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 🙂 To ALL the haters and snakes...... go kick rocks!
I normally don't comments on videos. But i have to admit, your context and the way you edit where the viewer can easily imagine being there driving the truck. I have seen many drivers vlogs but you do yours very good
'Trucking With Rex' are the best and most informative trucking videos on RUclips. Many trucking vlogs are just a lot of random talking with only occasional bits of information sprinkled in. Here we get a ton of useful information throughout the vlog about day-to-day trucking including thorough and clear explanations of trip planning, reporting information on drops and pickups, trailer washes, documenting trailer damage, breakdown of pay, hours of service etc. etc. It would be even better if at some point you could add timestamps so viewers can zoom in to a particular topic you are explaining and they want to learn. Even without timestamps, these vlog presentations are excellent and a much-needed resource! Much appreciated!
Rex, always always always do a tug test when you hooking to a trailer of any kind... never pull out with out a tug test to make sure the jaws are secured to the king pin. Paul...former trucker
May I add to that comment, always look for daylight or space between the fifth wheel plate and the trailer. Just because the jaws are locked does not always mean the kingpin is not seated.
Rex.. I also highly suggest carrying a 75foot long air hose that hooks up to your red gladhand(push your red trailer brakes in to provide air for the tires after you turn your truck on) so you can air up your tires from the steers to drives and trailer tandems...I alo recommend carrying a set of heavy duty jumper cables since your pulling tankers ..that generator should have a 12volt battery on it.. this is a back up incase your truck battery dies
Stopping before you back completely under to get out and double check the height is a good habit too. It may not be as bad with tankers, but I've encountered a few reefers that were lifted too high and I had to lower before I could hook them.
Loving the new angles and consistent informative content. Graduated from CDL School Saturday, and headed for Schneider for at least a few months, but really considering Prime for my first move.. I just want the early experience from Schneider.
Love all kinds of travel videos. Always looking for tips and tricks on how everyone else’s has various set ups. I’m not a trucker or a camping car/van nomad. Just love long distance driving when i can. Try to be completely self reliant. Anyways, enjoying the vids
Notice the line over the makes it Deezel & not Dezzel🤣 I'm sorry bro i swear I'm not one of those guys that love to point out other people's flaws🤣 but i just couldn't let that one slide😁 But you did spring for the top of the line model💰👍🏿
Love you editing and angles, what is the organizing bag on your passenger seat called? Also, all dog ears have to be tightened down it’s 350 per loose dog ear on a dot inspection FYI.
@@truckingwithrex Gotcha…well, like I said, I really enjoy watching your videos. I honestly feel like I’m ridin shotgun every time I watch. Just be safe out on our roads brother. I hope you always make it safely to all your destinations
No pay for orientation, prime loans you $200 a week, provides hotel etc. after you get you actual license and start TNT training, prime will deduct your paycheck $25 per week til balance is paid back. Hope this helps! 🤞🙏
It's the small things that gets us truckers excited about the road. You honestly have to love being on the road and in the truck. If you don't your life will be miserable and I suggest you get into another profession. Stay safe buddy 🙏🏼 Like the content brother
Hey Rex my wife and I are considering going to prime and joining the tanker food division, would you recommend it? Also within the food division are most of the loads located out east? If you’re free we would love to ask some more questions privately, thank you in advance!
@@truckingwithrex how long do you stay out before taking home time? I know it’s different when you’re lease. I’m looking to just be a company driver since I don’t have much experience.
Hello there, I was wondering if you had any information about the pay structure at Prime, specifically whether it's weekly or monthly. Also, I'm curious to know how much truckers typically make on average per month at Prime. I'm considering a career change and looking into trucking opportunities with them, so any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.
Most of the time I pulled smooth bore tanks with a manual transmission. How is it to pull them with an automatic? If you came out of that place in Mattoon and drive west about an hour you would be 2 blocks north if my house
Check the 5h wheel jaws? Dont you do a tug test each & every time you back under a trailer? You should lest you leave the trailer sitting out in an intersection somewhere. 1set the trailer brakes 2release the tractor brakes 3give the trailer a gentle TUG. If you are locked to the trailer it will not go. If it does-fix it. !
Awesome! I didn’t get footage or record the loading process here at pet solutions just recorded a few clips that would go into 1 of my videos yes. Thanks for stopping bye ✌️
Nice vest and shirt. What make and model of knife do you carry. It looked pretty sweet. Plus what kind of gear do you everyday carry on your person. Might be time for a pocket dump for all of us gear whores out here. Stay safe and blessed bro. Peace.
That Qualcomm should be launched out the window into the ditch! GoPro should be hooking you up instead of having to purchase their equipment that doesn't last as long as it should!
Why in the world would you put your seatbelt on while on customer property your not going to be going fast enough to need it. Also how in the world can you not even acknowledge that awesome k100? 🤦♂️

My favorite feature of the 1010 is that it shows rest areas and truck stops that are up ahead and the distance. It has saved my ass countless times.
You can also customize it is for Walmart quala washes
lol Rex, you sound just like me when I get something new for the truck. we're easily pleased us truck drivers 🤠🚛💨. H. Liverpool UK 🇬🇧
The part that broke was the spare tire bracket. Love the vids
I'm definitely learning how to be a tanker yanker watching you! 😅 Not bad for a 62 year old dog learning a few new tricks!
You are the best truck driver and keep up the good work be safe out there👍👍💯💯 and can we ride someday it will be awesome to see you do the tanker

You should checkout @Road Train Adventures then because whilst this guy is great, Road Train Adventures does an awesome job all round.
@@thebestaudits agreed, great content!
Rex! Another great video have a great week.
Thanks for the passenger princess cam
Great video Rex. I like these longer videos. Much love from the Philippines.
Def loving the new camera views bro!! An that Garmin fits perfectly within the center console area🤟🏾💫
Hi Rex. What an awesome job at making this video. We do something similar in making videos in Australia.
Love the new angles Makes me feel like I’m in the truck right there with you. Keep up the good work love your channel.
Great work man... Awesome channel.
The new angles are really really nice Rex. Great investment for the channel. Much love
You’re gonna be the Cecil B. DeMill of trucking!
Awesome video bubba! I'm at prime rn. I'm actually Mike Tatums current student. Taking my test tomorrow!

Dang Rex ! I am glued to your videos. Soo.. entertaining!! Keep them coming bro, I just found you today, and I am a new subscriber.
I appreciate that! 🤞🙏
Thats a real nice GPS unit! Looks clean
You see Rex the fact you didn’t call prime or show his truck info is mad respect from trucker to trucker
Yeah I would NEVER do that! I just keep it real an try to help others not put ‘em on BLAST! 🤞🙏
Rex, the part that broke is called a tire carrier.
Some companies mount it behind the cab, or under the trailer such as that one was.
Appreciate the tips as always! 🤞🙏

Another great video the cameras are sweet
Cameras look good and that was a spare tire rack
Appreciate the info!
The part of the trailer was a spare tire holder. Have a safe travels
Appreciate the helpful information as always! 🤞🙏
Ahhh so you be putting you rushing me off the phone in the videos lol 😂

it's a tanker belly spare tire rack.
Hey Rex waiting on my trainer now❤ decided to go tankers! Wish me luck
Oooooo YOU GOT THIS! 🤞🙏
Looks good!
The photos you took underneath tanker with broken support is your spare tyre carrier
whats the song called when you were dropping off your loaded trailer? keep up the awesome work man your channel is amazing and your hilarious.
I’ll have to go back and check! I’m on the road.
Song is called (add it up) by Nbhd Nick got it on epidemic sounds!
The other song during the time I’m dropping off the trailer is… (Things to do) by (ballpoint)
@@truckingwithrex thank you you’re awesome man
Liking the videos. Could you do a video on why you choose tanker? I’ll go check your other vids. TIA
Notice the line over the makes it Deezel & not Dezzel🤣 I'm sorry bro i swear I'm not one of those guys that love to point out other people's flaws🤣 but i just couldn't let that one slide😁 But you did spring for the top of the line model💰👍🏿
Did you get a copy of the bills for the empty dirty trailer before hooking and dead heading to the tank wash, great video
Love you editing and angles, what is the organizing bag on your passenger seat called? Also, all dog ears have to be tightened down it’s 350 per loose dog ear on a dot inspection FYI.
Have you try to use? The T-Mobile sync up and drive Internet for your truck
Set your speedometer on the gps I have mines set at 64 gives good eta
Appreciate the tips as always! 🤞🙏
Love watching your vids man. Got a question. Why do you mostly pull those milkyway trailers instead of prime trailers?
Milky Way is a company Prime bought out and I run a lot of them on the inedible tanker side for deliveries and pickups!
@@truckingwithrex Gotcha…well, like I said, I really enjoy watching your videos. I honestly feel like I’m ridin shotgun every time I watch. Just be safe out on our roads brother. I hope you always make it safely to all your destinations
I love how organized you are, submitting docs using your phone, damage photos...very detailed. How's the Garmin DEZL OTR1010?
IMHO I think Truckers Path App is superior to the DEZL, how the Garmin can be a useful tool by itself. Hope this helps ya! 🤞🙏
Not a bad way to spend $900 on a GPS lol. I love it.
I like like 20 miles north of Danville lol
😂 yay!
Awesome camera angles. Like how you copy my dash set up 😂
I’m so oblivious didn’t even realize I did 😂
Rex,
Pronounced “diesel” Lol.
Be safe driver!
And FYI…. The spare tire rack was broken.
😂 I appreciate the tips!
Does Prime pay for orientation and if so how much?? I already got my permit and doing some research
No pay for orientation, prime loans you $200 a week, provides hotel etc. after you get you actual license and start TNT training, prime will deduct your paycheck $25 per week til balance is paid back. Hope this helps! 🤞🙏
My husband is having the same issue with his Garmin. The address will pop up on his phone but he needs extra steps for the Garmin.
Question, why do y’all wear gloves to open the doors, and to fuel up, and everything else? I always wondered that
Otherwise your hands will get REALLY DIRTY quickly!

I personally LOVE tanker don’t ever plan on pulling anything else. If you run food grade you’ll run them Newark NJ ports a lot AKA the northeast
How much you make starting out as a tanker driver for prime
Is Tanker only East of the Mississippi at Prime? Thinking about coming on board. I live about 15 minutes from Pittston terminal.
No I run Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana etc…pretty much Midwest with some northeast. Plenty of loads northeast for food grade though!

No issues pulling these tanks with an automatic! It’s a small world!
I thought the qualcomm would have a GPS

No Delaware action! Well damn lol

Always keep a pen lol

What happened to Truckers Path?
I’m still using truckers path app and IMHO it’s superior to the Garmin however the DEZL can be a useful tool for truckers!
How is it being a tanker I'm thinking coming to prime once I get my cdl permit
I personally LOVE tanker!

Bro I found u bc u came to my work me and my partner loaded ur tanker at pet solutions are u making a video ab loading there
Awesome! I didn’t get footage or record the loading process here at pet solutions just recorded a few clips that would go into 1 of my videos yes. Thanks for stopping bye ✌️
Geez how much was that Garmin
Approximately $900 for the Garmin Dezl 1010
963$ with tax, it’s a tax write off for me. I still prefer truckers path imho it’s more superior!

Why in the world would you put your seatbelt on while on customer property your not going to be going fast enough to need it. Also how in the world can you not even acknowledge that awesome k100? 🤦♂️
Didn’t know I needed to explain when I don’t latch my seatbelt it constantly BEEPS really loud…. K100 was nice didn’t know I NEEDED to talk about it….
