Hey, John. I haven't been keeping up with much youtube lately. Glad to see you're still doing well.
Great video. Love the break downs. You forgot to mention beard expenses!!! I wish I could have a legendary beard. Stay safe driver!
Are you a Trainer? Going to Springfield MO April 10th 2023 with Prime tanker division.
Sorry, I'm not
Thanks buddy, great info for perspective lease drivers like myself. I truly appreciate your time and openness about your business.
interesting John, enjoyed your explanation.
John, on average how many nights per week (or per month) do you spend at home versus sleeping in your truck? It seems that a tanker driver living close to your terminal can get one to one and a half days off a week (presumably spending that time at home). Is it fair to say a driver can make more OTR being a road warrior but will not be home nearly as much as tanker drivers are? Quality of life is an often overlooked factor for many people looking into trucking. Also, Is there an advantage to doing a lease-purchase where you can get a truck paid for, or does Prime require their trucks to be so new that you’d only be able to use a paid-off truck for a few months before it would “age out” and require you to get a new truck? Thanks!
I slept in my truck a total of 3 times in 2020. I would say that is a result of two things; first, the fact that I have been doing this for almost 6 years now, and secondly, that getting home is my top priority. I definitely slept in my truck more often in the past. I also have said that I could make more money if getting home wasn't my top priority. Finally, as long as you keep your truck in good working condition, it won't "age out." After a certain time frame, it is simply subject to yearly inspection in order to stay with Prime. We just had a guy with an 8+ year old truck running my dedicated, but he finally decided to move on and quit.
Do they do the tanker training
Ayup
Just out of curiosity, out of the total 30% you take out for taxes. At the end of the year about how much do you have remaining? I’m assuming that the total you owe doesn’t come out to a full 30% and you take that much out to be on the safe side. I was figuring if you made a total of $129k and you made 71% of that you would end up about $92k and if you calculate 30% of that taken out over a year it’s about $27k. So I was wondering about how much if that $27k you get to pocket after taxes are paid. (Assuming my math is close to accurate lol)
I hope you are doing well, Sir. Can you answer two questions? Ballpark gross weekly pay for eastern US tanker? Any idea if Prime is putting on new tanker drivers? I want to start PSP in February 2021.
The answer to your first question depends on company or lease and how often you expect to be home. And Prime is always hiring.
@@JohnOgren Sorry John, I was referring to Prime tanker division; company driver.
@@garyhussell6610 company drivers average around 2500 miles a week at 52¢ per mile, so that's $1300 a week. Obviously, that's an average and not a guarantee nor a minimum or maximum
@@JohnOgren Thank You Sir! Just know that your videos are very, very helpful to us researching a trucking career!!
I appreciate you remaking the video
Was that average of 1262 a week after you took out the 30% for taxes or before? I don't think I caught that in the video.
Before
@@JohnOgren Thank you
Mr. Ogren, do you know any Prime tanker East Coast, or Northeast drivers that would be willing to answer a few questions??
I actually don't know any at the moment. Sorry
@@JohnOgren Thank you for your prompt reply.
im in north Florida does prime now hire in south east? I see they have two tanker divisions now
Prime is hiring out of Florida, but I don't believe they will for tanker. Check with a recruiter on your specific location
How is leasing with fuel prices like they are? In your opinion is it worth it atm or would it be better to wait and hope they go down?
Sorry for the delay in responding. Higher fuel prices are largely irrelevant with the fuel surcharge program.
@@JohnOgren ok thanks, just arrived for orientation today!
I live in Western WV. Is there tanker traffic Lanes through there.
I think that would be an okay area but not the best. Talk with recruiting
😎
👍😉
Any Shipping lanes in fl?
No
Ty so much for posting these. I am lookin at leasing to purchase with prime.
I will caution that lease purchase is different from what I do. Good luck to you
@@JohnOgren i didnt think there was alot of difference between the two. Wasnt sure if lease to purchase still gets the mileage bonus tho.
@@dopeymomasboy no milage charge, no tire fund, different percentage pay. I'd talk with Success Leasing to clarify the differences
@@JohnOgren ok ty so much sir.
Too much paperwork..... is the difference from company vs lease better?
Less paperwork for company
