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…..?
@@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 😎
Excellent advice!!! Thank you very much🙏🏻😊
The $4,300.00 month truck payment. OUCH!!!
@@nobull4414 We all gotta start somewhere…
@@Peruviantrucker That's a BIG nut! Are you lease or lease purchase?
@@nobull4414 WHAT AINT NO WAY IN HELL NOT EVEN FOR A NEW PETERBUILT
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.
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.
Thank you for your words😊!
Many blessings to this messenger 🙏. I like the fact I can watch and learn.
"Never let anyone have control of your emotions that dont have their legs wrapped around your neck"
Wasn't that Winston Churchill?
Congratulations!!!! Enjoy your new truck and be safe out there.
this was me 10yrs ago.. stick with it man! stay safe and good things will happen!
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!
Haha! Thank you so much 😊. I really REALLY want to take your word on that last statement😜🤣😇.
Except for the 20+ year OTR veterans who actually understand this Buisness- then he had better take notice ( hopefully )
@@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 )?
@@kenburkard lmao it worked out great for me cupcake I own 10 trucks and been doing it 25 years on my own.so try again lol.
Congratulations! I thought to mention that I just came back from Peru 👍
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.
Get a cb for your new truck it keep you out of pileups. Once installed keep it on to where if it starts going nuts you can turn it up to listen.
I've been driving for 21 years and I've never driven a new truck. Congratulations on your new truck/home.
Thank you so much!!!
That means someone else ate the down time getting the new truck fixed.
@@nobull4414 I don’t understand your comment…
@@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.
EXACTLY!!!!! I drove for 16 years and have never gotten a new truck!!!!
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.
Looks great. Congratulations on the new truck.
Congratulations on your new truck awesome job you got this 👍🏾
Good luck with your new truck and GOD BLESS you always 👍😎
Good luck and i wish you the best on your new truck.
You will do great , just stay positive and don’t sweat the small stuff. Happy trails!
Nice. One of this days my slaving will pay off. Congrats stay safe out there. San Diego, California
Nice setup. Congratulations. I wish you much success and safe road trips.
i can see you have a lot of potential on RUclips i suggest if you want to do both do trucking and RUclips get a go pro and maybe watch justtruckin because you do seem like you could do both and people would be more than happy to watch and get behind u just trying to help you but enjoy the trucking
Good luck and drive safe on your new truck
If it's not too late, don't use that TV mount. You won't be happy with it and your TV just swings around. Check out some videos other people have posted. It's real easy to mount the TV to the window frame without adding any additional holes. It's a much better place for the TV. Also even if you have it installed at the detail shop they still charge you for the holes when you turn the truck in.
Edit: I added this comment before I finished watching the whole video, obviously.
I used the TV mount and I haven't had a single issue. It's been up since July of 18 .
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.
Looks great. I’m jealous
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!!🌅🌅🌅
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😉
Just a Suggestion: You should invest into a Dynamic Microphone to reduce the sound of your truck.
It would increase the overall quality of your videos/video production.
I have one. Just annoying to set it up😅. I will use it in the future 😉
Congratulations brother be safe out here and have fun.
You could put a rubber mat in front of your bed area, so if it got dirty, you can wipe it down.
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.
Good luck hope all goes well from a trucker in UK to you stay safe .
Swiffer Wet Jet or the Swiffer wet pads/wipes mop works great for the cleaning of the floors
Nice Truck brother. Congratulations.
Automatic not my thing but hey, I'm happy for you I hope you are very successful with Prime.
Power to you my brother I hope you make it 30 years like I've been at it good luck best wishes
You should never lay a refrigerator on its side or on its back or on its front, it messes up the refrigerant
No negative comments here just love :). Beautiful truck. Stay positive:). Have a great day. No haters allowed lol.
She's a beautiful rig.
I hope you stood that refrigerator up and let it sit for 24 hours before you plug it in otherwise you'll damage that compressor.
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
The people with the negative comments are jealous you just ignore them
Perhaps some???
Others, might be experienced and they know what they are talking about . Maybe that they are sorry for the guy. 🤔
Very neat👍 Five wordssss I absolutely positively despise.... "A New Message Has Arrived"😡 Be Safe Driver 👋
Looks like the new truck are nice on the inside and spacious,my personal wish is that there would be more manuals because for me that's where the fun is in trucking or some of it
I love driving manual. But when it comes to Semi-trucks, I prefer automatic. One less thing to worry😬🤷🏻♂️
@@Peruviantrucker I can see that
I've got a question for all of you drivers that use a leaf blower to clean out the back of your trailer. How do you pick up all of the trash and nails or do you just leave it on the ground for everyone else?
Push broom. 👍
I bet he'll be wearing flip flops at the shippers and receivers too. It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to avoid doing even the simplest of tasks like sweeping out a trailer. A leaf blower, LMFAO!!!
Personally, I use a leaf blower to get it out of the trailer. Then I use a large broom to sweep everything into a pile and I have 13 gal trash bags to pick everything up and put it in the dumpster. If there’s not one I’ll carry it in the truck until I find one.
Congratulations have many safe travels in all your days.
I wish u good luck brother, one-day that's my dream to👍
I like the flat floor between the sleeper and the cab, which brand of truck , thanks Kevin
All the best.
Get seat covers I ruined mine getting in and out of the truck but I remember the day I got it it had that smell of new congrats and good wishes in your new rig
Are you a owner operator? Does prime give brand new trucks to new drivers 😯?
Get some interior cleaner and micro fiber towels from Griots Garage
Congratulations man!!!
@No Bull It's only gonna hurt him if he stops working. He should be able to pull at least $6-7k per week, no maintenance, and new trucks are better on fuel. Hopefully he has an APU or auxiliary battery.
I wouldn’t plug that fridge in after laying on side it won’t last . You have to stand it up for a day or so before plugging it in
That truck is the same color as my Chevy Silverado
where did you by the platform for the refrigerator and the straps .. how was it mounted to the floor ?
Did you do it, or had a mechanic at the shop do it ?
The platform and the straps came with the truck. Just set the fridge on top and strapped it down
On the fridge go to Walmart and get baby locks to keep doors closed.
i did🤦🏻♂️!
I bought them, and returned them😪
God bless you ❤🎉
Enjoy your ride
Great video editing brother and great truck driver 👍🏻
Congratulations on your new truck 🏆
Great looking truck and a positive attitude to match. And only 21 miles? Super cool. Stay safe and start stacking up the mile$.
Cool 😎👍
Be glad you didn't buy from Lowe's once go out the door if you have a problem with the it's yours oh and good luck trying to get someone on the phone, you go man and be safe
Here's a piece od advice ,don't buy anything at i80 truck stop ,everthing there is more expensive there than regular pilots ,loves or even ta,or petro
I hope you didn't turn that refrigerator on right away because you should never lay a refrigerator down
New truck have fun with all thr bugs that are in the truck front windshield will leak at times the top marker lights leak as well since the gaskets are not fully sealed the design of the top is the reason that was the 2019 cascadia truck i had at SRT since they would not let me use my k100E because that truck is better than the newer garbage today just my opinion but hey congrats on the new truck just use caution wilt automatics you should have waited till you went to I80 or petro ta for the proper fridge that has the chord for the outlet
I've been driving for 7.5 years now. The last thing in the world I would do is lease, or even buy, a truck. I spent too much time out there on the road babysitting other people's trucks for me to enjoy having to do it with my own. I haul fuel now. Make great money. I work on autopilot. I'm in my own bed every night. You CAN have a normal life while being a truck driver. What they pay OTR drivers these days should be a criminal act.
U said a mouth full
Congrad !!! Drive a million miles and you will make a million dollar 🤣😂🤣🤣
See if they'll turn that hunk of junk up to 66 so you can get the hell out of the left and right lane
I can ask, but I don’t see how 1 mph more will create a lane that doesn’t exist…
I rather do 65 and be able to park in the right lane while everyone passes by than do 66 and have to be swerving in and out of lanes…
66? Turn it up to 72, so you don't take 10 miles trying to pass a 65 mph truck that is stronger pulling than yours, lose what you gain on every incline.
I'm surprised they don't detail the truck for you when you buy a brand new truck from them.
Sweet truck 🤲🏽
Jonathan Grice is the best fleet manager at Prime if he still works there
Wow! Looks very nice!
Good luck to you!!
That's nice, focus, go to work.
Great job bro congratulations I can’t wait to get my own truck but want to make sure I make the right move with the right company. How good is prime bro?
It's so amazing sensation watching this. Congratulations 🎊
Tienes muchas suerte amigo
A donde tu trabajo con tu nuevo camion ??? USA O CANADA ???
The monthy payment goes up with every sticker he peels off
You do realize that you are basically buying prime a brand new truck at your expense, according to your lease they can sell that truck out from underneath of you at any time and you have zero equity. Don’t ever lease a truck from a trucking company. Been there done that gotten the T-shirt. The vast majority of the time your truck either breaks down and is beyond repair before the end of the lease and they force you to lease a new truck from them with a new term, therefore never allowing you to actually own your own equipment.
Good luck bro 👍
I hear those leasing a truck is a setup, how's it working out for u so far?
Very nice u done a very good job
How long from when you started with the driving mentor till you went solo? Also do most companies allow a rider to go with?
Forget about the negative comments from haters bro.
I remember my days at Prime. Learned a lot but couldn't wait to get the hell out of there after a year. O/O now for the last 8 years. Best decision I ever made. Finally got my pretty 389 last year. It costs an arm and a leg but I enjoy it. Don't get sucked into that lease scam shit at Prime. It's a joke and that truck will never be yours. Don't ever pay for a note or fuel for a truck that's not in your name.
I totally agree
Looks great 👍
What brand of microwave did you get? I'm in a 21 cascadia and wasn't able to find anything small enough to fit except a retro galvanz.
He said it was a Black and Decker, not sure which model though.
Those trucks sip fuel if u drive right. 👍
Brand new truck in 2022...SHEEEEEEZ! Someone should have mentored him better.
Refrigerator should never lay on thier sides... the oil runs out and burn them up
What do you use to get tv channels in different areas? Beautiful Truck. 👊👍
You can put the TV on the window if you want.
It is alot of negative out there with that..can you make it leasing YES you can i did it as a tool..and now i have my own carrier authority with paid off equipment...is it hard work leasing absolutely in this market now..but with strategy all things are possible leasing is NOT for everyone because everyone don't understand the fundamentals..let alone understanding lanes and freight routes and what it actually cost to run a truck per mile....which is things I talk about on my channel..keep that determination youll be fine.. if i can offer one piece of advice remember the truck is a tool to make a living ..figure out what you want out of trucking and use your tool to get there..best wishes. from allaboutsemis
Congratulations
You forgot to buy a mailbox.😉
…..cause you will be living in that truck in order to pay the note , brother
No bro, if I get a mailbox then they can send me the bill😜
@@Peruviantrucker that was my point. I wish you good luck, but……
Are you Peruvian ?
A new truck with omnitracs installed? Good luck with that.
how did you mount your fridge?
The truck came with a platform and two adjustable straps to secure in place
Good Luck
