Hi Rex I've been following your videos, and enjoy them,the reason why i enjoy them is cause im a retired tanker driver of 25 years,so it's like I'm on your truck with you,(Keep on keeping on)my name by the way is Ron.

[@christiangomez4981]

Just passed my CDL permit 🎉 orientation is February 13th 2023 . Very excited! Going with tanker as well!! Love the videos! Hope to see you at the prime yard 😅

urine test?

[@christiangomez4981]

@@smokeboi123 yes , I just passed my cdl test here in Springfield. I had to retake my dot physical and did another urine test for it before I hit the road with my tnt trainer. Stay clean and you’ll be fine.

[@Daryn-sz7iv]

This tanker stuff looks fun. I see that you like keeping your truck clean just the way I used to when I drove.

[@DollarBillTattooer]

Great information man. Really digging watching your day to day of getting it done. Was wondering if you were gonna stop in Pittston yard while up that way.

I want to drive tankers! I’m in Pa right now with all my endorsements. I have 5 months of driving experience. I prefer to Drive automatics but I don’t have any restrictions on my license.

[@truckingwithrex]

All prime trucks are automatic and I’m pretty sure you could run food grade or inedible if you live in PA I run inedible products 🤙💯

[@chopsocky2309]

Just seen the load came from Robards. Worked at that plant a couple years ago

[@Big_Tuck_Enterprises]

Could you give us more information on the tanker side for a company driver what to look for in training an how to get comfortable with being a tanker driver

[@truckingwithrex]

I will try to make a video regarding primes psd and tnt training (what to expect during orientation etc).. The biggest thing with driving tanker is you just gotta smooth on your turns, braking and accelerating because the surge!

[@tg580]

It would make it a little easier if Prime would run air to your product line to blow the hose out. And a sample valve.

[@truckingwithrex]

Agree with that for sure 🤙😀

[@johnperkins6295]

Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t think you was ever gonna post another video!!!!

[@raybarfield2346]

Hey Rex do you do driver training OTR for prime ?

[@noeltex7558]

Oh shit I was just there yesterday picking up some dog food that’s crazy

[@davidKeever]

Starting my CDL training soon. Hoping to start with prime. Do you know if I have to get some OTR experience before I can start local? Wanting to get tanker endorsements. Nice Hey Dudes by the way

[@truckingwithrex]

Prime will put you with a trainer OTR, you’ll do 35K training mile then you can ride solo

[@TheAlienworkshop34]

How does prime work when you dont live near a terminal, can you take your truck home?

[@harrykistler3928]

Hey, Rex its awesome to see you in my area I live about 20 minutes from Humbolt Industrial Park. What's the place your going to off of 924 there?

[@truckingwithrex]

Nice 😊 I was delivering chicken fat to Vita Line Products 🤙💯

[@harrykistler3928]

That's awesome you go to any other places in Humboldt? Any chance on doing a surge video, Rex? So are you going to try and hopefully win one of those Ram pick-ups with Prime's incentive they have running for the holiday or no?

[@kennethburgess9536]

Have you tried the new Monster called Orange Dreamsicle? Shock has one called Orange Freeze that taste good too!

[@truckingwithrex]

Imma have to check it out 🙌😊

[@joehilton9208]

Quick question. Given that it's tanker division and considering the shipper/receivers and how the loads play out...could you run nights if you wanted to?

[@truckingwithrex]

Yes you can, I run at nights quite a bit! Sometimes I prefer nights.. less traffic, more chill

[@hartselltv2191]

How hard is the tanker side at prime? And do they let u start out doing that when u start or do u gotta be on Reefer or something else first?

[@truckingwithrex]

It ain’t all cupcake’s and rainbows but i really like the tanker side. Got my CDL through prime and went straight to tanker division. You just need your tanker endorsement no HAZMAT needed. Hope this helps ya 🤙💯 all shippers and receivers are in small towns or outskirts of cities. Only 1 tank wash is in the middle of Louisville KY kinda tight.

[@tomr3356]

I applied for prime with your code but I have an IRS conviction back in 2011 and now I have to wait 10 years after my probation ended to get hired. So guess I'll try again in 2026

[@truckingwithrex]

Dang it IRS don’t play… I’m sure you’ll get it sorted out bro stay safe 🤙💯

[@jordang1408]

Really enjoyed the job there 3 years ago. Had a crappy trainer and only lasted 33k outta the 60k they required before leaving. Great company tho

[@truckingwithrex]

Dang… when I did my tnt tanker only requires 25K

[@marcusknox2845]

@@truckingwithrex how many miles are required for tanker right now. I'm in Springfield right now in my psd stage thinking about switching from flat bed

[@truckingwithrex]

@@marcusknox2845 30K miles, that combined miles meaning (prime adds up miles you drive and your trainers miles) hope this helps ya! 🎄🤙💯

[@tylerbell705]

If I have over a year experience at another company would Prime still make me do TNT or can I come on as solo?

[@truckingwithrex]

Unfortunately yes you’ll still have to do TNT

[@tylerbell705]

Not sure why my comment posted twice but thanks for getting back to me!

[@aaronsullivan8153]

Are the O/O trucks governed with Prime? Do they offer fuel cards to you from the company? Not truck stop loyalty cards!

[@truckingwithrex]

If you lease with prime your truck is governed at 65mph, company drivers trucks are governed at 57mph on the pedal / 62mph on cruise control. All prime drivers get an id badge which is also our fuel cards. We swipe the card prime deducts the fuel out of our settlements weekly. Our discount is about $1.50 off per gallon. I use my loyalty truck stop rewards cards for points and showers. I’ve made over $750 this year off my points for fueling 🤙💯

[@aaronsullivan8153]

Wow 65! I thought about coming over there! But my truck is not governed! Nah I can’t do that one! Great u made some nice money on those loyalty cards! I did as well! Thank you sir for the advice!

[@truckingwithrex]

@@aaronsullivan8153 I understand 65mph is slow, me personally it doesn’t bother me, stay safe bro 😎

[@aaronsullivan8153]

It’s a little different where I work! I do intermodal work so I have to hustle! But I’ve driven road tankers before, and yeah it’s just run,miles, load, and unloading! I was just thinking of going back to road tankers! U stay safe as well!

[@paladin3116]

@@truckingwithrex can you explain how primes fuel surcharge works? Does prime cover some of the weekly fuel bill or it’s all on you?

[@ruthlessdisc8064]

Is it like only food grade or is it chemicals as well?

[@truckingwithrex]

I run inedible products, everything I run is used to make dog food / dog treats… we have a food grade side also. Prime doesn’t run chemicals or HAZMAT liquids. Hope this helps ya! 🤙💯

[@TimRHillard]

What kind of wait times do you experience with tanker?

[@truckingwithrex]

Tank washes are usually 1-3hrs wait for a washout, shippers and receivers I’m in and out within 2-3hrs usually. I do some drop and hooks no waiting with those 😎🤙💯

[@jonnyjon1126]

I used to use hoses with those. Why not just ask prime for extra dog ears and get a punch and hammer and change them yourself if they break or missing

[@truckingwithrex]

I did ask for em because they are super simple to replace and I was told to buy them myself and show before and after photos of me replacing them… then prime would reimburse me so yeah… lol

[@jonnyjon1126]

@@truckingwithrex people love it at prime and I am sure they are good. I just don’t like seeing them Nicole and dime all the drivers for parts and stuff for “their” trailers. I understand if it as was a part for the truck you lease.

[@truckingwithrex]

@@jonnyjon1126 you said it correctly they are nickel and dimen drivers. Prime is solid but it’s not the drivers responsibility to do minor repairs to their trailers and or equipment imho.. This is why I’ll report these issues in my pick up or drop trailer inspections and prime can repair them as they should.

[@jonnyjon1126]

@@truckingwithrex of course report it. I mean to not be willing to give those to drivers is crazy. The man power lost and jobs delayed by a 1 min fix is nuts.

I am married as well and have kids what im wondering is was the adjustment for you and your wife difficult? Also i live out of Indiana does prime have a terminal here?

[@truckingwithrex]

Before I made the jump to trucking my wife and I had extensive talks about how I’ll be away from home long periods at a time. Sacrifice now to get ahead in life and later be able to chill. I have a friend who lives in Indiana, he works the food grade tanker side.. he is home every day, off weekends making about $1800 a week bring home leasing with prime. Prime has a terminal in Decatur Indiana.. Hope this helps ya! 🤙😂
