Massive Tanker Trailer Damage.. DON'T DO THIS! (Prime Inc Trucking)

[@truckingwithrex]

If your thinking of coming to Prime Inc or want to get your CDL license. I honestly believe Prime is a solid company to start your trucking journey. Make sure when you fill out the online application @ www.primeinc.com put my driver code STREXA on page 2 of the application when it ask who referred you. Thanks for watching my video! 🙂💯

Hie how can isend you a private message ??I need to find out about something

[@JayPoster490]

You are a really good person Rex. Thank you for your vlogs. Very helpful and good entertainment.

[@lmao7183]

Another way to prevent your trailer brakes from freezing up is to not set your trailer brakes. Some say to wait about 30 minutes for them to dry out before reseting the brakes. Also bleeding your air tanks can help prevent your brake lines from freezing as well.

[@MikeDCWeld]

That's also a good way to prevent people from messing with the emergency air line while you're on your break.

[@xxxkush3370]

Got my CDL 3 weeks ago Just completed orientation at Salt Lake City terminal yesterday! i used Driver code strexa!! Can’t wait to start trucking!

You are the first prime driver I’ve ever seen use their 4 ways properly. Good job. Most turn them on as soon as they hit a shipper/receiver and NEVER turn their headlights off at night. 4 ways are for backing up or breaking down, not going 3 mph in a parking lot full of trucks.

[@truckingwithrex]

Agreed and thank you 🙏 I’m not perfect but definitely learning from my mistakes 🤞🙌💯

[@malikdigger4544]

Steering wheel spinners are super useful. Helps out a ton for backing

[@Marbo5252]

Another cool video Rex! 👍 The person who had that trailer must of gotten fired

[@truckingwithrex]

Yep I definitely think so, Prime will probably use this trailer for parts I’m guessing. Unless an insurance claim would cover the cost of repairs. Hate to pay that deductible 😂

Those spinning knobs, suicide knobs aren't DOT Kosher. Some states they're outright illegal.

Rex your videos are shot so well! I need to know what software you use for your intro! It’s awesome!

[@truckingwithrex]

I used Final Cut Pro and Motion for my intro. Bought sound track from audio jungle. My basic video editing is done through iMovie

Rubbing alcohol with water in a spray bottle will break freezing drums.

[@truckingwithrex]

Yes keep the tips coming, much appreciated! 🙌

[@christrella3134]

I think it was rubbed against a wall, metal post, etc etc. Because of the tires being flat. Broke the beads and tore up the side of the trailer

[@michaelmitchell9023]

I've seen many collapsed tankers,they've always wound up in a "V" position,thant one looks like it was run off the road.

[@truckingwithrex]

I understand exactly what your saying.. Tankers i've seen in person roll over ALL had fender damage, so basic science and geometry suggest this wasn't rolled over. weak spot inside of the tank collapsed 1st which was the right side of the trailer. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmitchell9023]

You are correct,I don't know geometry but yes fenders should be destroyed

[@michaeldec698]

That trailer was in a snow bank on its side..cmon man unvented trlrs don't have flats..did u see all the gouges in the stainless skin?

[@JS-dm2tz]

Love all your content. I have a few questions of the program at prime. What’s the typical home time of leasing and are there new trucks available for the tanker division?

[@truckingwithrex]

I appreciate that! I’m usually out 10-14 days then home for 2. Have had a month straight I was home every weekend just depends

[@jovangrbic97]

what is digest?

[@truckingwithrex]

Basically it’s all the unused fat and meat from processing plants like Tyson, they grind it into a liquid and add vitamins etc.. This is then sprayed on the dried kibble dog food for smell, flavor and taste so dogs eat the grains. Hope I explained this correctly!

[@semiretired6033]

If you want to avoid frozen trailer brakes don't apply them. Just apply tractor bakes.

[@truckingwithrex]

Agreed! Can’t avoid it if you got a small air leak lol

[@bigdad98]

Question how you get your trip sheet. Do day deliver to your house?

[@truckingwithrex]

You get those at any prime terminal coming inbound or leaving outbound

[@garry3013]

A penny makes a good tire tread depth gage in a pinch. Turn it so Abe's head is at bottom. Place in tread. If you can visibly see top of his head. Your tire needs replaced. It's below the ⅛ inch DOT requirement.

[@truckingwithrex]

Appreciate the tip! 🤞🙏

True, driver clipped the curb bringing the trailer back to Springfield

4:32 far as I know “suicide knobs” are illegal. My company strictly prohibits them, a couple of drivers got caught with them on road inspections and almost lost their job!

[@truckingwithrex]

Oh snap, and I decided NOT to get one because your not the 1st person to tell me this. I don’t EVER wanna be doing anything or have anything on my truck that is illegal 🤞🙏

[@patrickcarcamo622]

Cut a corner too short. Hit the curb or other obstacle and dumped it in the ditch. Hence the flat tires on the same side.

[@truckingwithrex]

Nope it wasn’t rolled no fender damage

[@paulkreiss4709]

Rex, I'm just curious. What does a tank of chicken fat weight?

How is your net fuel cost looking? Current, 4 week and 8 week? Have you noticed much difference between your Pete and freightliner? Thanks for the videos and info. Be safe.

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

That place will check the temp and the hose is short

[@williamkiser5611]

Exactly why prime level drivers should not be pulling tankers. And for god sakes no hazmat. And you don’t always need to vent when pumping off, sometimes air hose is hooked up to help pump. In that scenario dome would stay sealed

[@Truckingwithglenn]

Sapp bros is my favorite

[@tylermorrow2846]

If he didn't vent the Dom, would there be damage on both sides and not just on one side that looked like he layed it over the metal? It was all scrapped up like it slid on the road.??

[@truckingwithrex]

The weakest point inside of the tank collapsed which was the right side

[@liamhenry8164]

The spinner is called a Necker Knob.

[@MrJuniorLaws]

That’s the imploded meaning they didn’t vent it when it was getting pumped off

[@truckingwithrex]

Yep exactly and thanks for watching! 👀👌💯

[@BEARDELIVERS]

Don't get one of those suicide knobs if your not handicapped; they are illegal in a lot of states!

That’s good information to know, thanks for sharing 👍

And why do you unplug the Internet box? Why not just leave it plugged up?

[@truckingwithrex]

I could leave it plugged in. When I had my Pete the box fell a few times when the tanker surge hit. So I had to replace the box which isn’t convenient being a trucker so I decided to unplug it when I’m rolling. I could find a better spot to secure it to and leave it plugged in 🤔
