Tim Travels is live!

[@LiLConnerPeterson]

Two biggest lies in trucking are "We're a family" and " This is the only load we have in your area".

[@timtravels116]

Words to live by.

[@indo3052]

Family and trucking are like oil n water

[@CForged]

And when “truckers do this all the time” gaslighting for any oddball request or unsafe situation

[@DavidGolden-b7p]

Yep next lie is from dispatch " oh your load is ready now especially reefer loads

[@timtravels116]

I love it when the 9.25 an hour security guard knows your load is cancelled but nobody at your supposedly awesome company that loves its drivers does.

[@brysonglegg8019]

Prime is afraid of a guy like you. Because you wake the other drivers up. And they don't want that. Prime is just another mega carrier with all the nonsense that comes along with that. Good luck with your future. I'll be staying tuned to what you do next. Thanks for the videos.

[@ShawnHalpin]

All points why I turned my truck in on the 12th. Great video.

[@jordan2735]

I did OTR my very first year of trucking and went straight into local as soon as my year was up. I’ve been with my company for 6 years now and I don’t think I’m ever going to leave. Home every day, 4 day work week and paid by the hour. Doesn’t get much better than that. We only have about 180 drivers and we are a private fleet so we always have work. I don’t think I could ever go back to OTR after working here. I wish more people would look into driving for private fleets instead of these big mega carriers hauling whatever they can get their hands on.

[@User4622Vp]

Been following you since you were at Knight. Knight is a good company, just low pay. Wish you and your family health and wealth, and great things moving forward.

No one can run your truck better than you. Invest in yourself. Thanks for the content.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Prime acting like they're too big to fail, treating drivers like commodities despite their claim of being family... I always had that feeling about them watching their safety videos,, just seemed fake

[@YOUT8426]

Watching live now, 1.25x speed. But like your content. Can't wait for what is to come. Keep being real Terry.

[@indo3052]

Terry. Your actions are selfless. Most people wouldnt bother unless it directly affects them. Thanks for standing up for whats right regardless of the consequences

[@sherrytrobinson1546]

You are a good guy, you also have a passion for truth 😊 wishing nothing but the best. For you 😊

[@myronmarsh7582]

Thanks for sharing your experiences behind the scenes. I drive for Prime and have experienced both positive and negative situations as well. You do in all jobs. Some more than others. I can see the divide between drivers, the few who “get it” and those who think they do. Unfortunately, most of those are in the position of influencing our parameters. I’m looking forward to more posts from you. Stay Safe Terry.

[@Afroo.]

Prime is the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry, sadly the drivers are the pillars of the business but they get treated the worse, your problem is you know too much and you keep lighting new drivers so they don’t get fucked over & thats dangerous for Fraud Inc. as always great video Sir, I Salute you.

[@Moondoggy1970]

Outstanding vid,good luck on your next venture & drive safe out there.

[@CrownvicR]

I'd recommend Sherwin-Williams for the company route and CTS National for OO.

[@indo3052]

Thabks for being honest terry

[@MrDpboggs]

I never understood how that guy was so close to the road through the summer and no one smelled his body decaying.

[@timtravels116]

Unless someone is walking their dog or really in the weeds it might not be noticeable. I was at that facility one time and there was a dumpster filled to the brim with bacon just sitting in the parking lot baking in the summer sun. My dog was sniffing hard and looking around, but it reeked. You smell lots of nasty stuff around meat plants that might not register.

[@charleslooney42]

Is very simple to see what's going on from a dry van perspective after 19 years of otr experience and driving. With the economy as bad as it, buying is way low because of inflation and the end result is stores are only ordering replenishment stock, no excess stock. They scan for outs on the shelf abs only reorder what scans in as zero instead of 0 plus 2,3,4 etc

[@kevinknoff9809]

I’ve heard these stories many times, just before the trucking company goes out of business.

[@sharonthetrucker2297]

Well let's see.. you have left prime, this guy trucks is now at swift, riding with Dave has quit trucking, Hall & Oates have split up LOL I'm having a really hard time with all this change.. thank goodness for consistent hard times here at Western Express LOL.... but seriously, I look forward to the next chapter of your journey... thank you for sharing...

[@YOUT8426]

I don't want to leave. But they are pushing my 2016 out, and my 2022 will be paid off in January. Still considering buy #3 and run 2 with Prime, or just take 2 paid trucks elsewhere. Thinking..... what do you think?

[@timtravels116]

If you have been with them all this time and they’re pushing out a working truck that shows their disloyalty and that they only care about churning people into new trucks. If I had 2 paid off trucks, I’d get my own authority and find a local outbound shipper that has consistent work and then use load boards for backhauls. Based on what I’ve seen recently, Prime doesn’t really have a market advantage anymore (if they ever did).

[@CForged]

I’m not an LTL fan but if miles are you specialty then you really can’t beat Old Dominion if they need linehaul drivers.

[@YOUT8426]

Thier systems don't talk to each other! On the "My Fuel" I was on the Pittson O/O for 3 years after I moved to TX. Not till I went to MWR did it change.

The vaccination policy for your truck is silly

[@timtravels116]

What’s sillier is people that know zero about me and my family’s medical situation thinking that I should put loved ones at risk to train a stranger.

[@blkcobra03]

One of the few things I disagree with Terry. Getting vaxxed is THE MOST dangerous thing you can do. I'm a nutritionist and I studied research on this subject and it's not good. That aside, I love Terry's content/professionalism.

"Whoafully inadequate training" is an understatement. You cant call team driving training, when the trainer is sleeping while the trainee is driving! haha. Laughable joke!! Where does that happen in any other training program in any industry???

[@YOUT8426]

It would require "doing the right thing" that is the problem.

[@SannarClaus]

They will turn an entire carrier strike group around if they find out they’re missing one of their own…

It’s sound like PRIME is all about the dollar, that is what it’s all that counts.

Mr Travels is it legal for prime to garnish your LLC for child support

[@timtravels116]

Prime has to comply with any court order. If a court found that an LLC wasn’t entitled to the corporate veil, and that the LLC was just a person trying to avoid enforcement of an order for child support, a court might allow a lien on proceeds paid to a corporate entity. Prime isn’t going to try to figure out anything, they’re just going to comply. The LLC being liened (I use lien bc I think that’s the correct legal term) has standing to challenge any such order separate from the person who allegedly owes the child support. All that said, I’d be cautious about child support arrearages because many states have laws that allow a court to have a person’s driver’s and professional licenses suspended for non-payment.

[@blkcobra03]

Child support is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It is also a RACKET runned by the State.

[@ericgriswold5900]

Prime has contracted freight, so the rates get pre set. The tender rejected freight is freight these carriers are contracted to haul, but have to reject it cause they do t have the capacity to haul. So that freight gets sold to a broker or put on n a load board. So with that freight is low that means the carriers with contracted freight have the amount of capacity to haul their agreed to contracts.

[@lauralei6963]

I don’t understand why you said “I could’ve put up with my trainee”. What if they see this video. Since we are talking about the treatment of others..

[@timtravels116]

When someone trains in a truck they are necessarily giving up things including physical space, freedom, privacy, and intangibles like hearing snoring, smelling another person, or another person not respecting their property. Everyone puts up with something. The question always is whether it’s worth it.
