    If you’re thinking of coming to Prime Inc or want to get your CDL license. I honestly believe Prime is a solid company to start your trucking journey.
    Make sure when you fill out the online application @ www.primeinc.com put my driver code STREXA on page 2 of the application when it ask who referred you. Thanks for watching my video ❤

      I just turned 30 and I have an itching to get into Trucking but am hella nervous! I want to get my cdl. I’ve been looking into Swift or Prime as possibilities.
      Watching your videos makes me really wanna drive more! It would be amazing to have a trainer like you.

    I’m glad Prime changed things from the time I’ve left. When I did tanker I waited in that hotel in Springfield for 2 months before they had an opening on a truck. At least now they get to rack up some miles while they wait. Stay safe out there man 💪🏼

    I like your videos the best out of all the truckers I’ve seen. I’ve heard the urge to quit corporate office jobs and potentially switch. At first I was like no I wouldn’t want to do tankers but the more I watched of you the less bad it seems. You at least get out and have to move around move than others.
    I hope you come out with more videos but I like that it seems to be more of if I have time or something good. Not just for the fact of making a video. Keep up the good work and let’s see if I get fully convinced to pursue the trucking dream

Looks like a good place you have now. But, I've done the apt. Thing too. Especially when you have kids and a dog it's better to have room to run! Good video. God bless you and safe travels!

    Rex is fizzling out! Looks like he discovered that there's no money in being a lease-op and now he's a "trainer". I did exactly the same thing before I quit OTR and got a great local job, home every day. I wanted to be my own boss by leasing and then there was no money so I became a "trainer" when I had 6 months of experience!! LOL. Once I hit a year, I turned in the loser lease truck and became a company man with 401k and health insurance. Rex is travelling the SAME road i see.

    Hey Rex glad you are back and I hope you are enjoying the training gig, can i in make one observation?
    Just my two cents coming from 37 years as a truck driver, when I see truck drivers wearing flip flops, sandals or open toed shoes including Crocs that tells me this person isn’t taking safety seriously.
    It does not take much to injure a foot or possibly lose a couple toes in a split second.
    It also looks bad on our profession.
    Tennis shoes would help, the best is boots but not everyone likes wearing them, just my thoughts
