Do what I did on my first.....panic, then realize you signed up for this so......go inside and be very cheerful, act like you know what you're doing but tell anyone you talk to you're new, but not stupid. Your attitude and eagerness is very important, if you come off angry, lazy, inattentive it's going to be a long first load......chances are after the miles and all the confusion, you will find out you screwed up something, chase down all the demons and put them behind you. If your pay come up short or not all as in my case. Don't be an ass when you call payroll, they deal with asses all day long, you want act like it's your aunt or uncle and you're calling about not getting your $20 Christmas gift....mildly disappointed. Get names and times, relax. The next load will be easier, payroll will tell you to resubmit paperwork properly and now you are no longer a truck virgin. You'll find being cheerful and kind will grease the wheels, and those you encounter again, will treat you better than the angry guy sitting in corner who has his crumpled paperwork in hand sweating!! You may hate the people who call all the time but be polite! Those same people will look for you, and you'll be moving all the time. Not sitting and complaining in the parking lot! Trucker Brown is giving the logistics, but there is more to it.....don't be an ass!!!
I like how u went back to the basics/how to get this money....i took that real step into trucking cause of u !!! “Quit making excuses video” im out here n loving it 6 months n counting
You are the coolest RUclipsr I have ever seen. In this video there was a part where you said you weigh the truck before you top of the fuel and on your t-shirt it said nobody's perfect. That's pretty boss.
I really appreciate that you take the time to educate by sharing your experience and knowledge with us whether someone an old head or a rookie, such as myself. In the school training program that I graduated from for my class A, taught us literally nothing about how to do the adjustment of weight in the trailer, or how to put chains on, no practice doing logs, ect....I feel like I was just thrown into the cab, taught how to drive and 4 moves, 90, parallel right & left, of side and alley dock....not once did I get the 90 and only got to practice it one time. These schools, not all of them, teach the BARE essentials and kick ya ass out the door. Thank you again. Stay blessed TB🙏❤🙏
Always been interested in trucks and trucking. love the content on your channel TB. As a pilot, it’s cool to see how weight and balance of the load is just as important in trucking. Don’t get it twisted folks. Trucking IS a technical job. Just look at the regs! Great info as always. Keep doin what you do TB!
I have a pair of Shades just like those. Hey thanks for this video I've been driving 17 years and never realize what that box was for on the trailer and actually I have a truck like yours and never really knew how to use the suspension load gauge.
Friend has been watching you for a while once he became a trucker. Now that I am starting orientation at Schneider in a week and wanted to stop procrastinating I
Thanks TB. Hey if it works for you and that's what you do then that's what you do thanks for sharing how you do it. Maybe it will help someone else out there. Drive safe driver
I enjoy watching your videos I am not a truck driver the general public our myself just think a trucker driver just drives a big truck which this is not the case you have to know a lot of stuff hope your having a good week
TB , why you did'nt put the lock on where it is flush with the hasp , you know top hole down through the bottom so a thief can't stick a cutter in there , i know that is a strong lock , i'm jus asking, be safe
Anything under 30 k slide it to the 6 or 7 hole ur fine also if u real heavy cat scale before fuel 7 lbs per gallon on weight to figure how much fuel u can add and since u a reefer u have to account for that fuel then weigh after fueling just to be safe
Thanks for your videos. I'm looking into Prime transportation as a brand new driver and am slightly scared, but your videos have helped take away some of my fear. Wondering if you'd consider doing a video, if you haven't already, on newbie questions that don't often get asked? Questions like, when a company driver finishes and is able to go home for home time, how do they get to and from home to where they keep their trucks parked? Does the company pay for their transportation by bus/uber or is it a reimbursement thing? After all the training is finished, when you're released to hit the road on your own, what happens if you face a situation that wasn't covered in training or that you never thought to ask about? Just simple what if questions like that.. Can you also hold a CDL A, CDL B, and CDL C license with every type of special permit simultaneously (for those kind of people like me who wants to be able to drive and haul any and every type of load)? How about fueling, as a company driver (not an owner operator), how does refueling work? Do you have to pay and then be reimbursed in the next payday, or does the company give you fuel charge cards to cover it or something?
I’m with prime too and that weight gauge on the trailers shouldn’t be trusted sometimes. On newer trailers it’s alright but on the older trailers that haven’t been serviced in years the gauge could be off by thousands of pounds. Other than that, I do everything you do.
Smh I didn’t even kno that the axle could adjust.... FU**kkkkkk!!! I need to learn all this shit.... I was a dispatcher before so I kno a few stuff but to drive I’m completely lost..... I’m start at 0 knowledge.... pray for me!!! TB did kno have knowledge about trucks before u start driving them????? I’m watching all ur videos back to back
Interesting. You USA folks spend a lot of time shifting weight and pins. Mostly I see your tandems very far forward. Here in Québec at least, if my axles are shorter than 41 feet, I'm not legal. I only catscale to weigh what the shipper put on. I never rescale. I do rescale for fun sometimes. But when I'm back hauling, I put my axles back to 41 feet when I hit the Canadian border. What do you think of supersingles?
Put some hair on there an i'd found it.. haha holy shit lost it there. Great stuff man very informative too I didn't know how those right weigh's worked before. Also not a trucker, but like watching your videos.
Just sharing, with Dryvan Paper Roll Loads, I pick up with half fuel tank, sometimes at the 3/4 Mark but no more. I have my 5th wheel slid forward, my weights are usually right under 12, 33, and 33.... these paper rolls are wide and tall for those who have not seen. Same for compressed paper pallets. Even Copying / photo paper sold for office , home use. I carried 1 a few weeks back. Paper means Heavy.. EVEN Intravenous Bags- like a waterbed or tanker.....I'll maintain the same amt of fuel throughout the trip.
You could try Swift Transportation. It won't be free per se, you have to work there for 2 years and then the cost is wash. You pay them the first year they pay you back the second year, at the end of which the cost of your schooling is a wash-out.
TRUCKER BROWN,,,, I WOULD SAY,, WITH YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT SET,,I WOULD SAY,,, WHEN YOU GET TOO THE CAT SCALES YOUR WEIGHT SHOULD BE:::: STEERS NO MORE-THAN 11500,,,,DRIVES AROUND 32000 AND TANDAMS NO MORE THAN 33000 MAX,,,,IF ADJUSTMENT AS NECESSARY,,,THAN MOVE REAR-TANDAMS FORWARD ABOUT (2) TWO HOLES I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD BE AOKAY WITH A SMOOTH AND DOT LEGAL RIDE UP HILLS AND DOWN HILLS!!!! THATS THE WAY I WOULD DO THEM!!!!!,,,OLD-SCHOOL-OTR-TRUCKER-GAME!!!!!! PEACE-OUT ENJOY YOUR RUN!!!!!!!!!
I'm not a fan of Rand McNally. They're not updated to current times. And situation where I missed a turn. It direct me to turn around he's in the Cloverleaf exit. Yeah it was not a clove Leaf anymore. And recently I've been on other roads has been in existence for least five years still not on the Rand McNally. The company supplies it. So no cost to me.

Need to make sure the truck and trailer are on level ground when you use pressures to balance your load. Great video keep up the great content

TB i’m not even a trucker but the way you explained it makes it seem simpler about adjusting your weight.

I find being proactive and spraying silicone spray on the locks work well.
Those scale never failed me at prime..42000 I usually go too the 10 or 12 hole..
cousindaddy 1 got to be careful about that bridge law being that far back can bite u 41 ft from kingpin

They always should give you a company card for the gas if you drive for a company that is.
Oh and the class A license covers every type of load B covers certain things then class C covers thing's under the B guide lines.

You been making videos that I can totally Identify with. Especially
The Dick Head Driver Manager vid love it! 07/18/18
I want to be a otr but I’m having a hard time finding a company that would train me to get my CDL A.
Uh..
Swift, Werner, C.R England, Schneider.
There is all kinds my guy. Get on Google and look some places up. Best of luck🤙

What do you think of supersingles?
do you have to help unload the truck or is it company policy not to? I ask because bad back.
Not 100% but I think the warehouse unloads the freight. Just back in and drop the load pick up the next one
… this dude knows his trade. CAn be a trainer...
Put some hair on there an i'd found it.. haha holy shit lost it there. Great stuff man very informative too I didn't know how those right weigh's worked before. Also not a trucker, but like watching your videos.

Grate video thanks for the information
Thanks pro I like this channel
U need that gage on your dash to be just above 50
Does that mean its balanced.
What happened to joining chasing andrew after big red broke down for like the 4th time?
Good vid tb .
Why would i pay to see a video when i can wait and watch it free on RUclips ..smart
What headset do you use?
Are you Jamaican? Or are you a southern man?
Use a cold hardware hex bolt style lock you wont have it freeze mine never has anyways plus you ain't getting into it with blow torch
Each hole on trailer i was told is 500 pounds .
it can be 500 if you have the long pins if you have the short its 250 just like the 5th wheel
Respec pon de video big man 💯🙏
Do you tb your killing it
