool too 😁

Industrial Cleaners Inc. In Parkersburg,WV does a good bit of Trailer washouts for Prime Inc. Always companies to work with
I'll check it out if I'm in need for a washout in that area 😊
As always all ready washed, at the end of the day, is raining 🌧 too bad friend.
That truck look like a champion. Frist. Prize. Trophy
Lol thanks.
No shit Prime pittston is actually where I'm heading.. hell yeah
Nice big truck and trailer
Thanks James
Thank you so much for this video
His "filthy" truck looks cleaner than brand new ones in my country 😂
The end of the video 🤣🤣
Happened to all of us
Yeah but every time? Lol. thank you for staying until the end.
well what you expect mother nature was like wow look at that nice clean truck! Not anymore!
Very cool video mate enjoyed that !
Thank you for sharing.
Nice clean truck! Looking good, for a little while, anyway! Stay Safe, Stay Healthy. #AmericaStrong

Yeah, I'd like to be meticulous like that too, but it's just too much time, and a couple hours later it's dirty again.
I used to wash trucks and trailers and before we washed the trailer I used some lemon scented dish soap it would help your trailer smell fresh inside
Good idea.
@@JJtheTrucker it is and when you get to the next delivery site they wouldn't want the trailer smelling like onions or something else
Thanks for sharing these videos. $45 for washing the truck and trailer inside and out? Damn
Wow, that’s really cool
i live like 5/8 minutes from here wonder if there hiring... looks nice when done
Hey brother just wanted to let you know I used your driver code as a referral as I recently applied to Prime. I hope to God that you are my trainer. 🙏🛐🙏

You not worried about high pressure water taking off the paint?
Nope
I enjoy washing and detailing but does it pay? I do rv transport/porter. I clear about $70k with minimal overtime.
So relaxing to watch. Hope you hand sanitised after shaking hands!!
Of course.
maybe 1day I can open 1 here in NC
Congrats on approaching 10k subs
Thanks Michael.
😜 love the end
Lol. Today's catch up day I take it?
Hey man, Prime sure has a sweet set up at the terminals. I seems like you have the same luck I had with the rain... lol lol
Right? So, that was actually last week. Then I hit another bug storm. I'm at the Springfield terminal now and got it washed again. It just rained 😭

Yeah, everything at the Beacon is manually done. No automated brushes or anything. I'm bummed that they won't let me film at their locations.
Pretty cool, but man those scrub wheels make scratches like crazy on that clear coat

That one was at Pittston, PA, not Springfield. The was bays are about the same though, except Pittston only has 1 and Springfield has like 6 total including the detail shop and tanker washout.
@@JJtheTrucker I meant the side of your truck. It says Springfield, MO on it! Guessing that's where your from?

Was wanting to see how good of a job they done because i didnt get to take mine through one before i left Springfield on my first load
IMO, Pittston does better than Springfield, but both are still really good. Can't wait for the new Salt Lake wash bay to open.

OK, one question does come to mind: What sort of transmission is your truck equipped with... A manual or an automatic?
Nice question and what gearbox transmission and type of engine?
th-cam.com/video/XLH8WSXVzNU/w-d-xo.html
If it's if it's 30 on Lincoln you got to do is take it to the truck car wash and then when you get there just take the trailer off the back
Nice Vid @JJ. Is it a rule to keep the headlamps on during the wash?
No, I just like to keep mine on unless I'm parked. I wish we had automatic lights.
