Why aren't you doing videos anymore?

Well did he get through tnt is he still trucking

Great video! Very helpful!

I want to come out to prime-have experience

Rob Lowe was a Marine?

How did i miss this great video whats up Ron

Welcome aboard rod!

Looking good guys!

Hey Cornbread, freight is SLOW and you guys are hauling first and final mile freight that pays low, aren't you cutting your own throat by training and cutting the pie smaller?

How may skills that the guess driver able to transfer from his military career?

It is a job but look like the new drivers want to run to youtube to do 5 minutes of shame.

Very honest and open in this video. Thank you and be safe driver. I’ll be coming to Prime in 3 weeks.

What happens when cameras and ai camera technology happen to be so good to be able to catch everything whats going off duty even with privacy curtain are closed. Even worst what if the camera amd ai camera technology happens to totally shut off the truck while the driver is still on tue road but is too short om hours to make it to the next truck stop?

Wish I had been born hundreds of years ago 😮😮

There's one thing as drivers , you guys should ask...who's gonna pay for the installation and the service to monitor those drivers?

Everything including eating that is considered a no-no will be used to coach and fire drivers that they want gone for whatever reason. All the cameras run 24/7. Its set parameters that trigger recording. Your not being very realistic and equating yesterday's views for todays problems

Trucking is the only occupation where breaking even is considered progress...lol. 😂

Those are AI cameras. The same way Teslas have multiple cameras around them are the same way they're trying to equip the trucks. Reason being that the AI will analyze the driver and road conditions. Tesla is a data company that happens to make cars. The truck drivers of today are no different. Those cameras serve to make autonomous trucks a reality of tomorrow. SAY NO TO DRIVER FACING CAMERAS.

i believe in doing all loads i get and i never say which loads i like or dont like , also some loads u dont like u end up liking because u figure out the place better , its best to not get emotional about loads and they know the tuff spots so if u get it done and u never say a word , i think it makes u look good

it all comes crashing down when u gotta find a empty after a drop

i think companies try to get their use out of drivers so if u dont go hard and waste time i think u will see lots of tuff loads and live loads and if u go hard and run out clocks they wont waste your clock they will keep u movin on drop and hooks assuming they got enough freight to play it that way

Thanks for the info

I understand that they may only be looking at certain things. I am definitely concerned and waiting for more information. But, regardless of what they are supposedly looking for, it just opens the door to a lot of issues. There is multiple little things that can become cause of termination if they really want to get you. I’m just not comfortable with that potential level of control. Especially if I commit to lease purchase. They have made major changes in just 6 months. I’m afraid to commit for 3 years.

Hey man! Just saw this one. Thank you for the shout out 🙏🏻. I haven’t been stalked around a truck stop yet🤣. Haven’t watched your camera video yet😬. That is one of the things that stopped me from ordering my lease purchase truck. I think all the time about how great it would be to train my dad and truck together. Not the best time right now though 😪

The economy is and has been papered over for about the last 2 decades. The debt levels are off the chart and it is time for America to repay our loans. Prepare for some financial pain.

What you said about the break was after the fact. Thanks for being honest and informative.

My PSD was flatbed, My TNT was reefer, Now I've been a TNT trainer for 1 year (HARTIJ). Will always be a rookie as will always be and keep learning.

I try to use a fuel stop as a 30 when I can. Clean windows, empty garage, fuel truck, walk around checking truck and trailer, move ahead, go inside quick, and by then your 30 is done.

I just found your channel the other day. I'm a TNT trainer (HARTIJ) and I like to watch others that may help me be a better trainer. Looking forward to more of your work.

I was thinking about prime but now no. I will never ever work for a company that has driver facing cameras. You all can try to justify it all you want its still them micro managing you. The office personal dont have a camera watching them checking their productivity. Its their way to tell their drivers your idiots and cant be trusted. They will tell you there are triggers but believe it they will record everything.

I drove for Penske for 2 years, they had driver facing cameras. The camera is only triggered during a critical events, 8 seconds B4 the event and 8 seconds after. It will not detect you touching your Phone or Nav system unless, like B4, during a critical event ie. Hard brake, following too close for more than 3 seconds, or lane departure without signal. I was involved in a rear end crash, and the truck that hit me from behind triggered my camera. Safety sent me the whole thing and it showed how far I was thrown forward, they called me before I can call the cops. It's not all bad.

There is no limit to what this technology can do. Their ultimate goal is to have the ai predict based upon mood and behavior who is most at risk of wrecking their truck. It will learn from all of us the subtle nuances when a person gets angry or when someone is desperate or has some hidden or unknown illness. The microphones may not be recording audio but the ai could transcribe whatever it picks up into text and even if that data isn’t shared with prime the AI could use it to determine how happy or unhappy the driver is, if they are acting erratic or are having family problems. It’s really crazy that we are going to be lab rats in this experiment. It wouldn’t surprise me if the mega carriers are getting financial kickbacks by forcing the drivers to participate in this program.

SPD has no inward facing cameras. We have PC. If you have flatbed experience, come on over! Tell them JRKelly sent you.

Insurance companies are pushing it.

I don't like it!

i think the safety cameras are a good idea for rookies and drivers who show they need it , i havnt had a incident in 2 years and that was a hard brake but im almost 2 years safe and a couple weeks ago i had a false alarm the incident recorder came on for no reason so i stopped and called safety and they told me to go to a terminal and have the shop look at the system so i turned in truck and company put me in a motel and shop did some trouble shooting and all kinds of money and time was wasted to figure out nothing it kinda makes me laugh but its all about safety and i only have a outward camera so now your talking a whole nother sytem to maintain , i bet they will turn them off on some drivers whether or not they tell u who knows but u dont make money when guys are hangin out in motels because of false alarms

First time viewing your videos and really enjoyed the honesty. I am in a similar position. Drove for years when younger and then stopped when the step kids came along. Now the youngest graduated high school, and the driving bug has resurfaced. I'd be interested in see the route you took to get back in. I have talked to a couple places, and they basically wanted me to go thru their CDL Academy and pay the tuition.

The system is a lot more invasive than you are thinking

Prime is going to see you naked 😂

The cameras only come on when there is a event

Prime just keep getting worse and worse

Fellow Prime driver here and would like to hear your thoughts about turning down loads. I’ve turned down several loads in the last 3 years but I always seem to get a worse deal on the next load than if I had taken the original load. Have you run into this issue

No sympathy. I drove long-haul for 22 years and Prime was always considered a joke. Pay and pay and pay on a lease and then get a big balloon payment at the end. Work your tail off - and then they say, "Oooops, sorry - no freight - dead head someplace else. I never drove for Prime - always heard too many bad stories about them. Never drove for Swift - never drove for J.B.Hunt - never drove for England - never drove for Werner. I always drove as a company driver, I lived in my truck and didn't have a house payment or a family to take care of. If I had to sit....oh well - that means the company wasn't making any money either. I retired in 2017.

Thoughts on the inward camera situation?

Very good video. I love Prime and I’m feeling the same way you are. Even though I make more than what I made before I came out here, I’m not going to make any big purchases the way this economy is right now. I’m just going to get rid of debts and continue stacking. That’s all I can do until things get better.

Market fluctuations will always happen. It's a cleansing of the market

Enjoy going down with the ship
