Cool Video Rex! Im glad you didn't have to wait for the weekend to be over to get your paperwork! Enjoy the new house as well! Cant wait for the next video!

[@danielabernathy6123]

Just got in the truck with my trainer today, can’t wait to get trucking. Rex, awesome video as always, hope to see you out on the road someday. If you hear a Stevens Transport truck honking at ya randomly, that’ll be me.

[@joeprocopio494]

Damb Rex!! Those drivers tear those trailers up boya!! Its great you take care of things with the issues of the trailers you pick up with problems!! You a good man be safe bud.

[@christrella3134]

Corn stalks. Not trees. Yup, guessing they didn't grow much corn in Arizona. At least the part you're from! Always fix those flaps if you can. I've seen you do it before. Some eyedrops really burn! Crazy! Carry on young man! Safe travels and God bless you and your family.

[@pimpy_og9128]

Rex I know you don’t see them anymore. None of us truckers can. But coming from that era rotos show me a strong sign of green clouds back in your youth. 😜 ☁️💨 That smile gave me a good laugh much love brother

[@Cdirty429]

Yes!!!

[@devinmiller7600]

Great vid brother🫡 I got back to Springfield yesterday after finishing tnt with my reefer trainer. Getting dispatched out tomorrow with my tanker trainer. Are the inedible trailers we haul different than the food grade trailers? I noticed the some of them don’t have the box opening on the back.

[@truckingwithrex]

Good stuff! The trailers that don’t have the box in the back are usually Milky Way trailers or older trailers with non working pumps. So when I’m pulling one of these I know my next load isn’t a load I gotta pump. Food grade your pumping every load pretty much! Hope this helps 🤙✌️

[@devinmiller7600]

@@truckingwithrex gotcha, I wasn’t sure if prime bought Milky Way or something bc I saw one of these same types of trailers by inbound/outbound in front of the plaza yesterday, except it had prime on it. I’ve never really seen a Milky Way trailer at Springfield unless they keep them elsewhere besides the terminal. Thanks man!

[@Thee-AmateurAn94]

Pink patch from Home Depot does a good job with small holes in drywall, for bigger repairs you can get a sheet of necessary size and do what’s called a California patch. These are the easiest repairs for someone with limited experience, congrats on the new pad brotha 💪🏽

I’d love if you did a video comparing your experience with the peterbilt vs the freight liner, and what you love and hate on both.

[@truckingwithrex]

I’ll work on this!

[@bobbystokes9269]

I just graduated CDL school but Prime requires at least 3 months experience. Which company would you recommend as a starter company? I have offers from Swift, Bison and Roehl

[@truckingwithrex]

@@bobbystokes9269 I’d go with Roehl or Bison me personally I’d go to Roehl

[@alberthill6025]

I got the basic. I did it for few months. If go through tanker boot camp,do I still have to go out with a trainer?

[@jeffsutton950]

If you don’t have tank experience yes absolutely

[@johnsadventures6783]

I always kept a mudflap under my mattress.

[@defunkymonky]

They talked about the platinum status at loves. I believe the last safety meeting or the one before that.

[@jonathonhuntley9671]

Did you ever find out what the engine light was all about? Water in the harness?

[@truckingwithrex]

Didn’t find out the exact cause. Water got into something but after turning my battery cut off switch to off and driving regularly the next 2 days all the engine codes/lights turn off and truck is running fine 🤞🤙

[@leonardmsl68]

Does prime use default oils besides delo oil.

[@AndyB718]

You're to good of a driver for Prime imo.

[@angelbowen5951]

So do lease operators have a maintenance account they take out of your pay or do you pay for oil changes etc out of your pocket at time of service?

[@truckingwithrex]

No maintenance account but you can setup an emergency fund. Oil changes or preventative maintenance is taken out the following paycheck. If it’s over $500 you can break it down to $50 a week until balance is paid.

[@alberthill6025]

Do you prefer tanker or swing door.

[@truckingwithrex]

Tanker

[@MoonKeyDLaughy]

I did oil change and chassid lube n Arizona n Spanish shop and total was 220$ lol n terminal no less than 500$

They are ripin you guys big time

[@danstephy08livcom]

Still torn if I am going to stay food grade after tnt or go inedible side. D’andre telling me to stay food grade because I already know a lot of the customers.

[@truckingwithrex]

I’d go to the one that’s get you home more “that’s just my opinion” did food grade for 3 weeks but Springfield MO isn’t a great location for home time running food grade. Also inedible you do WAY LESS hooking up hoses and pumping off! Something to think about! 🤙✌️

[@danstephy08livcom]

I live in Tennessee so I think either one would be about the same for home. Hooking up the hoses isn’t really a big thing right now but we will see in the winter 😂

[@xxlsutigersxx55]

Does prime pay you to bring an empty trailer to get washed or deadheading to a shipper with empty trailer?

[@truckingwithrex]

Yes prime pays you for empty and load miles

[@travis13jr94]

Yooo rex

[@Arlexcd]

Is backing in the trailer as scary as it looks

[@truckingwithrex]

No but the 1st time I did it I was very nervous 😬

[@guywise1443]

Prime just let 500 drivers go !!

[@alberthill6025]

What's the average pay per load. Trying to figure out why you all get 71% instead 72%

[@truckingwithrex]

I haven’t crunched my numbers to answer this exact question but my good educated guess is $1600-$1800 per load! Hope this helps 🤙✌️

When you have your trailer cleaned do they actually climb inside the trailer itself????

That’s rare, only time they actually climb inside is (if) it’s a trailer that sat a long time with product inside or if something falls inside the tank while getting cleaned

@@truckingwithrex wondering how it worked

[@tazz-ij3ik]

I have seen on some of your videos when backing into a loaded trailer you slam kind of hard into it why don't you drop your airbags back under the trailer and then Raise your airbags back up then finish backing under the trailer so you don't slam into it not good for the fifth wheel I am surprised your trainer never showed you thisThat is the only way I back under a loaded trailerJust a thought

[@truckingwithrex]

Yeah no one ever told me this! I would think by doing this you could possibly high hook the trailer since your lowering your bags lower than the trailer itself? 🤔

[@tazz-ij3ik]

@@truckingwithrex You are just lowering the truck to get under the trailer. As soon as you're under the trailer, lift your airbags and finish backing up.
