[@Thestrongestmufasa]

I have been asking and begging my fleet manager and the driver development manager for a class on trip planning. They always tell me to call with my questions, but I don't know what questions to even ask. I'm looking for a whole class on how to trip plan. Videos like this are exactly what I'm talking about examples of what I don't know that I don't know. Figuring how long the trip will take and then comparing that with my 70-hour clock as a first step that's exactly the kind of thing that I don't know, that now I do know because you said it, but I wouldn't have known before watching this video to ask about.

[@truckerdamnyankee]

I enjoy your videos. You're a very talented young lady. Very smart and determined. You give young girls inspiration to get into our Industry. Godbless and godspeed, you're doing a great job!

I like your easy going style. I enjoy your videos very much. New subscriber. Keep up the good work.

[@Shadownian]

With fuel...going out west....what I would have done is fuel up at the start then every once in a while fill up along the way and keep a full or close to full tank. Because you start out at the lowest price. Then it gets more and more as you go west. So instead of losing most of your fuel and then paying top dollar to fill back up out west...your fueling along the way and getting a slightly higher price. Then a bit further a slightly higher price. Keeping your tank full. That way you spend as little as possible and arent forced to buy 90-120 plus gallons at the extreme high end of fuel cost. Just my thought.

[@JavonPen]

Like how you teach keep up the great work...❤

[@cliffharris322]

[@joannanderson5429]

Slimepack I like how well you stick to your budget, and you are very knowledgeable about job. You take pride in your work and that's why you enjoy it. You display your skills very well. May I ask how long have you been driving? If I was a beginning trucker, I would gladly jot a few of your tips in my notebook.🤗Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@tc3354]

Slime you’re a original frfr. It’s like you’ve been driving for years 👍🏾

[@MasonRuns02]

I love the videos, I'm wanting to get into driving when I retire from the Air Force. What made you decide OTR vs other options?

[@marlinda6851]

The question was not directed at me but I'm going to answer it anyway! Truck driving for an older person is a great career choice because you have accumulated life experience that will serve you well in this business. As a military person the disciple you bring will be a great asset because running efficiently, being on time, and taking care of the equipment are essential and it translate into increase revenue, and being older in not a stigma attached to truck driving, on the contrary, I'm 61 years myself and having the time of my life driving a truck, earning a great living and doing something something essential for our country, I hope you join us.

Keep up the good work I'm proud of you for being a good friend

[@entarajreeze9015]

Great job on the blind side backing 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

[@marlinda6851]

Blind side backing should be avoided, ALWAYS! It's not worth the time, effort and risk of hitting something, shouldn't be done unless it is the ONLY option and it rarely is.

[@dskains]

Thought you said near the beginning that you wanted to do tankers? Can you say how much the payments are on the Pete? Are those Lease/OP trucks govern to 65 also?

[@marlinda6851]

Thr payment on a Peterbilt or any other truck except a Volvo is roughly $1,200/week, the more important number is your "fixed" Weekly costs at Prime which is roughly $2,300/week...and the truck are governed at 65mph

[@tysmooth646]

Does prime have inward facing cameras now?

[@racheligutierrez9917]

Enjoy your trip that you take us along

[@blackbuddha9997]

Video request: what are your top 5 or 10 trucking apps what are the best for? ❤

[@marlinda6851]

You don't really need "other apps" when you drive for prime, their app and the support network cover pretty much everything you need.

[@dreseabrooks]

Have you seen your trainer since you completed TNT?

[@rickylewis4701]

Do you have a camera on your mirror on the outside of your truck

Can you be a lease operator using a LLC?

[@Slimepack392]

Yes

[@marlinda6851]

You are required to run the truck under an LLC.

[@leonardwilliams225]

Great job 👍🏾

[@johnhammond7407]

What kind of interest do you use

[@RemarioCohen]

hello I'm from Jamaica how can I get to drive one of those truck

[@curtiserecacho1401]

Call prime inc talk with a recruiter.

[@lovedawnlynn]

Are you considering training for Prime??

[@ml3truckinginc..816]

The revenue that Prime posts, is that before or after they take their 18%?

[@thingserik7269]

Half silk, half cotton, half linen

[@MrMarcelousewiley]

Is it better to work for the company or your own self?

[@marlinda6851]

I think the question answers itself...I think the more important question is could you go work for yourself if you wanted to? The answer is yes, but I wouldn't do it, the business is too complicated to jump into it with no knowledge, you are almost guaranteed to fail. I thought about it but the path that I chose was to train with a company that trained me for free (right! FREE doesn't exist) as long as I worked for them for two years, hopefully in those two years you will learn more about the industry, prove that you are a safe driver, a savvy business person, a good risk that insurance companies are willing to insure and then you will have more information to ask the original question.

[@Trippin777]

Can make a video explaining how recaps work

[@ChrisMoore-rd7ct]

Get your on duty time back on the 8th day

[@eprohoda]

howdy?. so superb , 🤝

[@bobbymcdonald9070]

Does prime allow drivers to pull double trailers

[@marlinda6851]

No

[@avatarrapture8486]

Wait. I don’t understand why you’re paying for fuel for the trailer. You’re not leasing the trailer. The trailer is owned by Prime. So shouldn’t they pay for the fuel?

[@nobull4414]

If you ask intelligent questions the entire Prime leasing falls apart.

[@AM0908]

Its like when you rent a car. Got to come back with a certain amount of fuel in it. Its free the first couple hours so you can start it off full

[@marlinda6851]

What does it matter? It's like the people who complain for "driving too long to,pock up the load", i.e. "deadhead", again...what does it matter? What really matters is how much are you making after paying for EVERYTHING! and believe you me, there are a lot of expenses in trucking...let me give you an example: Last week I hauled $8,400 worth of freight and the deposit in my bank account was average, roughly $3,500...you might say "that's less than half", yes it is but the important question is "AM I satisfied with it"? I am. That's roughly $180,000/year. Do you think I worry about 100 bucks on reefer fuel?🤣🤣

You are my favourite ❤

[@LionelSmith-wg9sz]

Blind backing.dont do it.

[@dnett6917]

Bad content turn truck in

[@marlinda6851]

What are your qualifications to make that statement? Show me yours and I'll show you mine... This video just came on my feed and I don't see anything worth a negative comment, she's doing fine with the experience she's got, in fact I'd say she's well above average!

[@blackbeast4735]

Is that the actual revenue for the load or an estimate? I did loads for prime when I was leased to Advance Trucking and I received those messages and Advanced said that prime pays an estimate from that amount. Is this accurate?

[@marlinda6851]

The estimate is the actual payment 90% plus, of the time, sometimes it may differ by a couple of hundred dollars but it makes little difference. The real question should be "how often do you get a $3.00/mile or more load at Prime? Not very often...a more normal load at Prime ranges from $1.00-2.00/mile with $2.00 being "a really good load". I got my start at Prime and I have no complaints, in fact it is a fantastic company to start your career, they take really good care of you but being such a big company they have to cater to the lowest common denominator in terms of dispatching, meaning they have to give enough time to inexperienced drivers, disorganized drivers and those who run slow time to deliver their load, but if you have an entrepreneurial mentality eventually you have to move on like I did and then $3.00/mile or more, loads become the rule rather Than the exception, but it comes with more responsibilities. Overall OTR truck driving is a great career, especially in the current economic environment. At Prime the lease operator can expect a take home check averaging $1,600-$2,00/week, is you have a business mentality and take charge if your operation you can do $2,500/week, that was my average, now I am working for a tiny fleet of 12 trucks where I now the owner personally and he can taylor my loads to accommodate my way of driving so my average has gone up to $3,500/week but you have to run a tight ship and there's no one holding your hand so you have to make sure your truck and trailer are running optimally all the time because no one is coming to the rescue if something goes wrong but it's worth is and very satisfying...and profitable.
