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 🙂🤙💯

I love how the haters say prime is a scam. Your brand new to the industry, got your cdl at prime, got paid training, and are in route to make $100,000 your first year solo. The average master's degree holders starting salary is $69,900/yr. And that's after they spend 5 1/2 to 6 years in school. In 3-4 months your on the way to an upper middle class income. Good on you. Keep up hard work.

[@TRUCKINREVIEWS]

Um, you have it completely wrong his truck will make 100,000. The truck makes the money for the first 5 yrs I have 20 plus yrs in this business and been there done that

[@TRUCKINREVIEWS]

The problem is these drivers become free advertisement for these mega carriers and they don't get it or see it

[@joehilton9208]

@@TRUCKINREVIEWS Prime lease drivers are averaging $85K to $100K+ per year after all expenses but before taxes. The trucks are averaging $220K to $250K annual revenue. Whatever your experiences are, thats what the drivers are averaging, depending on how they run, how long they stay out, etc.

[@TRUCKINREVIEWS]

@Joe Hilton you forgot to take uncle Sam's cut now they just make what a company driver makes after that

[@joehilton9208]

@@TRUCKINREVIEWS Yep, EVERYBODY pays taxes. My point is a brand new driver who goes to prime can be trained in 3 to 4 months, upgrade to a lease or lease purchase and make upper middle class income with only 3 to 4 months of training versus 4 to 7 years for a bachelors or a masters degree. Plus if they go lease purchase they can own the truck outright in either 3 or 4 years. All while making above average income. It's a good deal.

[@tedhill7017]

I drove a mid roof cascadia and I absolutely loved that truck. No issues at all with it. Pulled dry bulk tanks with it.

[@jamesfeldman7669]

Congratulations on your new truck and the company showing you the love all you have to do is represent well for the company. Arrrre you up for the task soldier.

That's a nice looking truck...hope it drives as good as it looks. Stay safe out there on the road. Liked and subscribed. 😎👍

[@scubajoe3321]

Freightliner has to be one of the most popular trucks on the road for a reason

[@BrandonBalderas]

#ooooooohyeah Awesome truck man Congratulations

[@johnnysosa]

Congratulations driver the new truck looks cool... keep sharing your videos, I really like them... God bless

[@truckingwithrex]

I appreciate that 🙌💯👊

[@rodleithner7931]

Outstanding job specs on you truck. The only thing I would have added was an outside faring over the front glass. I even like the color. well done Sir.

[@tammayragan1959]

Really nice truck! Love watching your videos! My nephew is a fleet manager for Prime in Springfield Missouri!

[@truckingwithrex]

Thank you 🙌💯

[@shawndale8313]

Rex you made a good choice bro. Every truck has issues when you first get it. But the fact the fuel economy is better in FL is the winner. The ride on them ant that bad nether. Yes the Pete is smooth an a little more room but at the end of the day you can take that truck anywhere an get it worked on and won’t be having as long down times.

[@phillipcleveland5207]

I really like the truck. I wish you nothing but good luck with it.

[@chriscantu1784]

Man more n more ur making me bck with prime lol nice trk

You forgot the tray table in between the two cabinets the slim middle pice pulls out and becomes a tray

[@truckingwithrex]

I didn’t even know that, I checked and was like whaaaaaaat!? 😂 very nice!!! Appreciate that 👊

[@littlegravity7812]

Hey guys I’m about to do the cdl permit was it difficult? And also how’s the process with prime do you have to pay out of pocket

[@392JT]

Let’s go another video

[@pkcp2055]

Damn nice truck.

[@austinbarber9901]

Do you pick your truck at prime or do they assign one and that’s just how it is?

[@Mr.Uninteresting]

You got a really cool truck 🤘🏻it’s a smart move to be in a freightliner the ease of getting it fixed or doing it yourself is manageable. The ride isn’t that bad when I was in training I was in freightliners, western stars, Mack’s and a kenworth, and I’m currently driving a international. The ride of a freightliner isn’t the best but it also isn’t as horrible like the internationals 😂 so far the worst truck I’ve been in.

[@truckingwithrex]

Lol I drove an international for 1 day during training and know what you mean 😂😂😂

[@ComicJoker]

What size mini fridge can you fit in the truck

[@captain.john.]

Very nice

[@patrickorourke152]

Nice

[@mariojohnson1226]

The digital dash on Peterbilts were recalled

[@biomedicalbalance6411]

Great advertising. Drive safe!

[@brianjirish]

Awesome truck Rex! A couple quick questions for you. 1) Did you do a standard or purchase lease? 2) How long did it take to finish your TNT? About 3-4 months? Good trainer or not. I know that 50,000 miles anit easy Thanks for the videos and sharing your experiences with us. It really gives folks an inside look at everthing a trucker goes through. Not just all the goodie good stuff. Stay safe out there. Keep on, keepin on bro.

[@savage_kd8815]

He did lease

[@brianjirish]

@@savage_kd8815 Both options are leases? Or am I missing something? I'm pretty sure Rex went with a Purchase lease but I figure I go ahead and ask the man himself.

[@truckingwithrex]

I went with a standard walk away lease, because I don’t have 14K laying around.

[@truckingwithrex]

Took me 3 months for my tnt training, tanker only requires 30K miles

[@brianjirish]

​@@truckingwithrex Oh k, gotcha. 👍

[@danielnelson8428]

that’s a nice truck

[@johnperkins6295]

I’m sure that truck is gonna do you very well. I see a lot of the other Prime guys saying how much they like the Odyssey mattress. Are you gonna get one of them?

[@truckingwithrex]

Personally like the standard (free ones) lol, I’m not dropping 700$ on a mattress for my truck 😂

[@truckingjourneys]

A good company that pays well, to a company driver with experience. Can make the same

[@JD-dw1dr]

What’s the weight on these ?

[@tollboothjimmytrucking.]

All new 2023 prime trucks come with a 2000 way inverter

[@9erner]

👍👍👍👍

[@eastcoastmanz4212]

When leasing with prime inc can you choose any truck brand or they have a certain list. For example I want Mack anthem

[@truckingwithrex]

No Mack’s at prime, it’s Peterbilt, International, Freightliner an now seeing prime test out Volvo

[@thedesertshark165]

Your truck is so amazing love your videos and what is that song called because my bro loves it (lol)and he would love it in his collection of KZbin songs

[@truckingwithrex]

I appreciate that 💯 song is called soulicious by dyalla

[@thedesertshark165]

Thx a lot

[@carlospena6149]

Does prime hire out of Florida

[@SannarClaus]

Very interesting that you traded a 579 in for a Cascadia… I drove a 2019 Cascadia because I got my 579 and it was terrible

That ant bad at all thanks

[@ameurchaabi9007]

What is the name of the music?

[@stephenkamau8848]

Excuseme sir ...I have a question do u consider a space while choosing a truck plzzz let know on your feed back plzzz

[@truckingwithrex]

Truck space is considered when choosing a semi truck just like the height of your truck, mid roof trucks are shorter than a full size so it can go under lower bridges. So a lot of things are taking into consideration

[@pogveteranar9415]

Do you happen to know if the mid roof Pete has a top bunk?

[@truckingwithrex]

The one I’ve seen had a top bunk just like my Freightliner

[@pogveteranar9415]

@@truckingwithrex Thank you

[@franklinbrandon5283]

I love those mid roofs

[@uncleenore]

God, how I hate those super singles on the drive axles...

[@michaelmitchell9023]

Did you have a choice of manufacturer?

[@truckingwithrex]

Yes you can order a Pete, freightliner or international

[@Mrnotnice24]

If you had the choice between this midroof freightliner and Pete which would you prefer?

[@truckingwithrex]

I prefer the Peterbilt, has everything, more modern, smooth ride, has nice clean crisp bass. BUT that Paccar MX-13 engine gave me problems. A lot of breakdowns. My Freightliner has a DD15 engine no major issues so far.

[@Mrnotnice24]

@@truckingwithrex how often were you in the shop?

[@truckingwithrex]

@@Mrnotnice24 truck had 13K when I started my lease turned it in with about 90K miles was in the shop for 26-28days total. Turbo blew that alone was a special order part from Peterbilt 2 weeks in the shop. Passenger led headlight went out, light special order down 7 days. Electrical shortage behind the dash down 4-5days. They can only be worked on by a Peterbilt shop seemed everything was special order. So I switched to a freightliner and I’m making more dough because I’m not breaking down. Also freightliner has a larger network and parts availability so less downtime.

[@Mrnotnice24]

@@truckingwithrex I work out of the Pittston terminal and we have a dedicated Peterbilt mobile guy there on Wednesdays so I’m wondering if its worth it lol

[@truckingwithrex]

@@Mrnotnice24 same thing at Springfield terminal and my truck was still down all that time for parts. Also power steering hose started leaking that was another 2 days. And they charged me $200 for the hose clamp 😮 I would’ve just changed it myself. I thought it was under warranty. Mobile mechanic said I over filled the power steering fluid. I never added anything to it! That’s just my experience maybe your will be better 🤞

[@glackaglack1534]

What's the average weekly payments for these lease trucks ?

[@truckingwithrex]

$900-$1200 weekly

[@diljotshoker1]

peterbilt has to look at it because it has a paccar engine if cummins then they'd let you go to any dealer in they system

[@californiahauler6561]

Make sure that when you install your CB radio you will need to add CB antennas to your mirrors because the Cox cable on the freightliner trucks do not work bro

Agree 💯

Why in the heck would anyone pay top dollar for a less than basic truck? I have seen better equip cardboard boxes! You newbie keep drinking the Kool aid and prime will stay in business. It's sad see you people in them slow trucks. You guys look tired as heck in the right lane . I feel bad for you guys I didn't realize you were driving a sweatshop. The sleepers look more like jail cells . I guess you gotta start somewhere but dang they putting a hurt on you greenhorns

[@mikehiggins5233]

[@NotchNate]

Anymore these days Freightliner is where it’s at. All Peterbilt has going for it is name recognition…
