Coming to Prime Inc or want to get your CDL license? I honestly believe Prime is a solid company to start your trucking journey.

Thanks for watching my video ❤😊 🙏 Check out my MERCH!!! trucking-with-rex.myspreadshop.com/
Since Oakley is wanting me to wait 6 months of employment to go to tanker. Might be going to Prime using your code. Because before I came here I watched your videos. Food grade tanker is much easier than Cryo which I did before
I got put on the declined list for Prime after i first got my CDL clean MVR no accidents which is crazy! I wanted to pull tanker but they shot me down and im only a hour south of springfield , mo lol
@@eclipse2732 A lot of the places I “LOAD” out of for safety reasons don’t want me recording them loading the trailers. But I do ask “gotta be careful with what I’m posting” a lot of haters constantly try to get be canned lol
Glad to see you making videos again, but I got to say, make that dude do all of it. Let him make those calls to get the PO numbers etc, the more he does it them more practice and the better he’ll be. I get you don’t want to hold his hand all the time and you know where he’s better than us watching at home obviously but the more he does it the better. Stay safe.
Finally starting to cross paths with you more often. Saw you in Springfield and Verona. Just parked for the day, delivering in mattoon tomorrow. Hoping im in and out but i havent had luck there either with that. Might have to go to loves to get that free shower and do laundry if they have me wait. Keep trucking
Really enjoying your style man...good vibes! I have been in trucking about 10 years and looking to get into tankers always wanted to do it....trying to figure out the best company to get my foot in the door.
I've got the same color truck. 830106. 110k miles no major issues. If the truck loses power and struggles to get up to speed, just being super sluggish. Instead of taking it to the dealer and letting them waste time trying to diagnose it just take it to a Loves and get the fuel filters replaced. Mine was diagnosed as a fuel rail issue which includes the injectors. The dealer said it was probably bad fuel. I took the truck back and went to loves and replaced the fuel filters. That was two months ago with no more issues.
Finishing up my CDL in 2 weeks. I wanna haul fuel. I'm looking to get my Hazmat, Tanker and TWIC as soon as I can after I complete school. Do you know if Prime hires without experience? Love the videos! Keep up the hard work, and don't forget to stay sane with home time!!
That camera mess is gonna detour a lot people from going to prime we’ll see how long it last though I forgot what company had driver facing cameras and they took them out because everybody was quitting and they couldn’t get new hires
Yeah I heard of this coming, but I don’t have one in my truck 🤷♂️ so I’m monitoring the situation. 🤔 this will have a lot of drivers up and quit and could potentially back 🔥
I got my CDL with Millis Transfer, they kept the driver facing cameras on for the first year, then as long as you haven't screwed up they turn it off, but turn it back on if you hit something etc. It was like a whole different job the first day that stupid thing was off, I couldn't work for a driver facing camera company again
Why should I go to prime when other places pay for cdl school and training and making bank immediately thereafter? Prime giving 900 as a high pay is whack
Hey Rex, I just got a Garmin 1010 and I am trying to find a mount to mount it to the side of the dash. It’s too big for a windshield mount. I thought I recall you had one for your navigation. If so, would you please share a link or manufacturer I can try and find?
LOVE the color on your Binder. Generically, it is called RASPBERRY. The WORST vehicle color it black. Oh, sure it is gorgeous, but, it collects dirt & dust for a hobby. On the way home from the carwash when you pull into the drive, you will notice road dust has settled all across the hood. If you buy a black vehicle, on the way home from the dealer, stop at a full serve car wash & setup an account as you will need to spend every Saturday morning having that black ride washed. NEVER buy black. The best color? TAN. Altho tan is not an especially handsome color it hides dirt unbelievably well. You may forget to have it washed for 2 or 3 years at a time. !
We have a select few customers in the following states (Cali, Nevada, Utah and Washington) these runs are done by trainers and team trucks. $250-$400 is normal for a tank wash. This cost is passed on to the next shipper
Hi re x I was wondering about a question a question is what if I want to drive hoppers do I still have to drive tankers and get training for it 0 just to get to drive hoppers
Prime had me take physical a week before orientation. I live in Springfield so I went to a local clinic place. My recruiter sent me documents to take in with me. They do urine test.
When you apply to prime just let your recruiter know you’d like STREXA to be your trainer. STREXA is my driver code they can pull up all my info. Be safe bro 😎
@@cherob1984 depends on what you want… if your trying to stack up money go lease… if you want decent money and good benefits go company. Switched to company because I needed the benefits.
I have to be honest Rex, I enjoyed your content much more before you started doing all of this training stuff. Not digging’ it. I’m gonna hang in a little longer hoping for some changes, but if this is gonna be the way it’s going to stay, I think I’m going to have to look for a new channel. Sorry man.
1:26 please tell CHAMP to have both hands on the wheel. This overconfidence is what causes rookies to get into accidents. SMH. Not a good look for the trainer.

Should Bad fuel requires a complete wash of the fuel system and changing injectors other than replacing fuel filters

@@truckingwithrexif I get my CDL from a school do I have to start prime with a trainer?
Yeah@@WishlockPSN
hi i like u r videos it reminds me whin i was out there being out of trucking 10 years thinking of getting back in
Thx for reply. I got to take drug test the 10th and bring med. Card and long form to orientation monday.
Was thinking about Prime until the inside cameras announcement. I'll just go elsewhere
That camera mess is gonna detour a lot people from going to prime we’ll see how long it last though I forgot what company had driver facing cameras and they took them out because everybody was quitting and they couldn’t get new hires
Just to clarify. If you have "Issues" I'm for that driver to get the inside Camera. Don't punish everyone for 1 persons screw up

I heard a lot of companies are getting them these days which is freaking stupid...
Anyone else notice we don’t see Tyler’s phone or headphones in this video?? Lmao
Can you imagine running a tanker for that kind of pay!
Always liked tanker.
Why should I go to prime when other places pay for cdl school and training and making bank immediately thereafter? Prime giving 900 as a high pay is whack
so since he is on break, they are running yall like a team then right?

How much torque and power is that International?
Was you in Brookfield Mo fueling up this morning?
Got loaded this morning in southwest city and fueled in Alma AR

Question if you get on tnt training. Do you keep your current dispatch. Or you get a new one you finish upgrade?
Depends if you go company or lease. Let’s say your TNT trainer is company and you also go company “you’ll get the same dispatcher” hope this helps!
Do you have take a DOT physical day on of orientation?
A long run to the west coast? I thought all of primes tanker business was midwest and east coast. $400 for a tank wash? Is this normal?
We have a select few customers in the following states (Cali, Nevada, Utah and Washington) these runs are done by trainers and team trucks. $250-$400 is normal for a tank wash. This cost is passed on to the next shipper
@@truckingwithrex is this partly why you became a trainer? To get some west coast runs? I would have done the same.
@@thetexastrucker7934 1 of the reasons yes! The west coast runs are nice, pretty much all 1 major freeway so makes training a little less stressful.
A rex where is your freightliner tractor truck?
Switched from lease to company driver. So I had to return the freightliner. Prime gave me the international 🤷♂️
Hi re x I was wondering about a question a question is what if I want to drive hoppers do I still have to drive tankers and get training for it 0 just to get to drive hoppers
Will not need to train with a tanker driver you’ll be with a hopper trainer *if* you choose hopper division.
Day one. Is Dot physical required
Prime had me take physical a week before orientation. I live in Springfield so I went to a local clinic place. My recruiter sent me documents to take in with me. They do urine test.
Can I apply for the prime tanker with no experience ? I have my cdl with no experience
@@mattgameplay6477 yes!
Can PRIME train specific for TANKER ?
Yes
I have a year or so before I get into trucking, if I wanted you as my trainer, what would I have to do?
When you apply to prime just let your recruiter know you’d like STREXA to be your trainer. STREXA is my driver code they can pull up all my info. Be safe bro 😎
@@truckingwithrex thanks brother
Is company or leasing better?
@@cherob1984 depends on what you want… if your trying to stack up money go lease… if you want decent money and good benefits go company. Switched to company because I needed the benefits.
@@truckingwithrex i want benefits too, but i do like money
Where did you get the mount for your GPS?
Amazon!
@@truckingwithrex do you have the link cause I can't find it.

@@truckingwithrex thanks my dude
Salary per week-end
I deliver dog food there lol.
How was the pay when you pulled the hoppers?
Not good as a lease driver imo maybe when prime gets more accounts it’ll be better
Gotcha I’m leasing on the tanker side so I was just curious
I have to be honest Rex, I enjoyed your content much more before you started doing all of this training stuff. Not digging’ it.
