Anything I can fix myself to save me time sitting in a shop hours that cost me money bc I’m in a shop not driving I do myself. I keep extra things like mud flaps.. lights… glad hands an air horse to fill tires if they get low pressure and I have lots of tools. No you not getting ahead of yourself that’s why it’s good you went company drive first because you get to learn what you need to learn without losing money and getting frustrated learning it bc you went lease to soon and too fast

You 100% didn’t watch the video. I said I will learn how to fix trucks that way when I buy my truck in the future i can fix simple problems. Also at prime, if something is wrong with the truck and you as the driver can fix it, prime will pay you money to fix it. For example changing an air filter which is easy to do, prime will pay you to change it. I wouldn’t go ahead and do me mechanical work on the truck without prime’s knowledge. But to check the oil level and coolant levels, that’s my job as the driver to check for problems.

Lease drivers can fix their truck if they want to. They are the ones paying for it, so if they want a mechanic from their house to fix it, no problem. Or they can use prime to fix it.

You still don’t understand what I said, just gas lighting the situation talking about ok go fix the truck you sorry you said anything. 😂 like I said if the reefer battery needs jumping and you have jumper cable prime will pay you to jump the battery. Obviously you won’t be doing mechanical jobs like fix an engine problem, prime will pay you for changing an air filter which is basically using a screw driver. But to answer you again, I said I want to learn how to fix truck for when I buy my own. I will watch videos, not pulling apart primes truck.

bro, you're a company driver. don't work for free. if its maintenance for the truck let prime pay a shop to do it. unless they can't get you in for a day or two. don't feel obligated to spend your own time/money to fix their equipment. prime will pay you to fix things I believe. being lease drivers we get paid to do things like hang chutes or small things that we can fix. but don't be doing things and just not informing them that you're doing it. being an OTR driver they already have you the entire 24 hours in a day, don't let them take advantage of you when you think you're doing them a favor. in the end its business, if you allow them to walk over you, they will continue doing it. you have to set boundaries and if you let them run you into the ground, they'll do it. there's nothing wrong with being a hard worker. but that's how people burn out and quit. just pace yourself and don't work like your dispatcher will remember you. you're just a truck number to them

Prime can get road assist to come fix their truck within an hour. I don’t have to touch primes equipment. Also if it’s a simple problem I can fix, I can go ahead and fix it myself and prime will pay me for fixing it. This video is about me learning to fix trucks in order to fix my own trucks in the future when I buy them. I will never work on primes truck without them knowing. Opening the apu door and check the oil level and coolant level is basic pre trip inspection. If prime truck needs work I call road assist. 😃💪🏾

My intention is honestly to own my trucking company and give it a Jamaican plus Hawaiian name because I'm Jamaican and my wife is from Hawaii. Thank God I learned mechanics from in the 1990s in Golden spring st Andrew at Mr bell (aka bengeh ) garage. Mr romain your thinking good sir. This can be good for you if you know what your doing and plan wisely. I saw an Indian trucker in Goodyear Arizona recently with a flag from India flowing side to side on the back of the trailer recently on the freeway and it looks so dham good and I thought of doing the same on any trailer I'm hauling too. I know there is a lot of Jamaicans driving otr semi trucks here in America but don't wave the jamaican flag.. that's so bad. Every one of the vehicles I own here in America alway have a jamaican flag or a sticker on them. Many times I go places and people go crazy when they see my flag or sticker. Especially in Arkansas.

@romane i appreciate the mention big dawg 👍🏿 just drivers networking tgats what this is all about. I think i gotta game plan for you so you can get what you want n not compromise going to a lightweight truck. If you're comfortable enough can your dispatcher set you up on a trailer with multiple stops? I guarantee you thats the meat and potatoes of where the money is at rather than running one load all the way to California. Give it a shot if you're ready ✌🏿

They let any and everybody influence their decision on what they should do instead of thinking logical about this trucking shit ! I wasted so much time listening to ppl man , u just gotta let them make they own mistakes . In the beginning it aint about the money , its about experience. Idc whether u lease or drive company these checks will fluctuate . They think their experiences will be the comments experiences and that just aint true. All i can do is pray for these dudes🙏🏾
