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/

Heated? My guy was probably the nicest officer I've ever seen.

That will go on your license and you'll catch a few CSA points. I got a warning for having 1 clearance light out and it showed up on my report when I applied for another company 2 years later. They still hired me though. It's not a big deal.

That dot officer wasn't heated lol he was way more reasonable then any other one I've dealt with

The officer was professional. Always make sure the trailer and tractor registration and DOT inspections are current! As for the lights, spray your pigtails with PB Blaster every once in awhile to clean the connections and take a shop towel to clean out the receptacle. Great job handling everything. Proud of you for being cooperative and professional about the whole process. A true class act ❤

I like watching your content. You are a very professional operator and I'm learning a lot about tanker operations. 35 years behind the wheel but only 4 months hauling a tank. May I give you 2 observations? 1. Part of your pretrip is finding and verifying that you have valid (not expired) registration on your tractor and trailer. 2. I always carried a small can of "brake part" or "electrical" spray cleaner. Quite often, grease or road grime or whatever got into either the tractor plug or the trailer receiver and few squirts into both sides causing havoc. The little shims work well but there is nothing like a good cleanout. You yourself noted all the crud on the back of your cab, and just think all that crud had plenty of time to work itself into your electrical connection. (P.S. that spray cleaner works like magic to remove grease form your clothes, too!)

Also, evern though you got the lights working, you were still placed out of service per the record. So, you DO get CSA points. I have been driving for 26 years. Been down this road before

Government required photos of the reason for the stop is a new one. Wonder if that’s a state requirement. Rex you did a fine job during the inspection. The officer was professional and on point during the interaction. The csa points will be assessed on your PSP account. It does not affect your license. It’s nothing to lose sleep over. Stay safe brother

Normally I watch you from Manchester, but I’m holidaying in Mexico and watching you at the pool. Continue to stay cool bruh.🥶

Hey Rex, cool video! Glad your trailer lights started working again! Be safe!

The way you said Lancaster is correct. Where you went to pick up your next load in klingerstown in roughly like an hour to 1 1/2 hours away from me. Be safe out there.

I’ve had issues with trailer lights before as well, if I notice the lights are flickering or not working try shoving a folded small piece of paper where you plug the pigtail into the trailer. Works majority of the time. Enjoy the videos! Keep it up

It was weird seeing that west bound exit for Morris in a video! Lol now you’re getting into my neck of the woods!! I’m a local driver based out of Ottawa, IL just a little further west down I-80!

Keep on trucking

Rex, you're lucky, never been stopped. I haul hazmat and get stopped 2 to 3 times a month for inspection. Always the same, see your hauling hazmat, let's do an inspection. It will go on your CSA for 3 years.

Un plug it from the truck next time too…. And get a test light so you can see if it’s in the pig tail or not

There are no hub seals on your drives, he was checking the lug nuts, also I guarantee that lighting issue was caused by the coolant seeping into the connection, get it washed asap and clean the pigtail

Cool music on the driving view.

Okay. I'm calm now. I had that happen in Connecticut many years ago when I first started. I was escorted to a rest area where they were doing inspections. Since then? I've never been stopped for that. But, have had that happen a few times. Like everything else there's circuits and relays and it could be soooooo many things, including shiming up the pigtail/ plug on the trailer. Sometimes? You can also take a pocket knife and "" spread the prongs "" on the plug that's on the trailer. The guy was very good and professional and just wanted to go by the book and didn't have a grudge. 99.9% of the police don't. I'm 62 and drove for 38 years. YES, I've met and been at the mercy of a few asshat cops. BUT, overall? These guys and women have to deal with life on the highways just like we do! Safe travels and God bless! PS, it's Langkister.

Hey Rex I am a subscriber from Afghanistan 🇦🇫, I really love your videos and I wait every single day for them, Thanks for that Be safe

Ask three people from Lancaster how to pronounce it and you'll get three different answers. That happens a lot in PA for some reason A couple years ago I went to a show in Wilkes-Barre. The singer asked the crowd how to pronounce that and got about the same level of crowd noise from Wilkes Bear, Wilkes Burr and Wilkes Berry. Nobody knows what's going on here

Gonzales TX did me way dirtier. This guy was actually nice. Mine was a super trooper who hit me for little every little thing he was a dickhead.

Your correct rex lancaster pa!!!

Wait. So, he did an inspection and gave you paperwork? Was that a warning? Also, would it have been better to stay on the side of the road with triangles instead of driving to the nearest rest station?

Also wouldn’t be bragging about $2.60 a mile loaded freight…..

the why you usually say is right

Does prime has routes in las vegas or west side of the country?

These money grabs enforcement DOTS officers always try to find something wrong regardless of the situation. Pre-trip doesn't prevent anything man made not to breakdown. Goodluck.

You still get CSA points on your CSA record but not on your MVR. Just be aware that some company’s follow CSA points closely. By the way CSA points are multiplied based on how recent the violation occurred.

Sounds like the pigtail plug is a bit wonky if you put a zip tie or something to shim that sucker up might save you next time lol Stay safe out there Rex

Level 1 inspection went well, sucks when the DOT is an ass. No harm no foul and life goes on

So i was driving around today and a question came into my head! So a Officer puts you out of service and then leaves. How do they know you won’t just drive or how do they know when it is fixed so they can put you back into service! Rex- I grew up in Republic Mo but now live halfway between Buffalo and Rochester NY. Stay safe in your travels!

Hey there Rex! You handled the lighting issue with the officer very well. The fact that your logbook and everything else that was in order is a reflection of the great job you're doing. I think Prime should double your pay! 😁 Keep up the good work and keep plugging away. Maybe Prime has "penciled you in" for an Executive Vice President position at $200,000 per year. 👍

Why is so dark In the cab? U don’t know how to turn on the interior lights? The officer wasn’t heated, he was cool and collective.

#1 I will never ever come to Crime inc! #2 13:00 Me thinks that the officer has taken advantage of your good nature and LIED to you. They try and smooth it over and tell you that it wont hit your PSP record. NOT TRUE senior! Its like when they tell you that a warning wont hit your record. AGAIN not true

I've got

Lancaster is pronounced "Langcaster" 🙂 (you asked us to let ya know)

Dud u r a company driver or owner?

I’ll trade you loads my PA load down to GA after a 350 mile DH only pays $1900

you could do with trim on top loool.

Lancaster is pronounced Lank-is-ter

So I wonder if that out of service will be on your psp

Inspection are good for tou and the company as long if you have all your shit together… if its not, its going to be a long inspection. 😂😂😂
