Thank you so much I love my wife and children they make my life so much more better. Thank you for always watching and the kind feedback you’re amazing. 🤩 🤝
@@timtrowell1034 yes sir I don’t believe in flip flops I’m not on vacation even though I live in Florida I always wear flip flops on home time but out there we are professional drivers and I try to be one. The rest of these guys just wearing flip flops like they are going to the beach even the flat bed drivers while tarping and strapping 🤦🏼♂️ it’s really unsafe too
@@RunningOTR It’s nice to see PRIME doesn’t mind spending money on equipment. Where I’m at the rarely ever buy new equipment and it definitely doesn’t happen annually. The stuff we have on our yard is absolutely pathetic. 😕
@@timtrowell1034 yes sir prime rotates all their tractors every 2 years and trailers every 4 years so we always have nice new reliable trucks to drive. I saw the few US food I delivered too has old equipment
@@RunningOTR I understand why PRIME does that. PRIME turns a huge more amount of miles that we do, but the equipment we have is literally CRAP !!!! We haven’t always been that way, but over the past 10+ years it’s steadily went down hill. I keep hoping things will go back to the good old days, but I think it’s too far gone. The really sad part is nobody cares, at all .
Love the vids man. Safe travels I have the same situation. Got a 2 year old daughter and another one the way. Been in this 7 years. Hang in there I know moments are hard when leaving
Thank you very much I appreciate you liking the content 🤝 wow yeah seems like we’re on the same boat with family definitely hard to leave always but we have to make sacrifices for the ones we love. 7 years wow 🤩 stay safe out there 🙏
Your Wife and Kid are awesome , they do the best to keep you going and support you with their kindness and love , so lucky you are Sir to have a family like this as most others have no one in this world , God bless you all xxx
Yes sir I’m definitely beyond the luckiest man on this planet to have an amazing wife who love my kids and me. She’s always very supportive in everything and helps me so much to do what’s best for our family. Thanks for watching 😃 🙏
That's so helpful that your wife packed all that food for you. I can't imagine how difficult it is to back up in the dark! The additional camera is a nice addition to your videos. Deadheading 527 miles, ugh...hope that doesn't happen very often.
Yes she helps me often which I’m very grateful for. It does get tough to back in the dark when you can’t see anything for sure. I’m glad you like the extra turn cam I added for the footage. Thank you so much for the kind feedback and input. Deadheading isn’t that many miles usually 😅 If I have to deadhead that far every load I wouldn’t be too happy that for sure.
Hey brother welcome to the team hope you enjoy driving for prime and they treat you as well as they treat me. Hope to see you out there soon! Safe travels thanks for watching 🙏
Haha it takes some practice for sure but you will get better each time you do it. That’s the hardest part of trucking backing lol it’s not hard to drive the truck in a straight line it’s like a car but longer
You can have 40,000 on tandems in Florida, as long as you aren’t over 80,000. So you can even use the weight station as a free scale to get legal for other states. Wyoming is that way and I use them when a certified scale isn’t near my pickup.
Yeah I do that at times especially after hours some places have scales closed and you can drive in it and tells you your weights on steers drivers and trailer
Hey brother thanks for the comment and question and also thanks for always watching I appreciate you! You can recalibrate it by turning the screw on the gauge it self when you weight the load on the cat scale you can tune it according to the weights shown on the scale ticket. I will try and explain it in one of these videos. 🤝
@@RunningOTRMuch appreciated! My trainer isn’t that great at explaining some things lol so I always have little questions here and there. Your videos definitely help as I go through TNT and also because I can relate with having a wife and daughter that you’re away from for weeks. 🫡
I left because the pay sucks it was a local job it’s very disorganized hard to communicate with people loads not ready or won’t get loaded. I ran daily to bloomingdale Georgia floor and decor and back to cocoa Florida sometimes the loads don’t get loaded we sit there all day time counts down barely make it back. Sometimes they made 10 of us bobtail back. Oh and then cheap recaps popped so much I think in one week I had 3 blow out and they were all brand new recaps. The night shift delivered at the stores the loads we brought back. We did 478 miles daily we ran otr weekly miles and the pay wasn’t worth it. They payed $1200 weekly guaranteed after taxes took home $980. The only good thing was home daily for family sake but I needed to find more money so I left.
Yeah that’s about all I make I run the Coke account during the day down to Atlanta or Alabama area and back up. They advertise all dropping hook, but I do more live unloading or loading then I do drop and hook. Anyways, man, you take care and have safe travels.
@@Drivingwithchris yeah I’m sure driving Atlanta everyday is so annoying 😂 all them crazy drivers and that ridiculous traffic I always try to sneak by there been midnight and 3am while everyone is in their dreams at home 😆 thank you so much you also take care safe travels out there 🙏
I know this is an old video, and I apologize for responding on something 3 months later, but I'm new to your awesome channel and still making my way through the old videos. The sad goodbyes between your family and yourself is what prompted me to reply. Just wondering if you have checked into Landstar Trucking? One of my cousins works for them. He makes incredible money with them and, unless he chooses a load off the board for real long distance, he is usually within a couple 100 miles from home all the time so that he is near his wife and child. Maybe this isn't an option for you, but wanted to mention it.
Hello thank you so much for the tip about landstar I know landstar they are out of Jacksonville Florida unfortunately I can’t drive for them since I haven’t bought my own truck yet but soon one of these days I’ll be getting my own truck and may look into them. Thank you for watching and the support I appreciate it!
When my kids were small, I would have to sit on the step for a while before I could get in the truck . When ever a driver would ask me where I was going, I always said home, even if I was heading away. I would say that I’m just looking for a place to turn around. My girls are in their 30s and I have grandchildren. But leaving the ones you love is always tough. People also don’t think about the family left behind. They are sacrificing, just as you are to make a living. I commend you all.
Oh, you are so mean. I’m Guamanian who met a girl in the mainland and got married. I had lumpia for school lunch for years. Going to fiestas, full roasted pig. Red rice, oh how I can go on. But, no Balut, oh no!!!
What a wonderful husband and dad you are. You can see the love in your family.
Thank you so much I love my wife and children they make my life so much more better. Thank you for always watching and the kind feedback you’re amazing. 🤩 🤝
Be safe out there, and thanks for bringing that load to my hometown Shelbyville,Tn
@@tennwingman3350 thank you very much saftey is always number one. You got it anytime 🙏
im from shelbyville as well. kinda cool to see our town from anothers perspective
@@earladamson6839 really I go to Shelbyville quite often delivering to the Walmart distribution
@@RunningOTR I work at walmart( store). kinda awesome to see how we get our products.
@@earladamson6839 everything is hauled by a semi truck to the distribution centers and then your Walmart trucks bring it to each store 😀
Love the new turn Cam!
Thank you will use it as much as I can to make it more interesting 😃
Love the videos! Keep it up.
Thank you very much glad you love them thanks for watching and the support 😃
It’s refreshing to see you aren’t one of those truck drivers that wear “flip flops”while working. 👍🏻

See if that camera works on the outside of your truck
It works
Lol kinda funny I just moved to shelbyville and randomly came across this video. This place is a shithole 😂 but I got a job running a lowboy here
lol it’s funny how videos randomly pop up in the area people live in a few people said the same thing in the past. How’s the lowboy life though?
Gots to be prior military clean ride and on time or early
