I preer dual bud spaced tires in the back anyday over super singles. But super singles are much better than they used to be, and as long as you keep them aired up properly they won't be a problem, however if they're low on air even just a little they will have a pretty good chance of blowing out. My dad worked for Flying J before they were Pilot Flying J and they had super singles there and those guy's wouldn't air them tires up and they'd just blow out left and right compared to the duals.

I'm just getting to go back over your older videos so forgive me if I start asking questions you have answered already. You said that you have a three year lease where after that three year's the Tractor is your's. You also said that Prime only likes to keep there tractors for three year's. Is that just company owned tractors or do they tell you they want you to trade in for something new again? Also I'm curious as to what Prime pays to someone like me? 20 yrs, Or do you have a video where you break down pay, benefits ETC........Thank's J.J
@JJtheTrucker3 жыл бұрын
Hey Joshua. They only keep their company trucks for 3 years. For a truck like mine that I purchase, I can go 4 years, then each additional year it needs to pass an inspection to keep going. So dor the pay and benefits, there are many options such as the division (Reefer, tanker or flatbed) and whether you're company, lease or owber/op, or with your own authority. Details can be found at www.driveforprime.com with a good breakdown.

JJ that isn’t just a truck, it should be your pride and joy.if would have had that 33 years ago I’d still be turning wheels!! But I have a question. Back in the day it was a known fact that sliding the 5th wheel all the way back would make trucks ride significantly better.I don’t hear that mentioned anymore. And yes I know the axels have to scale out so sometimes you can’t slide back so much.
@JJtheTrucker3 жыл бұрын
I haven't heard that about the ride it I had to slide it forward because the way the air hoses are set up, I broke the electric plug while turning because it was too far back. So I moved it forward to give the lines more slack.
@russellstrom82343 жыл бұрын
I guess moving the trailer back reduces aerodynamics but 30+ years ago that wasn’t really thought about. Old trailers were usually spring ride and when the trailer tires hit bumps it would actually jerk the truck up and down, this was called “ trailer slap”.sliding the 5th wheel would mostly just make the ass end of the truck jerk improving ride for the driver.

Thanks Alex, but of course I needed Lyle. He's a good friend and I have a ton of respect for him. It's also good to have guests on every once in awhile to appear in my videos, don't you think? 😁

Congrats! I just picked up my truck yesterday (Wednesday). I was so fortunate, they had 4 brand new Peterbilts ready to go! I snagged a blue one. Spent all day getting it ready. Hopefully I'll get on my first load tomorrow. I hate I missed ya at Springfield. Safe travels!
