I use to drive for this shitty company and the only reason they did that was to make up time on roads they can actually driver faster on same with construction zones.
Prime Drivers are Robert Lowes little followers, we run 60 mph and save all kind of money in fuel. Thier brainwashed into doing that Lease its laughable, I had a buddy that worked their is a LO and sometimes he didn't even make a penny smdh but lmao
Even then, we still get passed. Lol. That's why you wake up early so you can get an idea of traffic. If you trip plan properly you won't need to rush outta the truck stop or wherever it is you parked. That driver needs some patience. We're all doing the same job out here.
To all newer guys.. herein lies a lesson. You don't blow any horns .. city or air.. in a truck stop, day OR night. Just because you are awake, doesn't mean everyone else is. Jake braking through every gear.. Banging loudly on your slide with a hammer.. Popping your air brakes 45 times beside a row of parked trucks while you try to slide ONE HOLE... Hanging in a group with your pals beside your truck parked beside another while laughing and talking loudly... is likely keeping them awake. I know this because it happens to me all the time. Try to be respectful of others as you would have them be of you.. or don't get pissy when you get rained on too.
Samuel I.....So if I see a person about to get run over and killed in the parking lot of a truck stop, I should not blow my horn because someone may be sleeping?
Sam - No what ya mean. Parked at 3:00AM one mor'n in N. Carolina, was woke up at 8AM to jackass blowing train horn in parking lot. That didn't go over very well!
The funny part is the moment he pulls forward in a huff, and flips a bird - the other 2 trucks start moving again. Those drivers were probably as tired as he was, too.
I've learned to stop and cool off... you are usually your dumbest when you're pissed. I think we all get a little crabby after that all nighter we didn't plan on doing or when everybody and the shipper seems to be moving at a negative pace.
That's why I don't let any desk jockey moron tell me how to drive a truck, when to work, how to work, etc. I will melt down when some desk jockey idiot tells me 'you don't have time to stop to eat/shower/scratch your butt', 'why aren't you moving?', 'its only 3oo miles to your delivery on the other side of those mountains and you have 4.23 hours left to work! You can make your delivery today!' My record is clean, I can find another job in a few days, if not quicker. You can't let the little crap get to you, or build up. If I need to take a break, I take a break. If it's a problem with some desk jockey who can't find his way across the company parking lot without a GPS, I can easily find another job. I've also worked for a company if you told them 'I need to rest a few hours I don't feel well' they would put you on suspension until you got a new DOT physical. It didn't matter where in the USA you were. So drivers worked SICK, or injured.
Yeah, when I had somebody that wanted to turtle race me or wouldn't get up the road and get away from my truck, I would either tap the cruise down three to five miles per hour, or pull off the next exit and sit there for about 5 minutes. Amazing what a difference it makes. Problem is, we have too many idiots getting their CDL these days who've never driven anything bigger than a Honda Civic, and have this "I'm bigger than you, get the fuck out of my way" mindset. Shame that those bad apples are ruining it for all of us.
Amazing, isn't it? But this is the Billly Bad-ass mentality of the modern day E-Log outlaw. I remember my first co-driver thought they knew everything and they were there to train me, but I was the one he asked to back the truck up a 3-mile dead-end road in the dark. Next one violated company shut-down order after a bad storm, driving 50 miles per hour on ice with no chains or pre-trip. Last but not least, was balls to the wall, 65 miles per hour, foot to the floor, rain or shine. I set the cruise at 62-63 and not only had a higher average speed than he did, I also pulled more miles per day. Some people just can't see the forest for the trees.
There is 3 groups of truck drivers 1. 1 to 5 years driving they think they know everything. 2. 5 to 10 years they know everything. 3. 10 or more years they found out all them years they were wrong!
Different take on this video, but it looks like the Prime driver thought the Blue Truck / Kennesaw trailer was going to stop and give him room to pull forward to square up and park. About the time the Prime driver went to pull forward, the blue truck began moving and pulled on up closer to the stopped truck in front of it. If there's a stopped truck in front of you, and some other guy adjacent to you is waiting for that space to pull forward for a few seconds, why not just hold your ground and give him the space, rather that pull up right behind the stopped truck and block him?
You can't always tell what a truck moving slowly through a truck stop parking lot is up to? I was stuck behind a slow moving truck moving through a petro truck stop the other day. I thought he was moving the truck slowly to not trigger his ELD. He was doing 3-4 mph. There wasn't enough room to get around him without creating chaos, and often they finish whatever they are doing when they see you going around them, and speed up, or cut you off. I mustered up my patience....and waited, creeping along. Then, the truck stops in the middle of the lane...the driver gets out, and walks to a dumpster to throw some trash away, 100 feet away. I then drove around him, not happy, but glad to GTF out of there. If running into stuff that makes no sense gets you angry, you better keep out of trucks.
You commenters are being to hard on this guy. He was obviously in need of changing his diaper. Everybody should have immediately gotten out of his way.
It does seem unprofessional of him. I used to be a computer operator at a trucking company. One driver told the story of one new kid they all nicknamed "Outlaw", because of his temper and horrible attitude. He was combative with his trainer, and when asked to unload for a client, he told the dispatcher "I'm not your n@##!!". Or he might have said that directly to the client. What took the cake was he was flagged by DOT for some violation, and decided he was going to show the DOT officer what for. The officer was an older gentleman. He didn't get the first swing. Younger officers immediately jumped him and he got locked up. That probably ended his trucking career.
What is his problem? All the other drivers have to wait on him to slowly pass a Swift truck. We got to move over so that slow truck can get on the interstate. When that moron figures out the rest of us drivers are tired of waiting on him his tune will change.
Bad Drivers Of Napa Valley you only see the video that makes the final cut that broad wants you to see . I can guarantee you unless she's on meds she gets pissed just like anyone else .
I was always told to only blow your horn in two occasions.1 if a truck was going to hit you or another truck 2. If it was an emergency and you needed help
Prime trucks are governed at 62 for company drivers and 65 for lease drivers. WAY too slow, if you ask me. It's all about fuel incentives for the megas.
Asshats like that make it harder on those starting in the game. No reason to ever blow your horn in a damn truck stop or rest area. Ever. Unprofessional behavior there bud. I can only imagine how this guy handles traffic on the road. Be safe out there yall!
Well what do you expect if you're dumb enough to go to work for somebody and pay him $812 a week on a truck that you'll never own? Cuz you want to run with the big boys!
I have a Prime driver doing 55 mph esst on i76 out of Denver when I'd start to pass he'd speed up to 68 my governed speed holding me out and when I'd pull back in he'd slow down and a few miles repeat when I'd pull out to pass...so the 5th time I tossed an empty rock star can out out him and by accident my metrx protein bar ... this did not cause damage but was intended to send a message the guy also looked like received 150lbs soaking wet . Less than 3 minutes after I did this safety was on the phone asking me if I did this and why . At the time he was still lane racing me and I explained what he'd been doing and that ...lol... something "may have" blown out my window by accident when "accidentally " bumping my elbow on the window switch ... The chick in safety laughed her add off for back on phone with him and asked why he was having a hard time maintaing his speed with our truck behind you and not to bother her again ... I really like the safety department at a small company since he's calling a person I b.s. with in person with weekly .
Lol.... I'm the one that calls his safety and asks are all of their drivers NON DRIVING IDIOTS? They inturn inquire what's going on and I tell them they do not know how to maintain steady speed....I normally maintain 70 or just under so when they play those games and speed up to prevent me from completing my pass, I am able to step on it and step it up a bit faster than they can and watch em cussin away In my rear view as they eat dust... My 08 looks just like a 65mph company truck... Jokes on them LMAO
Thats why I don't bother to contact safety departments any more. I just post the video online, with the truck and company details. If the company gives a damn, they find it. I sent a link to a video of a very dangerous driver to a smaller company safety department, and included a tracking program with the email. I could see them forwarding my email (with a throwaway email address) to 20 drivers. A week later some person claiming to be the head of the safety department, (50 truck company) started begging me to remove the video. I googled her name and see she was a secretary at the company, no mention of 'safety'. Screw them. The video is still up.
@@TruckerdashcamBlogspot You sound like a genuine idiot . In my 14 years on the road the drivers and non drivers who do what you claim to be doing have plenty of safety issues surrounding your weekly activities, buy you aren't being recorded by a nut job... like yourself... In my opinion you should meet the right person and your camera and you get a mudhole stomped in you as a life lesson .
@@TruckerdashcamBlogspot work the thousands of videos posted like this, the safety officer have more important stuff to do than watch videos all day looking for a single clip including one of their units screwing up... Send them an email attaching the video to the email and it will automatically get loaded to the cloud and a link will go with the email do that they can click and go direct to the web to view the video... Had to do the same thing last year... They viewed the video and took care of their driver that was speeding and being unsafe constantly changing Lanes in a truck Lane restricted work zone
Then after all that, he manages to sort-of park in a space at the end of a row....where HE will be in everyone else's way. Robert Lowe must REALLY be proud of this jackass. Truck number 650739.
The only professionals left are old.Some at retirement age.The new breed of trucker has all the qualifications and road savvy of a Domino's delivery driver.
This Is the Prime Reason I wouldn't want to work for them.... Try calling the recruiters and you know instantly the feeling of how everyone is treated... Like this guy acts... To many newbies can't handle out here...
Was at Prime. It's a good company, but there are quite a few "self-entitled super truckers" there who think they own the world. LOL Bet he was happy when he saw this on UA-cam! NOT!
Im a new driver and i would like more advice on what to do as a truck stop so i can respect others around me.... any advice would be greatly appreciated oh and dou often have to wait for a spot at truck stop for sleep ?? Thanks im based out of Miami Fl....... brothers of the road please help
so all that commotion just so he can turn around and back into a spot over there which is all open, what happen to the spot he pulled up in was that not good enough? this driver obviousally is so impatient and doesn't make sense shouldn't be driving a truck
Swinging doors sure beats being a knuckledragging flatbedder! I haven't pulled an open trailer in ten years, and my knuckles have finally healed and scarred over,. :) Flatbedders can get away with acting strange since they fall off the trailer pretty often, usually hitting their head.
That driver sounds like a trainer I had when I drove for Prime. The trainer I had was an arrogant a$$hole and didn’t give a 💩. Thank goodness I got a better trainer when I got back to the yard.
Lol I got lucky. My trainer at times was strict but I understood why. I've made minor mistakes while training but I've always learned better afterwards. Passed my tests the first time through I was so happy lmao. Had my official license since June 2016. No accidents, clean record
trucker needs lots of patience.... stuck in traffic patience, long driving patience and slow speed patience. if anyone is fast car type of person, don't be a trucker. you will kill someone oneday.
*P* lease *R* emember, *I'm* *M* issouri *E* ducated, *I* *N* eed *C* lasses. 'Prime' example of a complete jackass, in a hurry to get nowhere... It's not like it was the last parking spot. But give them credit, guys, at least they weren't parking on the fuel island, as so many mega carrier steering wheel holders are prone to do.
There's just something about that God awful air horn on these Freightliner Cascadias that just screams "I drive a pussy truck and it irritates the sand in my vagina"
On the other hand there are a lot of jackasses that see someone trying to backup in maneuver into a spot but they wanna roll up right in front of you and block you basswood it looks like to me when the video is fast forward but I could be wrong
Kennesaw should have noticed he was trying to park and given him space. If drivers had C b's anymore he could have just asked him to move is truck and no problem
Hey if you had to spend 11 hours every day getting passed and finger thrown at you for going 62 in the left lane or 35 up a hill holding everyone up you would be in a bad mood too hahaha
We've all been their running low on hour's running late traffic. But this driver drives for Prime . When you get passed by old people on hoverrounds and kids on pogo sticks its a lot worst .they cant5even flash people over or they would look like a disco ball
Time to find a new line of work when something so minor gets you so angry. The way he spun around and backed up is too fast in a truck stop. Calm down, it's not worth it too get so worked up.
If you had the stress of driving a rig, surrounded by idiots on cell phones cutting you off, pulling in front of you, dumb drivers blocking lanes, bad weather, constant phone calls from dispatch and customers asking where you are and when you will get there... Trying to get as many miles in while watching your 11 hour clock run out, while trying to plan for a place to park before your time runs out... Do all that for 12 hours a day 7 days a week for a while and you will not have any problems sleeping !
One thing you steering wheel holders need to understand is that the man in the Pete 379 owns that parking lot and he will let you be on your way when he feels like it
We are stuck with Trump for a while, that's bad enough, without people who probably can't even spell Peterbilt without looking at their tattoo or belt buckle being in control of anything. :)
He's in a huge rush to do 60 mph in the middle lane.
Slow trucks do have psychological effects on the driver
I love the ones who speed past me in a town in a 40mph zone but get back to highway speed they cant even run 65 smh
Or go battling past you in a work zone so you can pass them again after the work zone
Dont forget in the truck stops also
I use to drive for this shitty company and the only reason they did that was to make up time on roads they can actually driver faster on same with construction zones.
Prime Drivers are Robert Lowes little followers, we run 60 mph and save all kind of money in fuel. Thier brainwashed into doing that Lease its laughable, I had a buddy that worked their is a LO and sometimes he didn't even make a penny smdh but lmao
He's just mad because the only time he gets to pass anybody is in the truck stop parking lot
T Rader 😂😂😂
😂😂good one cause I pass prime slow ass trucks everyday on I-40

When you gotta take a dump and everything is in the way.
The only time anyone should ever honk their horn in a truck stop is if a SWIFT/KNIGHT/ENGLAND is going to roll his/her trailer into your hood.
@Gus VanHorn Oh God, CRST is the WORST!!!
TexasLadyTrucker , Who's Worst : SWIFT or CRST ?
You forgot Prime too.
To all newer guys.. herein lies a lesson.
You don't blow any horns .. city or air.. in a truck stop, day OR night.

I’d be mad af if I worked for Prime lmaoooo ol 58 mph governed headass
Good example of why, as a local driver, I avoid truck stops.
I do this same thing to Prime drivers when I pass them holding up the middle lane, oh what the hell, they hold up every lane going 55 mph
Awwww too bad, he had to wait for other drivers to move before he could move from one parking spot to another.
Prime recruits Swift drivers.
That love's is always packed, learn to have some patience dude.
Ah, trucking life! Don't miss that shit at all!
PRIME= Please Remember I'm Mildly Educated.
Well, at least he didn't go full Prime on em!
steve k You never go full Prime. Lol
Or is it full Swift?
This would of been better if it was a swift driver in his way.
Eld logs got him crazy and in a rush😂😂
He got that pissy all just to turn around and park ??

People should allow other drivers to proceed at the level of their competency and the confidence in their vehicle. However some drivers have neither.
I'm sure that was the only place to park in the whole state
Looked to me like he's in a spot to begin with, the other drivers don't know what he's doing . God i hate stupid people.....
HE NEEDS........PSYCHIATRIC HELP....HE DEFINITELY HAS....ANGER ISSUES!!!!
Im a new driver and i would like more advice on what to do as a truck stop so i can respect others around me.... any advice would be greatly appreciated oh and dou often have to wait for a spot at truck stop for sleep ?? Thanks im based out of Miami Fl....... brothers of the road please help
I can understand why he mad those guys parking the way doesn't help any
so all that commotion just so he can turn around and back into a spot over there which is all open, what happen to the spot he pulled up in was that not good enough? this driver obviousally is so impatient and doesn't make sense shouldn't be driving a truck
He must be in a big hurry to go slow on the interstate
Steering wheel holder
I know that stop very well, right B4 ya go up Mont eagle. I'm a local driver now, thank god I ain't got to deal with all that shit no mo
How do drivers get the job in the first place with that low of a mental capacity. Its really sad
my god someone like that doesn't have any business driving a semi truck thats scary imagine him on a highway with traffic
Nicky D Or in a "fast" food line at a Pilot!
what's the big deal? it's not like he's the only one who has to wait now is he...
such a childish behavior from the Prime guy
Probably all that selector switch action he's been through with that bad ass eaton auto n the turndown on that bad ass Detroit lmao
Door swingers have no excuse for bad behavior. Period.
Swinging doors sure beats being a knuckledragging flatbedder! I haven't pulled an open trailer in ten years, and my knuckles have finally healed and scarred over,. :) Flatbedders can get away with acting strange since they fall off the trailer pretty often, usually hitting their head.
That driver sounds like a trainer I had when I drove for Prime. The trainer I had was an arrogant a$$hole and didn’t give a 💩. Thank goodness I got a better trainer when I got back to the yard.
Who was your trainer?
Lol I got lucky. My trainer at times was strict but I understood why. I've made minor mistakes while training but I've always learned better afterwards. Passed my tests the first time through I was so happy lmao. Had my official license since June 2016. No accidents, clean record
trucker needs lots of patience.... stuck in traffic patience, long driving patience and slow speed patience. if anyone is fast car type of person, don't be a trucker. you will kill someone oneday.
*P* lease *R* emember, *I'm* *M* issouri
*E* ducated, *I* *N* eed *C* lasses. 'Prime' example of a complete jackass, in a hurry to get nowhere... It's not like it was the last parking spot. But give them credit, guys, at least they weren't parking on the fuel island, as so many mega carrier steering wheel holders are prone to do.
There's just something about that God awful air horn on these Freightliner Cascadias that just screams "I drive a pussy truck and it irritates the sand in my vagina"
PRIME,unsafe at any speed🖕
He had to poo poo...
He's got anger issues because he's driving the slowest POS on the road. It would be a mercy to all us truckers if Prime just disappeared.
No, there'd just be more trucks trying to pass other trucks that are going 1 mph slower.
He wanted to use all that room to back up so he didn’t hit anything 😭💩
Must have trained at swift
On the other hand there are a lot of jackasses that see someone trying to backup in maneuver into a spot but they wanna roll up right in front of you and block you basswood it looks like to me when the video is fast forward but I could be wrong
Exactly same shit happened to me up at the Newburgh NY pilot(tightest pilot in my opinion)
Maybe he thinks he’s Optimus Prime
Why didn't he stay where he was at? Looked like a marked parking spot? What am I missing other than the stupid driver?
Did he just talk shit to that dude in the brown shirt crossing that had nothing to do with this?
Trucking is waiting.
Can’t read the writing when it’s in red sir
Consider the source
Kennesaw should have noticed he was trying to park and given him space. If drivers had C b's anymore he could have just asked him to move is truck and no problem
or he could have pulled his big boy pants up and waited ten seconds
I guess that’s how they do things in THERE country ....know what I’m sayin??
PLEASE
REMEMBER
I
MORTGAGED
EVERYTHING
No accident no backing or turning into another rig then knock it off and keep your cool
Hey if you had to spend 11 hours every day getting passed and finger thrown at you for going 62 in the left lane or 35 up a hill holding everyone up you would be in a bad mood too hahaha
We've all been their running low on hour's running late traffic. But this driver drives for Prime . When you get passed by old people on hoverrounds and kids on pogo sticks its a lot worst .they cant5even flash people over or they would look like a disco ball
Time to find a new line of work when something so minor gets you so angry. The way he spun around and backed up is too fast in a truck stop. Calm down, it's not worth it too get so worked up.
James Mcouat Is that a joke? I thought it was obvious that he edited and sped up the video on purpose.
How du you OTR truckers get any sleep at truck stops
If you had the stress of driving a rig, surrounded by idiots on cell phones cutting you off, pulling in front of you, dumb drivers blocking lanes, bad weather, constant phone calls from dispatch and customers asking where you are and when you will get there...
Trying to get as many miles in while watching your 11 hour clock run out, while trying to plan for a place to park before your time runs out...
Do all that for 12 hours a day 7 days a week for a while and you will not have any problems sleeping !
One thing you steering wheel holders need to understand is that the man in the Pete 379 owns that parking lot and he will let you be on your way when he feels like it
We are stuck with Trump for a while, that's bad enough, without people who probably can't even spell Peterbilt without looking at their tattoo or belt buckle being in control of anything. :)
dumbest reply ever.
The 379 owns the parking lot because he doesn't have enough money to buy fuel.
