When you're driving a truck you can be proud of, and have the options and features you want to make your career and life easier, one is more willing to grind it out and really work, because a bad vehicle drags your job out of you, and it stops being enjoyable. It's a beautiful truck inside and out, and I can't wait to watch the next video in my list, the full truck tour. Congrats Rex :)
Bro first off, I appreciate your videos man. They are super fire n inspiring. For someone that came out the gate with his Twic, hazmat n tanker. I’m tired of pulling reefer. Your videos helped me get through my 670 miles today lol. Literally been watching them all day. Im at transam right now doing 3 weeks out 1 week off but the pay is inconsistent af. Im looking to switch over to tankers once I reach my year mark on March 14 2023
Superb truck😍 Nice color Would you be so kind to share the paint code of this silver metallic beauty??? Its on the passenger door sticker About to order a truck soon, would like it be the same color😊
Personally I would take off those rear hub plastic junk they don’t save money on fuel and then those super single tires. Just my opinion. But congratulations on your new freightliner
Don't know much about trucks but why did you went with a midroof instead of the traditional one?? And also what you think about Stevens transport cause gonna go there around January to get my CDL.
Some shippers and receivers on the tanker side won’t fit a full size truck, they require midroofs also less wind affect, better fuel mileage and climbs hills better… Appreciate that 🙌💯
A Rex how much money do you make as a company or owner operator 🚛 driver and how many miles do you do or do you get paid by percentage at prime transportation?
Hope you know it’s a big difference between the Pete and cascadia. Better have some Tylenol ready your back gonna be hurting from that freightliner suspension 😂
Had (A LOT) of problems with my Pete, with the mid roof I can go under lower bridges, less wind affect when pulling tanker, it climbs hills better, better fuel mileage etc… The above is my personal opinion seeing as I drove both a mid roof freightliner and Pete during tnt training. The freightliner also had a Detroit DD15 vs the Pete’s Paccar engine. The Pete wins in luxury and how smooth it rides though. 🙌🙏💯🚛
Why do lease through prime? They will rob you blind. Forget about nice trucks blah blah blah. Be a true owner operator that actually owns their truck and get paid fair man . Otherwise the truck is nice
Do you have a video on prime lease options and requirements can one come to prime and enter into a lease off the bat and does prime have a bottom hopper division?
Hi Rex, new to your channel. Like the content and it made me wonder. How I could get to drive for prime. I am from Namibia with no CDL. Is it possible for me to get a trucking job without a liscence?
Doesn’t matter, lease or lease purchase you can get your own decals. A company called Strips & Stuff does all Primes decals. I paid $220 out of pocket for my decals and it’s a tax write off 🙌💯
Hopefully you keep it clean and shiny unlike the Pete 🤣🤣🤣….and take off those stupid worthless plastic discs from drive wheels so the shiny alcoas can be seen ….good luck with it and break it in nicely
I stayed glued to my phone watching your vids, I’m about to start my local tanker position hauling fuel. Hopefully get my own truck later on. Stay safe & on that grind
I moved my family and I from Phoenix AZ to Springfield MO September 2021 to start trucking with Prime Inc. You can work for prime pulling Reefer and still live in Phoenix but not Tanker or Flatbed. Hope this helps
@@nobs8124 i agree these payments high 😂 unfortunately this next truck is the same (just leasing) going to focus on saving the down payment for the lease purchase 👊😂💯a little tough to save 13K seeing I have a family and monthly bills but imma keep trucking 🚛💰👍
@@truckingwithrex Dude thats awesome! I am in CDL school now. Not with Prime but a community college near me. Today was our 3rd day. We already pulling trailers around town. All manual trucks!
@@thatdudepeek7932 in 2022 I made 105K after all my expenses as a ROOKIE leasing with Prime. If you grind you can make money but to your point a lot of people fail for various reasons. I jumped straight to leasing after I got my CDL through prime. And yes a lot of these companies will scam or rip off drivers in lease programs for me Prime has been solid. I will try to see if I can put out a video detailing how leasing works!
@@truckingwithrex I applied with Prime . Waiting on response. Watching a lot of videos. Been hearing that you have to wait close to a month after tnt for a truck.
🔥🔥🔥 I love your videos can I get a pin rex?!

Congratulations on the new truck. Looking forward to the new truck tour.
Yes I’ll put together a tour video asap, also a comparison video regarding my old truck vs new truck 🙌👏💯
That man Dre is handsome 🤣🤣
You look fly bro 👏💯😂
Superb truck😍
Nice color
Would you be so kind to share the paint code of this silver metallic beauty??? Its on the passenger door sticker
About to order a truck soon, would like it be the same color😊
Nice bro … I had seen it in the parking lot at the Springfield terminal 🔥🔥🔥
Niiiiiiiiice!!!! 🙏💯
Hell yeah get that hydropac and the ecoheater put on and make that money 💰
Yeessssssssssir 👊🙌🙏💯💰
That new truck is looking real good! ✨ Congrats man!
Thanks I appreciate that 👊🙌💯
I was a Tanker *company* driver for Prime Inc. though (I LOVE Tanker) but this was awesome nostalgia.
Good ol’ Prime living that 58mph life!
Lol
Congratulations! Get a driver code so i can use to join so you can benefit from it. I just got my cdl and I want to join tanker in April.
Driver code is STREXA 💯
Personally I would take off those rear hub plastic junk they don’t save money on fuel and then those super single tires. Just my opinion. But congratulations on your new freightliner
Agree on those plastic rear hub cabs 😂
Súper single tires are worst
@@truckingwithrex i like them tho they make the truck look cleaner imo more slick
Nice new ride. happy trails brother and stay safe
Thank you 🙏🙌💯
Sweet ride!!
Excited for ya with the new truck, looks really cool!
Better with the mid roof for tanker . Had an ultra too , could barely see the tanker behind it.
Agree 💯👊🙏
Clean rig man 👍🏽😎.
Appreciate that 🙌👊💯
Alright T-REX congrats 👏🎉 on the new 🚛 can't wait to see roll on down the 🛣️ as always keep on trucking 🚛 b safe ✌️
How much is ur truck payment and insurance
Mid roof is the way to go. So many plants can't accommodate a full size condo sleeper
Agree 💯🙌👊
Hell nah. Loose so much space. Tall roof gang only way to truck.
Yeah the truck 🔥 dope content! I can’t wait to make that move to Prime! Blessings
Nice truck
Congratulations 👏 🎊
Appreciate that 👍👊💯
I will be in Springfield on 11/28/2022 to start pst, will be going flatbed out the gate
Awesome bro 👊🙌💯 had 2 others from my same graduation class at prime go flatbed!
Very nice truck thank you for sharing
Nice looking truck I must say!
Congrats on your new truck brotha.
Appreciate that 🙌💯👊
Let’s go rock. 😊
Don't know much about trucks but why did you went with a midroof instead of the traditional one?? And also what you think about Stevens transport cause gonna go there around January to get my CDL.
Midroof have better clearances at some of our customers on tanker
Dam that place is huge ….trucks everywhere
That thing look fire why u did u get the midroof real low but either way I’m proud of you nice truck
Some shippers and receivers on the tanker side won’t fit a full size truck, they require midroofs also less wind affect, better fuel mileage and climbs hills better… Appreciate that 🙌💯
Happy for you broo
Take care
Be safe
Congrats brotha man on the new truck
Appreciate that 💯🙌🙏
very nice truck sir.. congrats..
Appreciate that 👊🙌💯
Beautiful truck bro 💪🏾
Appreciate that 🙌👊💯
I don't see any doors on the storage cabinets in the sleeper area ?? is that how they come now??
What truck you had before this one?
🔥🔥🔥
Aye Rex how long did it take u to complete prime training school btw that freightliner looking real nice
From day 1 of orientation til I passed my CDL exam and got my license was 17-19 days. I appreciate that 👊👏💯
Lucky 🍀 🎉 congratulations 🍾
Appreciate that 🙌💯
Man congrats
👍👍👍👍
A Rex how much money do you make as a company or owner operator 🚛 driver and how many miles do you do or do you get paid by percentage at prime transportation?
Can’t speak for company drivers but I average $2,000 per week after all my expenses. We get 71% of the load! 🤙✌️
Hope you know it’s a big difference between the Pete and cascadia. Better have some Tylenol ready your back gonna be hurting from that freightliner suspension 😂
Question, Why would you turn in a Peterbilt ultra loft , for a mid Roof Freightliner?
Had (A LOT) of problems with my Pete, with the mid roof I can go under lower bridges, less wind affect when pulling tanker, it climbs hills better, better fuel mileage etc… The above is my personal opinion seeing as I drove both a mid roof freightliner and Pete during tnt training. The freightliner also had a Detroit DD15 vs the Pete’s Paccar engine. The Pete wins in luxury and how smooth it rides though. 🙌🙏💯🚛
There are some loads that require a midroof for a pickup or delivery per customer requirements. Better fuel economy is a plus also.
Why do lease through prime? They will rob you blind. Forget about nice trucks blah blah blah. Be a true owner operator that actually owns their truck and get paid fair man . Otherwise the truck is nice
I used to be with prime many years ago
Love your intro and videos.
Appreciate that 🙌💯🙏
Nice truck
Appreciate that 🙌👊💯
They have 2 hidden camera's in the speakers be careful
Rex how in the world did you organize the midroof. Coming from a condo to now this midroof I’m lost 😂
I prefer the Freightliner Mid-Roof 😂
Do you have a video on prime lease options and requirements can one come to prime and enter into a lease off the bat and does prime have a bottom hopper division?
No requirements, you can lease off the bat no prob.. No Hoppers at Prime. I don’t have a video will try to work on one about leasing 🙌💯
Can you please do a video about how does a lease work and what’s the pros and cons with prime
I’ll try to work on a video no problem 🙌
Beautiful truck.. but don't like those back tires.. bad experience with it..
Kongo 🇨🇩 for life and Afrika for life..here
Freightliner mid-roof look so nice but what make it ugly is the prime log on the top try to take that off
Hi Rex, new to your channel. Like the content and it made me wonder. How I could get to drive for prime. I am from Namibia with no CDL. Is it possible for me to get a trucking job without a liscence?
So just to be clear .... Dre is ya boy?
He is a friend yes, am I missing something? 😂
Seen a Volvo pulling a prime tanker, that was a first.
Prime is test some 40-50 Volvo trucks
Why does prime run super singles? What’s the pros of those? And man I hope your truck goes faster then 60mph 😂
They say super singles save💰on ⛽️ but I can’t confirm that and 😂 my truck will be limited to 65mph… 🫠
How many times can he say MY Boy ??
I’m thinking about ordering a new truck. Can you get the decals if your getting a new lease truck or is it just for lease purchase?
Doesn’t matter, lease or lease purchase you can get your own decals. A company called Strips & Stuff does all Primes decals. I paid $220 out of pocket for my decals and it’s a tax write off 🙌💯
Hopefully you keep it clean and shiny unlike the Pete 🤣🤣🤣….and take off those stupid worthless plastic discs from drive wheels so the shiny alcoas can be seen ….good luck with it and break it in nicely
Oooooo I’ll be keeping this one cleaner for sure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🙌💯🚛
I stayed glued to my phone watching your vids, I’m about to start my local tanker position hauling fuel. Hopefully get my own truck later on. Stay safe & on that grind
That’s awesome congrats 🎉
Why didn’t you get a peterbuilt
Because I had a lot of issues with my 1st one
When you cancel your lease like you did do they charge you a cancellation fee or hurt your credit?
No cancellation fee’s, prime doesn’t pull your credit
That is a gorgeous truck! But take those god awful covers off this back wheels. Absolutely beautiful truck though, that silver and blue pop!
Them covers…. Yeah…. 😂
Why didn’t you do lease purchase on the new truck ?
I don’t have 14K laying around 😂😂
Why did you go for super singles ?
All of primes fleet is super singles and they don’t give you an option to get duals. Unless you purchase your own truck with outside financing!
I would have went with another peterbuilt or a kenworth
Rex do you have to live in Midwest to do what you do? I stay in Phoenix bro.
I moved my family and I from Phoenix AZ to Springfield MO September 2021 to start trucking with Prime Inc. You can work for prime pulling Reefer and still live in Phoenix but not Tanker or Flatbed. Hope this helps
I like flat top truck, but I pull reefer and prime don’t let us use them with reefer.
Now I know why I’ve never seen a Reefer guy driving a flat top 😂 and agree duals are better than super singles 👏💯
@@truckingwithrex enjoy your truck body, and I hope so you’re doing léase purchase, I am tired doing weekly payments and not owning the truck ,👍👍
@@nobs8124 i agree these payments high 😂 unfortunately this next truck is the same (just leasing) going to focus on saving the down payment for the lease purchase 👊😂💯a little tough to save 13K seeing I have a family and monthly bills but imma keep trucking 🚛💰👍
nice
Dd15 better than mx13 🎉
Agree 👊💯
Does prime have kenworths?
Nah but I wish
It get 7.2 / half loaded, at 55 mph. 🤣
Hows the pay with Prime?
If you grind you’ll make 100K net your 1st year at prime
Did Prime put the decals on it???
A company called strips & stuff put them on for $220 same company prime uses for all it’s decals
@@truckingwithrex Dude thats awesome! I am in CDL school now. Not with Prime but a community college near me. Today was our 3rd day. We already pulling trailers around town. All manual trucks!
I hear alot of horror stories about leasing with a company. Is it really that bad? Id like to see you do a video on just leasing and the process.
@@thatdudepeek7932 that’s awesome bro! Keep grinding man you got this! 💪✌️

Is it equipped with an APU?
All prime trucks come standard with an APU
Oh no i dont want to look at a 65mph limited truck 😨
👍
What was wrong with the Pete
Had a lot of breakdowns (downtime) less downtime in the freightliner

You are trading in a Peterbilt for a Cascadia?
That’s what I was thinking, the math isn’t mathing as they would say lol

How long did you have to wait to upgrade after tnt?
After TNT I waited 7 days to get into my Peterbilt, it was the only truck available on the tanker side.. Hope this helps ya! 🙌💯
@@truckingwithrex I applied with Prime . Waiting on response. Watching a lot of videos. Been hearing that you have to wait close to a month after tnt for a truck.
That shit will just cost you another 40grand before 1,000,000 absolutely crap
Get an air pirifier in that pos its all plastic domt want to breat that crap in
Peterbilt to freighliner, mistake.
35 yrs otr. worst riding rig I have ever been in. 85 models rode better.
Leasing is a scam.
😄😃😁
Nice truck but Prime sucks
