If your thinking of coming to Prime Inc or want to get your CDL license. I honestly believe Prime is a solid company to start your trucking journey.
Make sure when you fill out the online application @ www.primeinc.com put my driver code STREXA on page 2 of the application when it ask who referred you. Thanks for watching my video 🙂🙏
I'm almost finished with my tnt for reefer but I really wanna do Tablet can u teach me bro
My rule of thumb is when I start seeing cars pull over then that means I should be pulling over. Driving in weather like that, with high winds, is not fun. I'd rather be late then not get there at all.
I did pull over at the rest area away from the highway until it died down
Nothing can stop a professional driver, not even a strong storm 👍👍👍
The guy with the eye patch and three fingers always sells the best fireworks
Yep, and he needs help lighting the fire works too!
Cool video Rex! Sorry im late! Nice fireworks! Cant wait for the next video!
It was cool getting to meet you today even though you had to help us run 😂
😂 no problem always here to help when I can! Stay safe bro 🤞💪🤙 also the tnt training is the toughest. Just stick it out, you got this!!!!
I've been watching your videos for a bit now. I've been wanting to get my CDL for some time now, but never did pursue it more. I used to work for Dollar General, and they started their own Fleet service, and I was gonna go through them while I was working at a store and get my CDL with them, but in Dec. 2020 I was held at gunpoint at my store and DG wouldn't do anything to help me, so I quit. I'm based out of NY, and I've already passed 2 out of 3 tests for my CDL Permit. After watching your videos more, I put an application in to Prime Inc. (and used your driver code), and I'm really looking forward to this! I'm hoping to drive tanker myself. I guess I can say you're an inspiration to me at this point. Keep doing what you're doing, and I hope we cross paths someday so I can shake your hand.
Glad you’re ok bro! Shhmacked!
10:10 what a transition lol
Good evening Rex! Awesome video thank you for all you do to put these out every week. That storm looked so bad here in vt alot of stuff in our state was flooded. Stay safe out there weather is so unpredictable. Have a wonderful home visit can't wait for another video!
Years Ago,
I was hauling hay down US99 near Bakersfield long after dark on a hot
summer night when I pulled into this truckstop for some supper. The
place was full. I had to park way out by the highway & hoof it to the
restaurant. So I'm walking behind this row of trailers when betwix 2
tanker trailers I find this guy putting it to another in the dark. I stop &
hollered 'What the hell is going on here'? I ask & the guy on top says
'This guy had a heart attack'. I told him 'That aint the way you do it you
dumb SOB, your suppose to give him mouth to mouth'. When the guy
on the bottom looks up & says 'How to you think this all got started'?
!
Like your style! Explaining things so those who don't know will know. Keep up the awesome work
Thanks, will do!
Awesome vid brotha stay safe out their. Good info out of few RUclipsrs that do truck videos your channel definitely has alot of information on trip plans etc keep up the good work 🤘
I was brought up when go to someone's home you are there to see them not the house. So your truck is fine don't sweat the small shit. I'm surprised that the truck stops don't have generators so they could still conduct business, hell casinos do. Enjoy the vids keep um comin be safe ✌️
Damn dude, you won't catch me driving in 80 mph winds too dangerous and risky for a rollover, no amount of money is worth that driver! Stay safe....EDIT:Driving semi's for 12 years so yeah, Weather conditions don't care how many years ya got!!
Kinda came out of nowhere. Glad I’m pulling tankers (less likely to rollover due to high winds). Reefer and dryvan are at higher risk
Okay even if that's a factor with the tanker..truck is still a truck mid-roof or not, what's stopping the truck from rolling over? Ultimately count your blessings you didn't roll over bro! Take care
@@josaywhat especially being empty!
Didn't Rex pull over? Like Rex said, the wind came out of nowhere. I noticed the other trucker with the dryvan trailer did not pull over. Hint: That's why that other trucker ended up on its side.
@@brianjirish I think after some point he did.
Mann respect Rex u driving thru that bad storm if it was myself probably would have pullover on shoulder waited for about 10 minutes then proceed again .
On my truck 579 peterbilt calls for 110 psi front tires, also after driving the tires are still warm and will always give a higher reading after a drive so let them cool down before taking a reading,
Hey man been loving the videos. I haul milk from farm to dairy in a tanker. Cool to see how different it is to haul your side vs my side. I’m taking notes. Keep vlogging. Great stuff
I like you’re intro to this video
Nice video. Rex😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You should be adjusting your tire pressure when the tires are cold.
Why are you checking you’re air pressure in tires when there hot ? Isn’t it better to check air pressures when tires are cool ?
It’s pointless to check tire pressure when there hot.. Always check them when there cold
It was 75 outside when I adjusted the air pressure in the afternoon. I agree you shouldn’t be adjusting air pressure when it’s really hot 90-110 degrees outside.
Another great video. Only problem you need to put more videos out. 👍👍
1-2 a week max, do my best to keep them coming. I have no clue how people can do 3,4,5 a week… no way I can do that with how I edit my videos
Unique situation. Act of God. Powers out. It is what it is. Tank wash, fuel. Van driver ended up on his side. Safe travels. Note to self, heat expands the air in the tires and increases air pressure. Safe travels and memories and a good story made
Derechos are a helluva thing
Let's get it
Happy July 4th 🎉
Bro went through a mini tornado 🌪
That tank wash is right by my buddies house
Just yesterday I was on I-71 S at a rest area and saw a grey Prime truck with a tanker. Had to look to make sure if it was you or not, but I saw it was a Peterbilt and a high bunk, so I knew even before looking at the graphics that it was not.
If you ever see me parked anywhere honk your horn or stop by 🤞💪🤙
Just curious if you get paid to go to the tank washes, or is it figured into each load. Seems like a lot of time is wasted going to them all the time. I pull dedicated tankers (same product always) so we only have to have them washed once a year when they get inspected
Don’t get paid to wait at tank wash, if I have to go somewhere else prime adds the extra miles driven in the load
Hey Rex what is that screen navigation tablet thingy you got? Where can I get one?
I use truckers path on my phone, the larger unit is the Garmin DEZL OTR1010
こんにちは♪楽しく視聴
Rex. We’re Your tires hot when you were doing that? Because if so. That pressure will change once they become cold
It was 75 outside when I adjusted them
Growing up in Maryland, fireworks were illegal. We could only have those lame sparklers or the poopy popper things lol. So I'd always get excited to come here to Tennessee to visit and see all the fireworks. My brother and cousins would shoot them off in their front yard and I'd run around trying to grab the little army men parachuting down. Its still a great memory. Or flashforward to when I was around 12 and my brother was like 20 and we went outside once to fire an old firework from 4th of July but couldn't get it to sit up straight on the ground so we put it in a glass vase and just aimed it at the sky. It took off right at the side of my grandma's house and hit, leaving a big black mark. My brother looked at me and said "We were never here." lol. That black mark was there for decades.
Always wondered how those hubcaps on the stupid singles worked!
Lol
Empty in 80mph cross winds? I'm good
I have a question. Is it easier to take on heavy wind with a tank as opposed to a van or a reefer? I'm thinking the shape of the tank allows it to cut through the wind better but I've never pulled a tank.
Yes, with tankers you get less wind affect also the mid-roof cuts down on this as well. Making me less likely to get blown over in high winds!
When your trip planning are you looking at fuel prices to get the lowest cost fuel?
I get my fuel recommendations through the prime app it tells me the cheapest fuel
Is your route Regional or OTR? How long do you stop at home between loads? Have the loads dropped or are they constant?
I’m OTR, the last 6 weeks I’ve been home pretty much every weekend. Last 2 months been on the slower side of freight. After 4th of July things are picking up
When they do a tank wash, is there a person who goes in the tank to wash it out, how does it work?
These tank washes have a device that seats on top of the tanker dome and blast 220 degrees heat all inside the tank, sometimes yes the cleaner are required to go inside for special cleaning.
Where all do you run?
Mostly the Midwest, some northeast
What map do you like?
I use truckers path
Hello Rex, I’ve got my class A with tanker endorsement, but no experience driving a class A vehicle… would they train me..? Also 20 years driving a class B vehicle, concrete mixer… wanna work for prime but I’m 61 , think I’ve got a chance..?
Yes contact primes general recruiter number 800-248-7740
That job is very Is depressing
I’d do it Vs a office job
Better than flipper burgers at McDonald's or sitting on your butt all day in mom and dads basement!!
