Never let anyone have control of your emotions that dont have their legs wrapped around your neck. Lol and dont worry man your gonna be fine and your already starting from a new rig I know plenty still never sat in one. I like that your humble and you still feel the need to teach us what it might be like starting a career in trucking. May you be blessed with long safe journey on the road and always back home for family.
If you are the only one that will be sleeping in the truck you can remove and store the top mattress at home and use all that top bunk space for storage. Be sure to purchase a pack of extra gladhand seals. It would not hurt to have a pack of extra fuses and an extra pair of headlight bulbs handy and when you get back to Florida make yourself a basic tool set to keep on board. Another item I never guessed I would need is a set of bolt cutters....believe it or not.....and a good hammer.
@@freep2s A bulb out is an equipment violation, driving with high beams is a moving violation that effects your CSA score. Think things through before you do them.
Congratulations from a 37 year otr driver. Never stop learning, never be afraid to ask questions and never let someone talk you into doing anything you're not comfortable with. Truck it safe brother 😎
Good luck dude. Remember, you are one of a very few who carry the country. Be proud, be vigilant with your maintenance and never be afraid to ask for help. After 40+ yrs in trucking it makes me happy that there's still young people who still want an adventure. Truck on. 🤟😎👍🚛🚛🚛
Congratulations Prime was the first trucking company I drove for so after I got my CDL’s, I had a flash back watching you get your truck together. Remember to Put all the checks in the box and be safe.
Dude you remind me alot of myself with the cleaning of the truck and how you seem really organized! It's nothing better then a clean workspace and living in the case of a trucker. Hygiene and safety goes a long ways towards being able to really enjoy the benefits of being a truck driver. I just got a new company truck, which is a 2023 Freightliner Cascadia. It's nice on the inside but similar to the previous model but I love it. Safe travels!!
Lol I remember when I was naive and thought I could keep my truck perfectly clean. Until your first trip to a meat plant that is all mud because of pouring rain. I keep it as clean as I can but it gets tough in the winter for sure.
Hello. I'm here a month late. I had a very similar fridge in my Cascadia with my last company, and the first thing I learned was to get baby fridge locks for the fridge doors. Every so often a bump or something will cause the doors to swing open. I had a fridge that had some sort of clip that helped hold the doors shut, but the constant vibrations caused them to break. So I put fridge locks on both doors. I put the "strap" side on the door and the "lock" on the side of the fridge. This made it so they didn't curve into the fridge so they were not an inconvenience. Saying that this was posted a month ago, you may have found a solution or not even have a problem, but figured I would share. Hope everything is going well for you out there and good luck driver.
Nice job on the truck good luck on your first load don’t worry about it you’ll be fine just remember what you were taught and use your judgment and instincts
Good luck bud. This was me 6 years ago. Bought a 94 kenworth, but i put a driver in it. Still have the ol girl and the same driver. Be safe on the road. There's lots of crazies out there 🙏
Ray A! I want to do this in 2 years or less. I want to buy a truck and hire a driver. Do you still see decent profits after you pay your driver? My idea is to get a good dispatcher to keep me running. Hopefully, the rates will be way up by the time I start.
Congratulations 🎊 to you. Let me say you have brought back so many great memories of. Prime INC. I truly loved working with Prime. They helped me out more than words can explain. If you work hard you will make it. Keep up the great work. Keep up the faith. Always Prime INC. Driver Edward Earl Smith.
Prime isn't the best company to work for go to YRC freight it's a Teamsters union company and what makes Prime is a okay company is if you get a good trainer and they take time to train you some what well I left Prime because of false advertising back in 2019 and in 2020 they got hit with a class action lawsuit so don't believe everything they tell you
Good job on your new career, from a old man, you will do great! Don’t listen to the negative crap, people who are negative still lives in their moms basement!
@@kenburkard ya right there the last to take advice from.he needs to do what works for him and not listen to the know it alls that really don't know anything.
@@jerrywilcox9890 so, people who have run a successful business/career should be the last people to advise him on anything? How’s that working for you ( the NOT listening part )?
Nothing like a brand new truck….. just found your channel hit the subscribe button let’s see where the journey takes us……. Just got off the road myself good luck in your travels and enjoy every minute it’s all worth it and forget the negative you be you!
I feel you bro my company just gave me my 1st brand new truck ever it only had 76 miles on it. I ve got about 3,200 on it now I love it more torque digital dash buttons on the wheel 2023 T-680
That's for everyone human in USA getting all the brand new peel slowly back all new mobile's. Appreciate it very much you might sell them in the USA sorry just have not seen one yet until now Thanks 🙏👍
@@Peruviantrucker All OTR trucks except for the 389 and W900 are built for fleets. They are assembled, shipped, and testing occurs at the receiving dealer or trucking company. The first driver has the headaches in getting the truck fixed. The 389 and W900 don't leave the factory until all issues are corrected.
Cuz, I’m coming to prime on the week of 8/8 to start my training. Stay strong and don’t think about the negative comments you receive on your channel. God bless
Dont do it. $6.00 fuel is coming. I know a guy that leased a truck from Prime. When the courts went over his financials to determine his child support for a baby he fathered the judge told him he needed to get a different job. There's a reason they lease to inexperienced drivers.
A normal “box store” mini-fridge isn’t set up to handle road vibrations, and the copper tubing on the compressor will eventually snap. My first fridge lasted me about 3 months. I took it back and exchanged it, and the second one lasted about a month. I put some high density foam mats under the base of the third one and got about a year out of it. I eventually upgraded to a truck with a built in unit.
I picked up some great music from some street musicians Music of the Andes. These guys were from Peru. Good stuff. Congratulations on your new truck and remember to laugh and have fun while your working. Have many happy miles and God speed.
My first time to see ya bud. Now a sub and look forward to your journey. Nevermind the haters, they will alwbe there. Learn from those that teach and enjoy the road. Vaya con Dios. !!!
Congrats on your new truck, it’s the best way to buying any truck , I did it to and it’s feels great brother, keep up the good work and work hard to finish paying off this beutyfull truck, drive safe
Thank you! But I didn’t buy that one. That one is a lease. The lease purchase program was not available yet. Prime’s Lease Purchase program is back and I’m finally ordering MY truck soon😉
ITs a big step to go and buy a new truck! I believe in you and you can make it happen! Business is business no emotions involved. Handle your business the way it needs to be handled and your going to do great!
It's not his it's a lease purchase not until the truck is paid off 🙄 and with the price of gas not the best move at this time I worked for Prime in 2019 I left because of false advertising
Take it from me the best way to clean the vinyl flooring in the truck is the swifter wet. I do the vinyl part of my floors once a week. Stays clean. I take my shoes off when I get in to my truck other than the floor mat at the drivers seat.
Happy trucking brother 👌 may you're rig give you luck , make you safe & run's a plenty. have you thought of wraparound bull/city bars ?? piece of piss to fit & stops cracking the fairing 👍
I got a new Cascadia in February. It has 70,000 miles on it and have had zero issues. We did remove one of the suspension leveling valves on the tandems.
They started putting a left and a right on the the tractor to compensate for the road crown. They end up emptying one side or the others air bags. Nice idea that didn’t work.
I really liked the video. I wish you success in your career as a professional driver. Well, what I can recommend is not to walk with shoes in the part of the bunker because you bring everything you step on outside the truck, then try to maintain it every time. time to the filters of the air conditioning inside and outside the cabin, maintaining hygiene is part of our health !!!
Floor tips and Vinil cleaning tips. The swiffer wet jet pads work great on the floor and buy u some rebel cleaner for your dash and cabinets and after u use the swiffer wet jet pads spray some rebel cleaner on the floors and wipe them down works great. U don’t need the actual swiffer mop just use the wet jet pads like u would a regular rag
I don't know how this video came up to me but I feel sorry about your decision. I'm still net $ 7500 weekly even in a bad market in my paid off old 2005 Kenworth but you would be working 5 years for free. Good luck. Enjoy your new truck
HELLO friend, congrats, on your new truck, wishing you the best by the way just in case you didn't know, there used to be that, you would it have to install a power unit for your electronics back there, things may have changed it may already be integrated, anyway GOOD LUCK BE SAFE OUTTHERE BLESSINGS!!🌅🌅🌅
Wish we had something like prime over in Canada I would jump on board for sure OTR. Always dreamed of having my own truck and it would be a stepping stone to owning my own.
Used to lease at prime back in the 80s-early 90s,was a good co then although a much smaller co than it is now. The first co I was ever at that I didn’t have to worry about making my truck payment. The only think was I pulled a flatbed trailer and was always on the east coast.that’s why I left ,but I did pay for my western star while there and made petty good money to the house.
Congratulations great achievement! I wish you continued success and safe travels! Nice truck, I confess I'm a little jealous. My last truck was a 2001 Freightliner Classic XL, no APU, no GPS, and a flip phone. Gary [ Drifter ] Retired December 2006😎
Thank you for the congrats!!! Hats off to you!!! The job is essentially the same, but we have so many great tools nowadays! I’m sure I could get used to working under the conditions you did. But it sounds so intimidating compared to the aids I have at my disposal now. What can I say… I’m spoiled😜😇
Or just go with the flow. Whatever dirt is urs. After years and years of driving u have no clue what u got in there untill u take it all out 😁 put urself a 3000 inverter to ur battery's and enjoy the pleasure ride
It’s something about sleeping and living in a semi that always loved! Many people may ask a trucker, “how in the heck can you sleep in such a confined space?!“ and the answer to that would be, “no response!” Because we can’t really explain it! It’s a sense of security and peace
Hello brother! Congrats on your new adventure.. Been driving since 2014, and having my permits and my own trucks since 2016. Now its suck with the rates, but just be smart on how to spend your money, you not just a truck driver now, you r also a bussiness man. I did leave in fl 12 years ago when I came from Cuba. Living 8n Texas now and love it. Was too hard to save money in Fl. Saludos y pa alante!!!
A couple of suggestions 1. Go to Walmart and buy memory foam bath mats, and secure them down using 3M Command strips. Gives you some cushion, and certainly cheaper than anything at a truck stop 2. While at Walmart, but some child safety appliance straps. Use them on your refrigerator/freezer, to keep the doors from flying open. 3. Also, you should get some “no-slip” drawer liner, and cut it to fit the top of your refrigerator. Personally, I would strap the microwave on top of the fridge, with that liner in between. That would save you some storage space in that cabinet.
Dam new subscriber here just wanted to say congratulations 👏🎉 with your new truck 👍🏾 you always have haters I know it's hard to ignore this may be seeing you and putting out your good videos 👍

If you are the only one that will be sleeping in the truck you can remove and store the top mattress at home and use all that top bunk space for storage. Be sure to purchase a pack of extra gladhand seals. It would not hurt to have a pack of extra fuses and an extra pair of headlight bulbs handy and when you get back to Florida make yourself a basic tool set to keep on board. Another item I never guessed I would need is a set of bolt cutters....believe it or not.....and a good hammer.
This ^^^^ I ran out of headlight bulbs and drove 15 minutes with my high beams to avoid getting pulled over for my low beams being out lol
@@freep2s I've done that too.
I got the glad hand seals this morning. Yeah, basically my roadside tool bag for my wagon Is going in the truck. Plus the hammer😜.
@@terrybane6206 why tf do truckers have to maintain it unless you’re an owner operator sure but working under a company…..?

1. Go to Walmart and buy memory foam bath mats, and secure them down using 3M Command strips. Gives you some cushion, and certainly cheaper than anything at a truck stop
2. While at Walmart, but some child safety appliance straps. Use them on your refrigerator/freezer, to keep the doors from flying open.
3. Also, you should get some “no-slip” drawer liner, and cut it to fit the top of your refrigerator. Personally, I would strap the microwave on top of the fridge, with that liner in between. That would save you some storage space in that cabinet.
