I Got A Trainer... This Ain't Easy!
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 года назад
My first few days with a CDL trainer at Prime, Inc. Got to drive a diesel truck. Finally trucking. Backing maneuvers aren't a cake walk. A heartfelt tribute to a good friend who lost his mom this morning featuring my guitar.

    Enjoyed the video! Not a trucker but found it interesting. Is it the economy as a whole with less demand or is it just slower due to your company?

    When I was OTR I did 20 minutes of jump rope every other day. At the end of my day I would whip out my jump rope mat and start a 10 minute, 2 minute break, then finish with another 10 minute session. Then I would stretch when I finished. Jump rope is highly underrated and I feel men are too embarrassed to start for fear of looking dumb. But once you get good you will look like a boxer. 🥊

    Is prime still a good place to go, as a lease purchase driver? Are they going to put driver facing cameras on all trucks ?

    • @truckshootlove
      @truckshootlove 3 месяца назад

      I think it's the best of the mega carriers, but I'm bias. It's been good to me. I think it's a great company to start at. As far as the cameras go.... that is what they are saying. Driver facing cameras in all trucks in the next 12- 18 months.

    • @aqua6613
      @aqua6613 3 месяца назад

      All new lease contracts include the clause for driver facing cameras. So any new hires should expect to have them and all current drivers should expect to be fit up in that time.

    I must confess this process is off putting and bizarre. I leave for orientation in a week. It will be something like a 17 hour greyhound bus ride. I feel like all this should be taken care of before I arrive, like what happens to those that something doesn't work out? They just get sent right back, and everyone's time is wasted.

      I don't know about that. From what I understand prime inc. is a little more strict on that matter. But that's just what I've read. Can't hurt to start applying for these jobs/classes and be forward/transparent and see if you can snag one.

    Did u look at any other truck comp to get yur CDL at like Swift or Roehl ? At Prime the Tnt 2nd part otr w a trainer.. yur really Team driving and seems Not safe at all for you rookie cdlsteringwheelholder driving a whole shift everyday ( by yurself) ( w/ in yur HOS for you) w trainer conked out sleepingdreaming in backbunk not watching yur every move. wth WTH... crazzzy Like NOT safe esp You or him or 4wheelers or Truckers or Prime. How can Prime do this ? Think Prime likes it bc canmake lots $$$$ off "using" low paying rookie frerrshCDLtrainee run that truck 24 hrs every day. Don't get it how Prime can get away w it.. and not have accidents like everyday. omg smh smfh! Plus trainer likes it bc he gets make $$ off doing lots more ( twice) the miles in his paycheck. But not safe at all for a wetbehindears mostly new CDLholder ( no otr exp, just got his paper ink still wet).. right? Be careful..Goodluck
