Rookie Prime Inc. driver's first load

[@lostcause2137]

I worked for Prime for two hours. They caught me popping wheelies and doing donuts with one of their trucks in the yard.

[@outlawcountryman]

Crazy the date you posted this I was running my last load for prime from Cali to Springfield. Turned in my truck around April 9th. Came home for good. Good luck man I had a lot of fun there

[@banjo8879]

Best of luck in your journey. Hope to see future updates from you. God Speed.

[@rickreed9525]

I've been driving commercial truck and trailer for 14 yrs. Been owner operator for 7.5 yrs. If your looking to make good money trucking hauling chemical is the way to go. Keep trucking be safe out there 👌👍

[@tennisguyky]

My neck of the woods! Good luck on your journey man stay safe! 🤙🏻

[@MrCountrycuz]

I saw a 2016 Peterbilt 589 sell for 32000 at Ritchie Brothers with 330000 miles on it.

[@rolandkarwiese4973]

Did you check your fluids? Just cause it new don't mean you don't check your engine

[@matthewb9824]

Interesting video. Cool to see how you do things in the US and how heavy your loads are by comparison to ours in Australia. I regularly have loads of 90,000 pounds (40 tonnes) or more.

Always tug test

[@srtmaggy]

Is there a remote control to check the lights?

[@RollNforTime]

Not a remote but you push a button and it cycles all through the light process to make sure none are out and working properly

[@srtmaggy]

@@RollNforTime are you allowed to use that for cdl test?

[@RollNforTime]

Miggy Raya if you are referring to your permit testing (pretrip) the instructor will walk around and you have to say all the verbiage When you do your in-cab - air brake test you will have to do everything from turning the turn signals on to the wiper blades and explain to them all while doing it.

[@srtmaggy]

@@RollNforTime oh alright and im about to start school this month i hope i could memorize the verbiage

[@rgii6374]

Its voice activated on all prime trucks😬

[@user-uh9lg9wg1d]

That’s not heavy. That’s right we’re ya wanna be. I run 80,000 every load and sometimes need the ole APU exception cause I am slightly over. Wish I had a 75 k gross. Be safe driver.

[@shanewalton3361]

Is he remote running lights with a phone?? Cool!!!

[@RollNforTime]

I’m not sure I understand your question

[@Voltomess]

@@RollNforTime what are u mean u don't understand its simply question what did u use to test truck lights being outside....

[@RollNforTime]

Goobeek if you read your question and the previous question you may understand. The newer trucks have a switch you can turn on to do a light test. Does that answer your question?

[@kylejohnson2248]

[@622kck]

@Todd Saeger I stayed out 6 months at a time made good money and now companies are hireing anyone who can drive a truck

[@andrewschmidt9357]

I see no mattress in the truck, do all new trucks come without mattress??

[@RollNforTime]

All the trucks come with a top and bottom bunk mattress. I removed the mattress on the top bunk and use it as my storage because the international does not have any storage in it

[@RollNforTime]

This kid is 42 yrs old and when you get out of a truck that you've been in with another individual for almost 4 months it does appear that way. But im sure you're just a keyboard warrior and don't even drive a truck.

[@DanielPEdge]

All I can say is good luck pal.. Lease purchase is never a good thing with any company I've been Trucking 32 years and you couldn't give me a tractor today unless I could sell it tomorrow.. Hell I remember when kllm was the all owner operator Fleet that is until they built up their Fleet got rid of all the owner operators and started lease purchase and Company drivers with those cabover International buses... But everybody's got to start somewhere keep up the good video work best of luck... "Always Broke" (my CB handle)

[@dustyspicher5430]

As long as you keep up on maintenance it should be ok. My truck is a 94. 60 series detroit 11.1. Pulling corn on a hopper bottom. Lightest load yesterday was 94,000. If she blows up just park it and buy another. Theres tons of trucks for less than $10,000. I think my next truck is a kenworth short hood. Got her scouted out. Down side is a cat engine.

[@josephhoak1235]

I'd prefer a Columbia over an international or volvo

[@robertbirkenbeuel1809]

Did you do the tug test pal

[@RollNforTime]

Robert Birkenbeuel I don't do them, I check the fifth wheel every time I hook up to a trailer when I stop. Sometimes the tug test will fail you

[@SuperNorcalkid]

U went lease right after getting your cdl or you had to wait 6 months or so?

AMIR KELLOGG yes, and produce loads going out the west to the east pays very well

[@JGREGO201]

Hey Jason, hope your first load went better than expected. Glad your upgrade went well, but I personally would've waited for a Freightliner, I driven all including Internationals, don't like them at all. Hope when I come on board I won't run into that situation where you have to get what Prime gives you.. Be safe out there brother 👍✌️ nice looking truck though 😁

[@RollNforTime]

I could've waited but I'm ready to make some money. The way I figured it was if I don't like it I can order exactly what I want, color, and the way I want it set up in 3 months

I leased my truck with a major company so I’m a owner operator I gross between 7500-9000k a week

Fairy Dust Gross don’t mean shit, the net is what’s important

[@ericm1430]

You're telling me you want a Volvo over an international? Definitely a rookie....Volvo is at the absolute bottom of my list. I have a Freightliner Cascadia mid roof, I like it. Our company mostly has Cascadias and international LTS. Few Coronados and pete 579's. Don't think they own a single Volvo company truck. Also pretty damn lucky to get a brand new truck out the gate like that. Ive been with my company 3 years now Im just about to get my first brand new truck. My starter truck had about 60,000 miles on it fresh out of school, I thought I got pretty lucky with that. Enjoy, trucking truly is an amazing job. Nothing like doing your own thing you make your own schedule just get there on time. Has its downs but its also great at the same time. I love it, Will probably do it the rest of my life

[@RollNforTime]

Eric M so let me understand this correctly. I’m a rookie because I would prefer something that’s on the bottom of Your list? Thx for watching the video but just FYI I am a rookie and I’m okay 👌🏼 with that

[@ericm1430]

95% of drivers would agree. Volvo is the absolute worst truck you can have. It’s the base junk that most fleets operate. International lt is night and day better. If you disagree yes you’re a rookie

76700 is heavy? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All y’all mega carrier drivers crack me up 🤣

[@RollNforTime]

At Prime 80,000 is the max legally we can haul that's usually around 47,000 in the box. We do not deal with heavy haul stuff

[@user-uh9lg9wg1d]

Man these super carrier drivers crack me up too. LOL. I am so heavy some times I can only get 50 gallons of fuel and that puts me at a 1/4 tank lol. Then Run from coast to coast getting 50 gallons Every day.

[@user-uh9lg9wg1d]

We all are only legal for 80,000 lbs gross. Unless your a permit load, oversized or RGN heavy haul etc. Trust us tho. 75 -76 isn’t heavy. Your steers are grossed for 13200 lbs. (12,000) legally. 80,000lbs for that tractor is nothing. Remember your fuel weight. 7.2 lbs per gallon. Just say 8 lbs. save yourself the grief. Quite often I am over 80,000 lbs slightly. ie. 80,500. Google APU exception. Most states allow 450 lbs and some allow 550 lbs. so don’t stress over the weight on that load. Your actually right in the happy spot, any lighter and the wind will get ya

[@vegaslimoguy2376]

@@user-uh9lg9wg1d And with the APU exception topping off your tanks wouldnt have made any difference. A few hundred pounds you were saving on fuel would not have helped you at all. They are only going to pop you if you are way over. I crack up everytime i hear a driver say they couldnt fill up all the way, that does not save much weight at all on the truck just a waste of time.
