Hey Chuck, cool tour of Prime !!! Learn as much as you can from your trainer and yes your right you may no get the best trainer or best fit personality wise but your there to learn the job and most importantly do the job safely and correctly!!! Thank you for sharing another adventure Braddah with us!!! Be safe and keep it rollin 👍👍👍

[@PolskaBabii]

Thank you for all your videos. I have one question. Do you happen to know if they match up female/male trainees with female/male trainers? Not that it would be a problem...just curious. Thanks again. Your channel has been invaluable.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

They normally pair you with a Female trainer but you may have to wait around but if you want to get started with trainers that are ready to train than you can go with a male. I would recommend waiting on a female trainer.

[@RenoScruggs]

Hey buddy I like your videos I just found you on here a few days ago. I love trucks and have respect for truck drivers without you guys we couldn’t get nothing. Stay safe

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thanks Steven and welcome to the community!!

[@percyastronautstatus.8780]

I can tell by the way u think it don't matter what profession u choose ...your gonna do great...I realize it don't matter the profession more than the MIND of a man

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I appreciate that Percy!! Thanks for stopping by the channel!!

[@swalwayssmile1000]

Hi Chuck, I came across your channel and now I am a new member.....be safe out there....tfs

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Welcome Sharon, I appreciate you coming along!!

[@derricklewis1683]

Im at Prime this week as a student. Looking foreward to getting friday to check out this facility!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Knock out those CBT’s fast, get that permit on Tuesday and the rest of the week is gravely!!

[@robertmarshalljr8050]

Good vlog Chuck, I'm enjoying this 👍💪

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thank you Robert 👊🏻

[@VenmHiss910]

Great to hear from you that all is well!!👍. Very fascinating to learn something about how the trucking industry works. Thanks for the update. Wishing you well on your training runs... STAY 💯👍👍👍 mike r. in NC

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

It’s a huge industry and I had no clue everything that goes into running these massive fleets. I appreciate you Mike! 👊🏻

[@kevincopeland7478]

Chuck. When you get your own truck let us know the # on your tractor !! In case we see you on the road!!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I definitely will 👍🏻

[@normanfortin8301]

What PRIME really needs to do is to teach there drivers that they SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING 55 THE MIDDLE LANE when the posted speed limit IS 70 or 75. Either that or to teach them to pull over to the right when faster trucks come up behind them instead of forcing the faster vehicles to UNSAFELY pass on the right, as here in New England, trucks are not allowed in the left lane on a three lane road or the left two lanes on a 4 lane road. I am constantly passing PRIME trucks on the right side because the drivers are either too ignorant or too stupid to move over. Talk about an accident waiting to happen, and the person that will get blamed for it is the one that is FORCED to pass on the blind side.

[@GarrettWorcester]

My brother from another mother, we were both up at 5:30am on a Saturday morning for no damn good reason today! Safe travels and stay away from Soonerland on Monday - the weather might not be terribly conducive to safe tractor-trailer ops.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Yes, I here the weather was pretty ruff Today and not looking good Monday.

[@frankmarshall9042]

Love the videos Chuck! I start Prime June 24th and I’m excited! Your videos make me even more excited! Good luck and be safe out there buddy!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Welcome Brother. They are a top notch company. Just come in prepared and it’s allot easier to manage all of it. Keep me posted how it coming along!! 👊🏻👊🏻

[@frankmarshall9042]

The Tulsa Trucker I will man! Maybe we’ll even cross paths one day 🤘🏾

[@josephhodges9819]

That was the one thing I hated when going through training when I drove is that they put you in a hotel sorry motel with a roommate. They built a facility on the compound for new people but had too many. They got access to their own room, clubhouse, full kitchen, and it was really nice. We had two people sharing a fridge smaller than what was in the truck itself.

[@joshmangum1610]

Congrats on the new journey Chuck. Longtime follower from Corvettes918. I'm a car guy and not a trucker but the inspiration you bring and your positive attitude towards everything keeps me coming back. God bless you brother!

[@ppeller3]

Stay safe Chuck! You have the right attitude for anyone wanting to learn the trucking business. Your also setting a great example for people wanting to get ahead in life. Success isn't going to just fall into your lap! You have to go out and make it happen! Lets Roll! 🖐🖐🖐👋👍

[@curtisfish7984]

Great introduction to Prime all week. Thank you for that! Safe travels to STL and beyond!! Prayers for success are still coming your way: daily.

[@B-Rac]

Thank you for the update Chuck! Goodluck w/ otj training and stay safe out there buddy. 🙏 🚛

[@oneslackr]

Be safe out there on the road. Good luck with your training/trainer. I'm sure you'll do well despite any personality differences.

[@majorautoclean5003]

Good luck and stay safe

[@marcuss2956]

Great vlog Chuck! Came over from the Vette side. This is going to be a very interesting ride, look forward taking it with you:) be safe out there on the road.

[@brinkscookingtruck5680]

I am enjoying your journey

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I appreciate you coming along on this journey it means allot. 👊🏻

[@trodecke]

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you start the mobile portion of this journey! I'm not certain what church you attend but hopefully they've either got a live feed from their services or recorded sermons. Holler if you need a prayer partner while you're on the road Chuck.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thanks Terry, Yes, I can watch set I e from the road!!

[@davidking1662]

Good luck chuck dig deep this is some of the hardest most grueling stuff your going to go through. Training was a very hard stuff those trainers run you because they are making big bucks. They called us meat in the seat when I went through my days learning they make money when your driving so they like to run hard. I've been driving 9 years now life on the road can be a challenge, some good but your doing it for the money but a lot of sacrifices. Kinger is my nickname hope to see you out there in America.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

It’s definitely a lifestyle change!! I am not doing it for the money so going to try and take everything in stride. It’s definitely going to be a ruff few months but the pay off is getting that CDL, my own truck then enjoying the ride.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks for taking us along Chuck, appreciate it!

[@ke67007]

Prime has an impressive facility. Good luck in your training...

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I agree, top notch for sure.

[@yellowcourier]

Thanks for the update Chuck. Do you have any reservations after being your own boss for so long or do you look forward to giving up that responsibility?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I have no second thoughts getting out of the Garage Door business. It’s great to be self employed and own something but it really takes a toll on you if you are dealing with general public. Was very good to my family financially but wore me down. Glad to make a change.

[@larrydawes8765]

Chuck, congrats to making a life changing decision on your new career. Hope all works out great for you. Always enjoyed being with you on the corvette channel and now look forward to following you on the road.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thank you Larry, I appreciate you sir!!

[@geraldbolen6140]

Chuck, one of the things that make us Professional truck drivers is making sure you get some rest. Hope to see you on the road some day driver! Continued prayers for you and your family!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I definitely agree, to be safe and alert you need to be well rested. This was a hectic week but the hard work and preparation has paid off and I am definitely getting some rest.

[@randyrhodes7526]

As always thumbs up, you are very determined and I am sure you will do well, going along for the ride !!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Squad Captain!!! Thank you Randy!!

[@doug9066]

Very nice facility.

[@poorshelly]

Awesome video Chuck, did you have women in your class? I’m 56 and stuck in a career and around people I’m not happy with. I’m seriously looking into trucking as a change.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

We have 5 women in my class. 13% of Primes fleet are women.

[@poorshelly]

Awesome

[@BrandonBalderas]

Great stuff Be safe out there

[@mayhempilot6158]

Are you going to eat those eggs?

[@andreweisenhart6309]

Drive safe to Saint Louis!

[@anwaryare3571]

Your name is Justin and you're from the DRC?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Nope

[@deant876]

I loved the cafeteria at prime. I can see some things have changed since I worked there in '04 & '05. I see they still do the Friday morning meetings (the breakfast was free if you attend). If you can get one of the P.O. boxes, it makes things easier

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Are you still in trucking?

[@deant876]

Prime was my last OTR job. I got a local driving job (hourly), 3 miles from my house (metro Detroit). Now I'm the mechanic for the same company (almost 15 years total). But I do fill in if a driver calls in sick.

[@Holmeschef]

Is there a way to DM?

[@bigdog8059]

Good luck TT you will do just fine and congrats.☺

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thank you sir!!

[@carbon2712]

Good luck Chuck on monday on your first haul, Be safe!! 🙏🙏 See you on the next video. #Corvette918 for life!! 👍🏻🏎

[@bernardthomas8638]

Good luck out there.

[@CARTERCUSTOMS1]

Have a great day and be safe

[@fredchilds6808]

Going to be a great career for you buddy. You need to get a musical horn that plays some type of corvette theme so you can play it when you see a corvette on the road.

[@amoslyaround]

Good show, Chuck. Anxious to see you hit the road. Get some sleep!!

[@danielrosas399]

Did they do hair particle?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

No

[@nickferdinande1646]

God I remember going through all that lol. Glad its over!

[@salvatorevulcano2427]

So how many days in all before you got to go on the road

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

As soon as Orientation was over (4days) I had a trainer and hit the road.

[@salvatorevulcano2427]

@@TheTulsaTrucker awesome. Thanks again for the detailed overview. It’s a big leap for people. I have a mortgage, car payment etc I can’t just leave behind

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

@@salvatorevulcano2427 it’s definitely not a job it’s a lifestyle and OTR was definitely not for me. Working LTL local has been a much better fit and it pays really well. Good luck to you sir.

[@amandacosner]

How long did you have to do OTR before you could do local? And did you have to switch companies?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

@@amandacosner I went local after a month OTR. Went to Pepsi got a year experience and then got on with Estes. LTL will require at least 1 year tractor trailer experience.

[@stevebecwar9286]

I am really liking your new channel.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I appreciate that sir!!

[@jeffclayton9968]

Good luck.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thank you Jeff. I appreciate that.

[@jimmitchell2873]

Please tell me you got some time behind the wheel in the yard before you got on I-44 headed to STL. I remember being scared to death my first time on the interstate. By the 4th day, my trainer was sleeping in the right seat as I drove. So long ago....still seems like yesterday.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Yup, I drove 400 miles and learned allot. It’s all about them big L’s 😂😂

[@alaneasterday8327]

Hi Chuck, sounds like a great company to be with. Wishing you well in your training. Take care.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thanks Alan, I made a good decision coming here!! 👍🏻👍🏻
