Very interesting! I’m 39 years old and learned something new today. Great video!
Nice video enjoyed riding with you.I did tanks for 20 years brought back some good memories,thank you
Hey brother,
Happy for you
Be safe
Take care
You make tanker look fun lol I’ve only ever did reefer now I’m doing Dry van but this is making me consider possibly trying tanker one day
I transport dry bulk cement and chicken feed locally/short regional. My company took me straight after I graduated so i was thankful. The money is nothing to brag about but its fine for me for now. I already have my X endorsement and am thinking about hauling fuel locally after about 1 year. Hoping the pay will be better then what I’m getting now. Im still a rookie so I know these things dont happen overnight.
I heard great things about local tankers who haul fuel. Definitely worth it
I've seen you on the road, hopefully i'll catch you at the truck stop one day. Owner op Tanker yanker myself.
If you do stop bye ✌️
Thanks for the videos, bring back some memories for sure…
Just found your RUclips channel today and I’m a new subscriber!
Welcome to the channel! 👏💯
Love the videos. Keep up the good work
I know I am a year late. But man that plant sure doesn’t care about their truckers. Putting pallets down to walk on is a good way to get a messed up knee or ankle. They should relocate the piping so you are not backed into a sloped area that holds water
Rex!!! By far the best rain gear, frogg toggs!tongs!! Sometimes Walmart has them, easy on easy off best rain gear for all seasons
I’ll have to check them out, appreciate the tip 🤞🙏
Each one of those do gears is a fine and out of service and your Chicago fitting was open even tho you wasn't airing off that's also a fine just a FYI I know your going to the tank Wash but had a office tell me that nicely in AZ but it was hazmat also no food grade
Hey Rex!, nice channel men, thanks for all info, just want to ask… y see you have changed trucks couple of times… do you recommend the peterbilt or what truck you will select with the experience now, 2nd Edible or Pet… or both?? Thanks men
Maybe a lil OCD?? 😂 safe travels bro. Thanks for the content
Definitely a little OCD 😂
@@truckingwithrex 😂😂😂
Love the channel man
Hi my name is Chris I like your video
How do you clean your holes in your fittings? Why did you put them back in your truck nasty like that. Great video. Besafe
Usually at the receivers I'd rinse them out. Since they were doing construction and the water supply was shut down i just had the tank wash clean them 👏💯
Question. If I wanted to join the tanker side of prime how would I go far as applying? I have no CDL. what are the steps for joining the tanker side? Love the channel Rex!
You will have to first take your CDL permit test (computer based) at your local DMV and let them know you want your tanker endorsement also.... After you pass your CDL permit test... Go to Prime's website and apply online... Hope this helps 👏
Bay 1 is bobtail only that is why you couldnt get fuel in that bay
Nice
Did I miss something, when did you get a new truck?
Good info man
So what exactly is Digest? Where does it come from? What is it used for? I see you haul it a bunch. Thanks.
Dog digest, it is basically grinded up chicken guts & fats which is used to make dry dog food. The liquid is sprayed on the kibbles to give it flavor and taste etc....
@@truckingwithrex awesome. Thanks.
That Pete is nice! What year & model is it?
I’m going to do tanker with Indian river
Hey dont independent on your phone GPS. Us a truck GPS. I think that router not for truck.
Once you get a year of experience I recommend leaving. I stayed at prime and completed me lease and left to find another job only to find out that W2 tanker jobs where paying much more than what I was making at prime as a lease op.
After all of my expenses as a lease op I would take home around 67k a year. At the current job I'm at I I take home 90k a year and only sleep in the truck 2 times a night.
Also the lease is a bad deal. Prime simply buys trucks from the dealer and leases them to drivers for a up charge. By the end of the lease you paid 200k for a truck for them to take it from you and sell for 100k while you get nothing. If you don't believe me please talk to one of the sales reps when your at a Pete dealer getting serviced. You can also look up what your truck cost and what the monthly note would be, you will find its almost half of what prime is actually charging you.
It's all relative. I slept at my house every day when pulling doubles as a company driver for XPO and I was making 120k+/yr. .741cpm & $34.18/hr. You'll always try and chase more money without actually ever finding what makes you happy to do the job.
@@jayson1270 That's cool but paying for a truck to make less than a company driver is insane. There's loving what you do and then there's being taken advantage of
@@Ball.Daily11 100%
100% understand what you’re saying bro! I’m always keeping my eyes open an👂listening. I’m currently on track to make between 105-115K (Net after ALL expenses) and home every other weekend. Been home the last 4 weekends in a row! Not bad for a ROOKIE 👏✌️💯
@@truckingwithrex You got a better setup than me then. If I was home every weekend I'd take home less than a thousand a week lol. I had to stay out for 30 days and go home a week to make the business make since. Glad you found your lane there because in 4 years I never could
Imagine that guy posting fishing videos lol
😂
Good morning, I would like to know if I am a Brazilian with more than 15 years of experience as a driver and if the company has a program to bring a driver from Brazil
I’m some what Miss tanker
Reefer drivers in there head that's just too much work 🤣
Lol
You will do good at prime if you dont complain.
Lol couldn’t agree more
Lol at the beginning u was rolling and everything going smooth then bam! Can't get fuel in that bay. I felt the frustration there. Ruined the mood a lil bit there
😂
How do you guys feel about autonomous trucks and future of the industry?
What do you mean by the pump is in reverse? Is the pump sucking back into the tank or sucking back into the customers valve when reversing? Also when recording which way do you have the handle, pushed in or pulled out? Rookie prime question haha
Usually when the handle is pulled out (away from truck) it is offloading into the customer’s tank however sometimes the hoses get replaced and get swapped… when I reverse the pump I’m sucking what’s left in the hoses back inside my tanker trailer, I hope this helps ya! 👏💯
Did u like ur Pete/have any issues with it?? I really like the Pete's, but since getting here to Prime, I've heard ALOT of drivers complaining bout ALL the down time on the Pete cause of Mechanical/electrical issues. As to wher the freight-shakers seem to not have soo many issues or bein down long- waitin on hopein to get wutevr part(s) they need to get wutevr fixed & get bak on the road. I'm doin flatbed, but still in "TNT" & tryin to get sum knowledge on the different trucks for when/if I decide to go lease after 6months to a year of runnin solo
I gotcha, well if you get a Pete just get one with 100K plus miles because all the kinks will have already been worked out. Had a ton of issues / downtime the first 15-50K miles was down probably close to a month of breakdown 1st 4 months of having my Pete… switched to a mid-roof Freightliner. Hope this helps! Those Pete’s ride smooth and got all the bells and whistles though 🙌💯
Rex why do you change your peterbilt for the freightliner ?
Less downtime (breakdowns) better fuel mileage, better turning radius. I prefer the Pete but I made less money because of breakdowns. Hope this helps!
I hauled milk tanker for 29yrs and I know all about the "surge" ( in the milk business we called it slop). Does Prime ever do any milk hauling? Thanks and God Bless!
I know the food grade boys haul some hershey's chocolate, no milk that I’m aware of.
No prime doesnt haul milk
R u an owner opp … what type of tanker , how long is the training for how often is the driver out for what are the truck gov at ..
I’m a lease op, OTR training is 45K miles now I believe. 65mph
What was the chemicals you were hauling?
Looked like used deep frier oil.
Dog digest, it is basically grinded up chicken guts & fats which is used to make dry dog food. The liquid is sprayed on the kibbles to give it flavor and taste etc....
@@truckingwithrex sleep
No
Hey Rex, I’ve been a reefer driver with prime for 15 years. How much overnight parking is available at your shippers and receivers? Thx
I deal with about 25-30 different shippers and receivers on the inedible side. 3 of them don’t allow overnight parking
Hey Rex how long it took you to get tanker endorsement? Do you have hazmat as well? How long and how much 💰?
When i took my CDL permit test i requested my tanker endorsement... So it was an additional online test, 20 questions, get 16 correct to pass... I don't have my Hazmat.. currently YTD is making $2100 a week (that's the net amount in my pocket). i hope this helps ya out! 👏💯🚛🛣️
@@truckingwithrex appreciate it. 💪
@@truckingwithrex I am interested in my tanker endorsement. I just passed my three permit tests yesterday. Excited to get outside of the classroom at school and start playing with the trucks! Nice video man.
Do prime use 2 inch or 3 inch hoses? Or both? I been doing tankers 12 yrs. All chemicals!
3” sometimes receivers have 2” inlet so I gotta run a 3X2 reducer to pump off
Hey Rex I have a year experience and want to come to Prime but my blood pressure is a little high. Is it true they’ll deny you if it’s over 140/90?
That's a Medical card issue, go to you doc and get on a low dose of BP meds. Then you should be golden.
I have a medical card but I wasn’t sure if Prime does their own physical at orientation
I have a secret over the counter and it works better than any prescriptions... Pick up 1000mg beet root pills from Walmart, the brand is called spring valley.. take 3 in the am and 3 before bed... It'll drop you down to 120/80 in 1 day
Aight I’m on reset right now and can walk over to the Walmart in the AM. Thanks
@@ElyzoBates i promise you they work. I take em daily 👏💯🚛🛣️
Get yourself a Garcin dezl gps. Way safer than Google maps.
3:19 genuine question, by kicking the tyres with your foot, does it tell you that the tyres are are ok to drive or there’s a defect!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 when my foot touches the tire my brain instantly scans to verify the tire is fully operational 🤣 🤣
Can u plzz keep driving the black truck in your videos plzzz. I just love it 😍
You own the tractor. Do they pay you percentage or miles
I don't own it, just leasing it or you can call it renting lol... I get paid 71% of the load haul. Percentage based for lease drivers vs company drivers get paid per mile. Hope this helps 👏💯
@@truckingwithrex thanks for your quick answer. I have class A. I also wanna take tank and hazardous endorsement. Do you think it pays well if so how much more
Have you heard the US only has 25 days of diesel supply?
You gotta be kidding me
Don’t believe everything u hear
What brand of boots?
Carhartt 👏💯
No donts
👍👍👍
Your going to miss that Peterbilt once you start driving the freightliner. Peterbilt is a smoother ride.
Yes I'll miss how smooth it drives for sure. I've driven the freight shaker before and personally prefer it. Seems to climb hills before, jakes work better and better mpg. That's just my opinion! Stay safe 👏💯
Prime will hire people straight out of school? I’ve been thinking about getting my CDL for months lmao
Yeah, but I got my CDL through prime… No need to pay a school if you find a good company that’ll help you get your CDL for free 😀
Why can’t anyone ever shine up those nice alcoa rims on the trailers ???
Dude it's prime! need I say more?
and from what I've seen on here you can paint a trash can gold but it's still a trash can.
Hey are you willing to train I'm coming to Pennsylvania terminal
Prime has asked me to train but I passed on that.. I just really enjoy my space 😊👏💯 hope you get a good trainer, i was lucky getting my trainer!
Thank you it's all good if they don't have a tanker trainer will they put you with a reefer trainer
Hey am a driver am looking for a job
you cant block the bobtail only lane to get fuel
Understand what you're saying, what i don't get is...
#1 why have i gotten fuel in that bay before?
#2 why would prime install fuel pumps in a bay they don't plan on fueling trucks with? Doesn't make sense to me..
@@truckingwithrex it’s kind of new. So many complaints about bobtails having to wait for people to fuel when most bobtails are just passing through
@@Nolaotr absolutely i understand 💯, a few times I've (tried) to just pass through only to wait 10min for someone to open the door lol
