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 like your views on your family. I don't have any kids but someone once told me a man's job is to Provide, Protect and Sacrifice for his family. If you can do that your making the world a better place.

I pulled an asphalt tanker for a few years and I really liked it but man was it an unhealthy lifestyle. We ran hard, only stopping to unload and reload and sometimes we got to sleep for a few hours, but that was years ago. Y'all have it really good now, not being pushed to run. I pull flatbed now and have for several years and I enjoy it. I do miss the tanker yankin' though.

Waiting for free is a major disadvantage, the company is looking for the best load to haul, more for them and more for the driver. Not getting cleaned on the down time also sucks, it is what it is. All the best to you and your family.

how's the working hours on tanker? Are they mostly daytime pick-up and drops or all hours like reefer?
@truckingwithrex2 жыл бұрын
Mostly daytime hours 7am-6pm, some shippers and receivers are 24hrs but it's not like reefer.

You mentioned in another video about maybe getting the connectors so you could do both food grade and inedible so you could get more loads. Did they ok that?

Hey...just FYI...the ABS light on only means the anti-locking brake system isn't working. However, it does not affect your braking and is no safety issue. At worse, I would just write it up so a shop can repair the problem at a later date. Hope that helps and saves you time in the future!

Not very much, only bobtailing after i drop off a dirty trailer in Springfield and pick up loaded in Aurora, MO or Verona MO which is an hour away.

Don't you have to do a trailer drop and pickup notice to Prime when leaving or picking up a trailer someplace. If so then it should say in their system that a trailer has been picked up so you dont have to look for a non existing trailer at your last drop. Just curious, this would be very helpful to drivers.

Yes correct but i wasn't notified someone grabbed my trailer the receiver called said your trailer is empty and someone else grabbed it

@@truckingwithrex sounds like a hiccup in the system. Whoever drops the trailer, the system should show them still connected to it technically unless they are assigned a new trailer or have to leave the trailer to pickup a different trailer for some other reason.
