You did fine with that blindside backing. Some drivers just back up and pray they succeed, but you did it the safe way and no damage done. 😊👍🏽 Let’s see that cat 🐈 you have riding on the road, please. Safe travels. 🏍🇺🇸🎒

[@cynthiaholt691]

The KZbin algorithm strikes again. Now i'm watching all of your videos. 😂

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Thank you I really appreciate it

[@gregorydonaldson6238]

That's how local drivers reserve spots.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I didn’t even think about that 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I really appreciate it bro. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos

[@Thomas20Smith]

That car parked at that Mickey Ds Truck Parking spot is 9/10 a local driver(maybe OTR and lives in town) and parks personal vehicle there and whenever they come back, moves the car and puts the truck in the spot.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I didn’t even think about that

[@gmrite22]

They definitely live close and leave the car hold they spot for the truck. Messed up but can't be mad at them. Good job on the blind side

[@joshuaryantrucking7396]

You inspire me sooo much bro💪 keep up the trust.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I’m glad I can help bro. Are you planning on becoming a truck driver?

[@d.hepburn995]

Long video but totally worth the time, looking forward to your next one.

[@oouu-nq1mv]

Love your videos, I’m currently local working for a food delivery company, and I’m miserable here, everything is unorganized and equipment barely works,wanna get my tanker endorsement and go regional or OTR. Videos like this motivate to do it. Keep it up the great work brotha and stay safe out there

[@crissiejuarez1851]

The whole county hears it when I back under a loaded tank… I make sure that sucker is hooked!!! 😂😂😂

[@VezOnTheRoad]

😂

[@blkcobra03]

Blindside backing is always tough with a sleeper. No getting around that. At least you got out the truck to assess the situation. I'v seen them back up until they HIT something

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I definitely don’t want to be that guy

[@The_Reefer_Driver]

been to that mcdonalds in Cartersville, ga a few times

[@nathanielambriz2677]

Great video keep up the good work and be safe out there 🙏🙏🙏

[@robertweber8363]

Not good at blind side backing? Lol! Did you get it in the spot? Did you hit anything? Nope! Then you good! You got out you looked the most important part!

[@Davionmikel]

Other than blindside backing you could’ve used the space you had to turnaround and get a regular back

[@American_2]

Content is good! Keep it going. Please keep the Time-lapse in especially if you're gonna go into a big city or something.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Good idea

[@TruckerDB4828]

You should plan to park in rest areas or weigh stations if you can always easy parking especially in the weigh stations.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

It’s pretty tough trying to find a spot at a rest area at night. They fill up really quick

[@Rayzer2368]

Nine times out of ten you see a car parked there because they are a local driver and park their truck there when home then when they go to work they pull their truck out and park their car their to hold their spot when they get done for the day.

[@shoey64]

Always wear footwear in truck stop showers. Don't forget your wash out ticket. 🤣 very good with the blind side. Always get out and look you did it perfect.

[@hxhcgcbdjjdnxnx]

I thought tanker was hauling to gas stations? What position are you? I like this better!!! Good job!!!

[@xhxman]

Good content bro !! Going to take my permit Wednesday, looking forward to coming to prime soon ! (Flatbed)

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Thank you. You got this bro

[@TheTourettesTrucker]

Absolutelycheck your 5th wheel lock. Too many people are pulling peoples pins nowa days just to mess with a company. I always give a tug test each day as well.

[@nandodreadlocks5821]

I love it Bros

[@missnikkibabi3694]

Good job nephew

[@Skipppp8705]

You got a like from me, keep that grind

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I appreciate it thank you

[@gecko2000405]

Who cares if you're not that great at the blindside parking? I think every trucker can understand and appreciate somebody at night making sure it's safe to back up.

[@jimmytraylor]

What's up bro I'm really been thinking on getting into the food grade division just trying to find out if it's hard and if prime a good company to start with? I mean I haven't got CDL'S yet but know a little about trucking already because I come from family of drivers

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Thank you

[@Spade_hndrixxx]

Did you get trained to do all them steps you did getting your delivery ready?

[@eharris6347]

Good videos brother ! How often do you take breaks Like to stretch Would it be every few hours? How about bathroom breaks how does that work ? How much stuff do you bring with you such as suits of clothes and such ?

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Thank you. When I stop to us the bathroom I’ll stretch then. Also on my 30 minute break. You can just find a bathroom to us whenever need be. I’ll bring enough clothes for about a week or 2 and just wash them

[@eharris6347]

That’s cool 😎 I was thinking about driving Still not sure was just trying to get a little info and watching your vids seems helpful I just wasn’t sure on the schedule I would think you would take a break every 3 or 4 hours to stretch to try stay fresh

[@tristanmartinez2667]

Once you have been in the middle of the desert in summertime on the steel deck of a trailer in the 130 degree weather in full combat gear with the heat from the exhaust of a turbine engine of an Abraham tank blowing on you then you can talk about pain.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I feel you man

[@johnwolf1475]

do you get paid for sitting with tanker? and is teh pay any good?

[@johnwolf1475]

you could have pulled in and backed out and then come in the easy way

[@Jaksur_Trucker]

Im at Fuji now 😂

[@dimannski1125]

Hello! Your company working only lokal?

[@johnnydoe9969]

How long they give you to shower ? And Do I need my hazmat and tanker endorsements b4 I apply to prime or will they train me to get it ?

[@VezOnTheRoad]

The showers aren’t timed. You will need your permit and tanker endorsement. Prime doesn’t haul hazard materials, so you want need your hazmat.

[@MidnightOracle8]

💚

[@EricAlexander5]

Do a in cab tour.?

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Good idea

[@shoey64]

Do the hoses ever get cleaned out when you get a wash out?

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Yup, everytime

[@cliffordwilson8070]

colab with big rig beccca!

[@ccavalier10]

Silly question: if somebody pulls your release handle how do you fix that? Can you just push it back in or do u have to back under it again?

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Good question: I would assume you would have to back up on it so the locking jaws would go around the kingpin.

[@ccavalier10]

@@VezOnTheRoad that’s kinda what I was thinking too. Thanks man keep up the great vids!

[@bossmantrey850]

Do you need to have a hazardous endorsement for the loads you carry?

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Nah. I haul food grade products

[@mqmoreno2368]

Any advice on how to get into tankers with no experience i called prime and they rejected me because i have no tanker experience and every hazmat/tanker company seems to ask for experience in the tankers field kind of hard to get a chance to learn the tankers job with nobody is able to give you a shot at it

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I’m not sure bro. I got my experience through prime. Try another major company. See if they will train you and get your foot in the door that way. Keep doing your research and calling around I’m sure someone will give you a chance.

[@JamesJohnson-oc4re]

[@stevo6891]

Did you have to do a heart rate physical with Prime on tanker division

[@VezOnTheRoad]

I had to get a DOT physical from my doctor. It’s honestly just a regular physical

[@stevo6891]

@@VezOnTheRoad Schneider makes you do a heart rate test, got to carry weights, it’s very in depth

[@Midnightrider1963]

Do you ever have to wash or clean out your hoses like you do the tank ?

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Yeah, they clean everything

Im pretty sure they do. I think your truck has to be up to date. You can give them a call for info

Prime get Diamond status with loves free showers

My status reset every month. It really depends on how many gallons I get from them.

[@danielgkorecki]

Any one who is messing with king pin relise handle deserves good beating. When you park, apply your trailer brakes, push forward like you do tug test and apply truck tuck parking break this should keep your Kung pin tight and it's a lot harder to pull on that handle.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

Good advice thank you

I hope that wasn't some heavy duty toxic shit that will eat through that plastic glove. Taking that sample by hand? They better come up with better equipment.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

It’s not toxic it’s palm oil but I do agree they need something else other than a small plastic bottle.

[@danielgkorecki]

@@VezOnTheRoad if they ever have you haul toxic stuff make sure to have proper equipment and know what to do when you get exposed to a product. I have seen videos when people are pulling some corrosive chemicals handling theme without respirators and talking how bad the feel while being next to. They forget that with in few years it will affect their health if they don't take care of themselves today.

[@VezOnTheRoad]

@@danielgkorecki I only haul food grade products
