    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 🤙

      Hey Rex, is there a way of viewers like myself send you gifts? Like a PO Box or something? I have some custom stuff ideas for your truck that I would like to send to you.

    Rex, please don't disconnect the abs light. It is not a violation for it to be on, but if you get inspected and they find it is disconnected, that is a violation and you will get cited.
    DOT does not cite you anymore for the light due to it's a constant problem that can be fixed, you hit a bump and it can come back on. Just a FYI.

    Take the CB to a good CB shop and they can easily replace the on/off dial. It will save you some bucks! Enjoying your journey. Buy your next truck, don't lease it. No limit on your mileage that way.

    Hey BRO,
    What is your refrigerator brand and model?
    Where did you purchase it?
    Along with pre-planning, I am doing some pre-purchasing,lol.
    Just getting things lined up so when I get my truck, I have things lined up.
    Be safe BRO, and I will see you out there soon.

    • @truckingwithrex

      Sorry don’t know the model currently at home, purchased the fridge at the prime terminal for $800 and $50 for them to install it. Prime deducted my paycheck $100 per week til paid off.

    A lot of lease operators keep failing , complaining about pay , dispatcher issues , and just Prime being a “cult” or a very bad company in general. My question is what are you doing different that is making you so successful at this knowing that you hopped in the deep end right out the gate?

    • @truckingwithrex
      @truckingwithrex  Рік тому +2

      #1 I NEVER complain or talk about prime or my dispatcher in a negative way
      #2 I NEVER deny loads “so I’m a team player in primes 👀
      #3 I driver slow “to save on fuel cost”
      #4 I utilize primes recommended fuel stops “this saves me $80-$200 per week
      # I NEVER really ask for home time “living in Springfield on the inedible tanker division routes me to the house 1-3X per week”.

    so you save in fuel but lose with cents per mile- 60mph at 50 cents is 30 bucks an hour (you used 5.9gallons saving 12 cents) 65mph x 50 cent is 32.50 you are losing 2.50hr check it with a nerd, and being the truck earns far more than 50 cents that 2.50 is probably over 10 bucks vs saving 12 cents. mif you see this repond in a future video
