I'm currently in New Mexico The Farmington area if you're familiar oh and what is the time frame between I put in my application get accepted whatever have to go take the UA what is the time frame between that and my ship out and arrival there?

Mirrors are one of the most important things in truck driving. I was taught to check your mirrors at every intersection or 10 seconds whatever comes faster.

[@Its_FamilyGuy]

does it become a habit eventually? Because I feel like that would get quite tedious.

[@kerryshambach2220]

@@Its_FamilyGuy yes. You eventually realize that you’re head is on a constant swivel scanning ahead and your mirrors. You will never need to worry about blind spots because you will begin to see every car as it’s approaching from a greater distance and will always know what’s around your truck at all times. And also don’t look right in front of your vehicle when driving. Our brains are capable of seeing things that are in front of us when we are looking way up ahead. You will notice that looking way ahead will result in smoother turns and less side to side lane movements while going down the road.

[@johnwilson721]

😅Hey, I've got something for you. I was watching around the 20 minute mark when he was pulling into the pull thru to park... you're telling him go left, go right, wait to turn, turn now.. but you don't tell him why he's waiting to start the turn or why he goes left or right. And he's just blindly following what you tell him to do. How is he supposed to learn when he has no idea what he is doing these maneuvers for. Like waiting to turn so the trailer tracks more to the left to clear the other truck. But he does not know the reason you say wait to start the turn is to get the trailer in position. Go left, go right means nothing if he doesn't understand why he is doing it. You do the same thru the whole video. At 22:14 you start giving directions again and I'm looking at that poor guy sitting there looking so confused. Your telling him which way to go and turn but not why he's doing it. You say let's just put it over there and then your pointing and telling him how to turn. You see and know where you want the trailer.. but that poor guy is just looking in a general direction of "over there", but he has no clue what you're wanting him to do or what space you're wanting him to park that trailer.. he's just blindly turn the trailer "over there". Why not try explaining exactly what you wanting him to do... like saying we're going to take the trailer to the far left and park in the open space between those trailers. Or explain how when you turn the tractor farther left that it will pull the trailer over more to the left to position the trailer where you need it to go when your making the turn or starting your backing. You just saying turn left, turn right, turn farther... that does not help him learn how to maneuver the truck to make his turns or position the truck for backing because he has no idea where he's going he's just turn left until you tell him it's enough. I just see him so confused listening to your directions. If you look at him at 23:08 your giving him direction to get set up to back in with those trailers. Watch him.. he does not once look in his mirrors he's just spinning that steering wheel in whatever direction you say and he's watching you for approval or his turn direction and how much to turn. He has no situational awareness and no idea what that trailer is doing. He's just spinning the steering wheel where you tell him to.

[@jwphotography8780]

Almost as if he really didn’t want to teach and was half way doing it

[@MetalHeadCobra420]

The one thing I would be concerned about is backing up with the long trailer

[@dasanix120362]

I have been thinking about becoming a truck driver/ getting my cdl for over a year. To be honest I’m terrified and intimidated of it. It’s a lot of responsibility but I am looking forward to it. And studying up and watching countless videos!

[@TwiztedD]

You got this come get it

[@ZNX05]

How you doing?

[@nobull4414]

Observations. 1. Gloves ALWAYS when working outside of the truck. Hand injuries are VERY expensive and hurt. 2. ALWAYS make your FNG back into a space. When it's their truck they can use pull-through's. (unless you really have to pee) 3. NEVER take off your seat belt when you move a truck. 4. When you are backing a trailer, and you have your head out the window looking at the back of the trailer, if you want the trailer to go right, you turn your wheel to the right in 1/4 increments.

[@TwiztedD]

I’m 18 and am learning to drive a truck with my dad and the first few weeks I was just like this learner and also super clueless and confused about which way to move the truck and how it’ll affect the way the trailer moves and luckily the more I drive and ask questions even if they’re dumb the more I learn.

Screw that curb, he had it coming lol. I'm new to this, and I noticed I didn't see any shifting. I thought all trucks were manual. Is this a automatic?

[@TwiztedD]

We have automatics

Is this in Florida?. I want to start training.

[@TwiztedD]

No but you come to one of the main terminals. Apply at primeinc.com use referral code COXDJO

[@BRO.JUSTINN]

Definitely ask as many questions. No question is dumb when learning.

[@eddymbigo5568]

I appreciate your good job sir as a trainer👏

[@TwiztedD]

Thank you

[@JohnSmith-bl7qj]

I Just have to ask: Does Prime use an accident that occured in Harrisburg, Pa in July of 2006 for training purposes? I will leave it with thatvor this will become more of a rant.

[@Daybreaker16]

I respect your patience i hope if i do take this decision i get a trainer as cool as you.

I want to drive semis. You know what I. Going to sign up and get a CDL immediately

[@TwiztedD]

Come with it!!

[@tylerl3465]

@@TwiztedD where is your school?? man i have a huge history of driving coach busses with trailers and etc. i am really interested but I cant afford the CDL school. watching that guy learning to back up the trailer just made me itch and want to do it. i love backing up trailers.. i feel like it would be a great job for me and a chance to really get out of this tough situation im in as far as financial and job stability.. i am a single father with a 7 yr old daughter and we lost her mother so i have been raising her myself. I just need to find a way to get into this deal!! any information that would lead me in the right direction would be much appreciated. i will be looking on the websites and calling some people today. right now

[@NLD352]

Im a heavy equipment operator in Florida but have always wanted to be a trucker so at 45 im strongly considering a career change. Im pretty good at backing almost any trailer so im comfortable with that part and not intimidated by big equipment ive just gotta quit smoking pot I guess lol. My question is what do you mean when you say “5 to 7” ?

[@TwiztedD]

Should be easy for you

[@TheGhostJournals]

What happens if another driver picks up your load by mistake does this ever happen

[@TwiztedD]

I seen it happen but it's rare

Your very patient with training

[@TwiztedD]

Thank you

[@briancummings9122]

Is that either a very quiet truck or a very good camera?

[@TwiztedD]

Camera

[@HellCharged]

How often does the training happen? Like does it start monthly or a couple times a year?

[@TwiztedD]

Every week a new class comes in

[@HellCharged]

If you test like this in an automatic, would they put a restriction on your cdl that you can’t drive a standard transmission?

[@TwiztedD]

That's right

Im so glad there’s automatic semis. Some goof told me there was only manuals

[@TwiztedD]

Nope

[@drblitz3092]

With no manual experience, I hated learning manual the first 2 weeks or first active 10 hours. Once you get it, you get some pride out of it. Majority of people should be pretty good at it after 24 hours of actively practicing.

[@zach071591]

@@drblitz3092 The way the industry and truck manufacturers are heading, manuals will be gone by 2030. These transmissions they have in these auto's now are no slouch.

@@zach071591ya, but it makes it way easier to get a local job if you need one. Makes it look like you do more than the minimum and. If they ever need to move a manual, they got you
