Prime Inc Trucking The Real & The Fake: Unloading 46,000 lb Tanker

[@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 😊🤙🙏

[@yessie46]

I’m at Prime now and I used your driver code on my application. Thanks for all of the awesome videos and advice!

[@danzilla3223]

Was at that tyson two weeks ago, read the reviews, so I went to sleep. Called me an hour later saying my load was ready. Of course, I slept through the phone call 😂 I was rushing to Minnesota, get there, and I'm a day early for delivery 😅

[@cliffgarretson6168]

Rex, I watch every video and I have to say, you’re definitely helping me make my mind up about going into trucking. Thank you for all of the awesome advice and information!! Keep ‘em coming!

[@christrella3134]

I used to go to a place in Brooklyn NY that had a scale incorporated into the dock. And it was setup for tankers and flatbed trailers as well as the dry vans we brought to them. It was pretty cool because I could step out of the truck and onto the dock without climbing down 😂. I always wear boots or at least shoes for safety reasons. Some places won't let you outta the truck with anything else on your feet. Truck on young man!

Hey Rex, I been watching your videos for about a month now that I discovered you at work, last few days I been watching them over again on my laptop so I can like the ones I seen since I'm not logged in at work. I'm all caught up now and wanted to say great work and I love your vids! Very informative and fun! You've made me think of going regional and getting out of the city life. Keep on truckin and thanks for all the hard work you put in for these vids and driving! Can't wait for the next video :D

[@kimberlyroque4888]

Hi Rex! Wonderful look forward to them every week. Thank you awesome video you do great job everytime wish they were longer. Waiting patiently for a live. Lol have a great week

[@Marbo5252]

Cool video Rex! Can't wait for the next video!

[@chaseyoufaster21]

You should get a boot dryer for your truck for when your shoes get soaked. Works great for rain and snow. Love the channel, keep them videos coming!

[@truckingwithrex]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Cody27Boyd]

Rex will definitely get back with you and give you all the info he knows or point you in the right direction. Thank you Rex for responding to my email. Keep trucking and stay safe!!!

[@brianjirish]

How to send your Abacus documents through the Prime app was very helpful! Thanks!!!!!!!! Btw, that silver Peterbilt parked out front of East STL Quala was me😊 Be safe Rex!

[@truckingwithrex]

You too bro! 💪🤙✌️

[@tjclark3224]

What’s the training like for tanker. I have my tankers hazmat double and triples. All I have is just local driving for a co-op.

[@iamfriendswithmissa]

i love your long videos i am really into watching trucker as i have a disabilty and dont get to travel far due to my handicap so i love watching videos of you driving and seeing the highway but could u maybe show more of the driving please if the videos get over 50 mins i dont mind that as long as it dont take u longer to edit i dont want your job to be harder

[@margadanks4528]

Rex I always did 😅my hubbys laundry

[@rodleithner7931]

Rex I have to ask are you feeling the freight pinch in the tanker div? Also is the Prime tanker div. slimming down their fleet?

[@truckingwithrex]

Yes freight is a little light, being told things are going to pick up soon. Prime slimmed down the reefer division but not tanker 🤙✌️prime is being selective on who they hire!

[@iShokan]

Rex with a another one!

[@jamesburns2753]

Question sir, Drove for Prime about 5 years ago on the Food Grade Tanker side. Left Prime due to several family issues. Still have my CDL A, tanker and hazmat endorsements as well as my twic card. Running solo in my life now. Would like to come back to Prime and continue on the tanker side. Can you suggest someone to contact. Thank you in advance. Peace.

Get you some puppy potty pads to use for those leaks works way better

[@ImPlague]

It's odd seeing someone finally drive in my neck of the woods. Be careful if your ever on 41 though alot of bad drivers out here paying no attention especially on i69 especially if you go all the way up into henderson.

[@stevec8861]

So after delivery, tank wash place also cleans and drys inside of dirty hose after delivery?

[@robertmoses9128]

They use a dryer on the tank, but not the hoses.

[@donaldamelung1786]

Is there a maximum age to obtain a cdl from prime?

[@truckingwithrex]

Nope

[@Alex-bt5oc]

Is advocate CPA only for truckers, and do they do all of the states in the United States

[@truckingwithrex]

No they do all taxes and any state also! 🤙✌️

[@waynewhiddon8748]

Do the hoses in the trailer ever get cleaned, or are they used for the same thing everytime?

[@robertmoses9128]

They are washed along with the trailer when it’s washed

[@raymondsimpson4171]

Need you reach out to another prime tankers he's going some bad times trucking with j Jay hope you you can help him out

[@mahlz24]

Would like to switch to tanker but some people told me that Tanker might be removed from Prime. I still want to switch divisions At least I could get experience out of it. Do Prime allow drivers to switch divisions during these hard times? And if so, would I undergo training? Specifically do you know if training with a trainer is an option? It would be preferred since I’m new to the trucking industry. Been lease op for 5 months by the way.

[@truckingwithrex]

Haven’t heard prime pulling the plug on the tanker division 🤔 if and when you switch they will have you go to (Tanker Boot Camp) it’s on Thursday and Friday up the street from Springfield terminal at our tank wash. They show you how to hook up the hoses and pump off

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

I miss tanker

[@NeoAcario]

I think my current record is 46,120 lbs of boom boom juice. One and only time I was over 79k (79,4-79,5). Was actually a hair over on drives with full tanks. Are there any restrictions on your vehicle that you're leasing.. like a governed speed? I don't think I've ever passed a prime truck that wasn't going in the 63-67mph range. My carrier has us at 70pedal and 72 cruise. Congrats on super trucker status.. driving in slides!

[@truckingwithrex]

Lease drivers at govern at 65mph floor and cruise. We slow 😂

[@BuckInchuteranch1]

Just found your channel. I’m curious, do your tankers ever get surge and how is it controlling it with an automatic? I drive a 7K gal smooth bore vacuum trailer that empties midship, we pump grease traps, but I can only put 6K gal and be 80K lbs. That creates one helluva surge😂😂. I will only drive manuals.

[@truckingwithrex]

No issues with an automatic and surge imho! Surge does slap if I slam on the brakes or jerk the wheel lol but I’m pretty smooth with now

[@BuckInchuteranch1]

@@truckingwithrex gotcha, was always wondering because of the lack of controlling shift timing. 1st time I didn’t think about that I went for 6th, on a 10spd, and the surge smacked the back of the trailer and I was going back to 2nd 😂 😛

[@Ra-dy3fq]

Rex have the loads been slow for you lately? Like where your only getting 1 load a week? I’m curious because I’m thinking of coming to tanker but I don’t wanna go if I’m not gonna make any money

[@truckingwithrex]

It has slowed down but not to 1 load a week. I’m getting 2 a week!

[@osvaldo554]

Wear workboots . And your feet will never get wet.

[@laughingwolf8711]

That claim is not exactly true, if the boots are drenched you will have wet feet!

[@AndyB718]

Workboots for driving an otr trailer is a bit overkill and leads to festations on the feet.

[@stevencherry3890]

Can you get triple and double with prime???

[@johngra203]

Where are those work boots you wrote off ??😂

[@truckingwithrex]

😂 at home, didn’t do me any good there 😂

Do you have a hazmat endorsement, or just tankers.?

[@iMatti00]

How does setting up an LLC protect you? I’m obviously not a lawyer, but I do know a little about LLCs. Usually it only protects you from lawsuits including lawsuits if you have debt that you can’t repay. But most companies require you to also personally guarantee you will pay any expenses unless your company has some kind of assets or significant income for a couple years. Other than that, an LLC can protect an operation in case one of the drivers gets into an accident then you can’t sue the owner, but as far as I know if you’re the driver you can be sued in your personal capacity because you were the actual driver, so an LLC wouldn’t help you then. At least as far as I know. Is there some other reason it’s good to have it though? Or is it one of those that are the reason you set up an LLC?

[@truckingwithrex]

For me my LLC protects me from credit card companies trying to sue me. Hypothetically speaking let’s say I owe 50K in credit card debts, student loans etc. they can sue me personally but not my business. My LLC didn’t open those credit cards or student loans. So me keeping all my funds inside my LLC protects me in this way.

[@iMatti00]

@@truckingwithrex- Oh yeah, gotcha. I didn’t think about it from the reverse direction. Thanks.
