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 😊 Check out my MERCH!!! trucking-with-rex.myspreadshop.com/

Can you get black rubber air lines ( service & emergency) for your tractor? They don't get stiff, crack and break easily. Even in warmer weather they're nice and bendable. Absolutely carry a "" Carpenters Hammer "". Yeah a rubber mallet too. Just be careful banging on the brakes. I always try to hit the shoe and the drum flush. Don't wail on it as much as a firm, steady tap,tap,tap. Leave your trailer brakes released when you park. Just set the tractor brakes. Stay warm and safe travels

Just use a spray bottle with water and rubbing alcohol to loosen your brakes if they freeze. Don't use a hammer on metal. Rubbing alcohol. Is 128° below zero for freezing point.

You get 14 hours of clock per day and you can drive for 11 hours per day. The other 3hr difference is for on duty time for load/unloading etc. hope this helps
