@@TwiztedDhey big brother I just got a question are you still teaching over there? I'm fixing to put in my application and there's a couple guys that do videos but I'm going to put your code down on the application for the referral because I really enjoy your content I hope you're there man when I get there I'd love to meet you pick your brain I'm studying a CDL book that I printed out mid 2023 and my question I suppose right now would be is that stuff still valid where am I just wasting time? I'm currently in New Mexico The Farmington area if you're familiar oh and what is the time frame between I put in my application get accepted whatever have to go take the UA what is the time frame between that and my ship out and arrival there?
Love to hear back from you brother I appreciate you very much
Im going for my CDL in a month so im soaking up these kind of videos and this trainer is absolutely amazing. The patience and his tone would make anyone feel comfortable and capable. I wish i could train with him. Good job to the student as well. Safe driving.
You can do it!
Is it easy?
You got this ❤
I'm going to training next month.
@@mybeautifullife9333 💜💜💜we got this sis
Mirrors are one of the most important things in truck driving. I was taught to check your mirrors at every intersection or 10 seconds whatever comes faster.
The best part is when the students actually listen and follow directions and want to learn i have seen some so cocky thinking they already know how to drive a truck not listening to the trainer at all
Very patient and explained things very well to the students. I start orientation on Monday and can't wait to gain some great knowledge from the trainer.
O yeah it's gonna be a journey
I agree, He's very patient on explaining stuff with the Students.
i love his attitude so calm and he knows that everything is under control,
You seam to be a very patient and experienced Trainer. Great job and Thank you for sharing
Thank you I try
The student did fine and the instructor was patient and teaching. I do remember those days during my beginning trucking experience
Thabk you
Observations. 1. Gloves ALWAYS when working outside of the truck. Hand injuries are VERY expensive and hurt. 2. ALWAYS make your FNG back into a space. When it's their truck they can use pull-through's. (unless you really have to pee) 3. NEVER take off your seat belt when you move a truck. 4. When you are backing a trailer, and you have your head out the window looking at the back of the trailer, if you want the trailer to go right, you turn your wheel to the right in 1/4 increments.
Thanks for the insight are you a trainer also
@@TwiztedD 26 years with JB and Schneider. Lucky you don't have shifting anymore!
@nobull4414 right I remember teach guys how to shift. It's not in gear.... yes it is.... OK that why it moves around like this lol
Very great patience in training! Your trainee just needs to relax a bit more and loosen up he seems really nervous and unsure of himself. Nervousness sometimes leads to accidents. And I remember a great deal of shifting through NYC traffic first starting out lol I never had the leisure of automatic 😅.
All great points in your observation, however when you’re critiquing someone you also highlight what they’ve done correctly. In your after action review, you gave recommendations/improvements. You never mentioned things to sustain and/or acknowledged what he did correctly.
This is great I use to work for prime for 2 years we were all that guy at some point love the patience you have man
Thank you
I learned all of this in CDL school. I noticed not all school teaches and train people the same. I'm glad I got a lot of hands on during the 160 hours of school.
Right on
Where did you end up going to learn
@mackpersonal8520 I'm in Tennessee so I went to Tennessee CDL Inc. The school training is pretty intensive and covers majority of these things. A lot of hands on and drive time as well.
I really like this dudes vibe, super respectful and patient with his students
Thank you
Man you and Junior Honduras are great trainers in this profession. Really appreciate your guidance to your student,is amazing. If all trainers does as you're doing,alot of guys won't find it difficult to get their CDL.
I appreciate that!
As always, great video.
You can tell the first kid driving has no idea of the size of rig as in weight, length he just drive down the road! You have a lot of patience my friend that was scary asf to watch!
You’re telling me, no ideas how to take a turn wide or swing the opposite way before cutting it back. No idea about stopping distance, doesn’t check mirrors, rides breaks instead of using jakes or letting off the accelerator. Automatic trucks make it too easy for people to get in these truck and think they’re drivers
dude mad respect to you man! im excited to get my CDL I currently drive a 2024 5500 cummins dump truck and haul a 20 ft lowboy with a mini ex or a skid steer and just backing it into the shop with having everyone parked on each side I've had to 90 it out some times and then pull forward a smidge or sometimes I get it all in one shot :D I'm sure the 53 ft trailers are practically the same but a bit harder since they're def longer
You're doing a hell of a job
Thank you sir.
I have been thinking about becoming a truck driver/ getting my cdl for over a year. To be honest I’m terrified and intimidated of it. It’s a lot of responsibility but I am looking forward to it. And studying up and watching countless videos!
You got this come get it
How you doing?
Been trucking for 2 years my self and the biggest advice I can give to any one that wants to get into this game. Always have patience nothing in this industry happens quickly. If you don’t have patience it will just make your day worst.
💯 I agree
😅Hey, I've got something for you. I was watching around the 20 minute mark when he was pulling into the pull thru to park... you're telling him go left, go right, wait to turn, turn now.. but you don't tell him why he's waiting to start the turn or why he goes left or right. And he's just blindly following what you tell him to do. How is he supposed to learn when he has no idea what he is doing these maneuvers for. Like waiting to turn so the trailer tracks more to the left to clear the other truck. But he does not know the reason you say wait to start the turn is to get the trailer in position. Go left, go right means nothing if he doesn't understand why he is doing it. You do the same thru the whole video. At 22:14 you start giving directions again and I'm looking at that poor guy sitting there looking so confused. Your telling him which way to go and turn but not why he's doing it. You say let's just put it over there and then your pointing and telling him how to turn. You see and know where you want the trailer.. but that poor guy is just looking in a general direction of "over there", but he has no clue what you're wanting him to do or what space you're wanting him to park that trailer.. he's just blindly turn the trailer "over there".
Why not try explaining exactly what you wanting him to do... like saying we're going to take the trailer to the far left and park in the open space between those trailers. Or explain how when you turn the tractor farther left that it will pull the trailer over more to the left to position the trailer where you need it to go when your making the turn or starting your backing.
You just saying turn left, turn right, turn farther... that does not help him learn how to maneuver the truck to make his turns or position the truck for backing because he has no idea where he's going he's just turn left until you tell him it's enough.
I just see him so confused listening to your directions.
If you look at him at 23:08 your giving him direction to get set up to back in with those trailers. Watch him.. he does not once look in his mirrors he's just spinning that steering wheel in whatever direction you say and he's watching you for approval or his turn direction and how much to turn. He has no situational awareness and no idea what that trailer is doing. He's just spinning the steering wheel where you tell him to.
Wow! Great video. Literally like a virtual reality game hahahaha😂. Love it.
Lol 😆 🤣 😂 thanks
I've done my application for Prime Inc and spoke with a recruiter! Everything looks good, I just got to get my CLP. Once I've gotten that, I will be heading to Springfield, MO for my training and I CAN'T WAIT!! I can't wait to start my career as a trucker, enduring and overcoming all the challenges that come with it. It's going to be so worth it. I am excited to get my training from Prime In. I was referred by a previous Prime driver who had nothing but good things to say about the company. I am looking forward to everything this industry has to offer. I really hope I get trained by the guy in the video. He seems very cool, levelheaded and patient! I love looking at these videos to get a glips of how my training will be with Prime!
Let's goo welcome to the fam
Thank you so much for these types of videos i start my CDL training in 4 months and one of the biggest things i was worried about is having to ride with a trainer because of my social anxiety but this helpede realize their just trying to help u on ur path
💯 they are there to guide you
Great vid!!! Keep them coming
Thabk you will try
I like it when you are giving training opportunities to young drivers ❤
Thank you
We need more mentors like this man!!
Thank you
My instructor absolutely loved me when he trained me to drive, because I wouldn't stop asking questions. Not because I didn't know something. I drove the M900 series semi trucks in the Army, so I knew quite a bit about them, but I'd rather ask questions and make sure I'm doing something correctly and to the SOP the company has laid out, than to guess and mess something up. AQA=Ask questions always.
100%
I've the same kind of instructor when I did my LZV in Netherlands(same like LCV in Canada) driving license. Smooth and friendly and with a lot of patience. My deepest respect to you 🙏
Greetings from Ukraine!🇺🇦
Peace and Love to all of us!
Very nice!
Great video
Thanks!

100%
Same, I’m goin for my A’s in A month
Good training
Many many thanks
You are a very patient and awesome trainer
I try and it's better when my students listen well
I hope I have a trainer like this guy. Very pro
Sweet video! Are there two trainees at a time assigned per truck nowadays for the OTR training?
No I just have multiple students right now so I run local freight
Great video.
Tha k you
I'm Studying for my CDL permit in NV. I appreciate the Video content on the road with the Trainee, Keep it coming sir! I very much appreciate your videos..
Best of luck!
Couple observations. Never turn on your lights before hooking electrical. Blows fuses, particularly in Volvos. And the new driver isn’t watching his mirrors enough. No surprise is a good surprise. He needs to stay left more when making right turns. But hey, it’s Prime.
You are a good trainer calm and friendly person
Thank you
Good trainer 👍🏾
Thanks 👍
Man you are a great trainer wow!
I appreciate that!
A+ for the trainer
Thank you
Can’t wait to get my cdl luckily for me I do yard goat at my work so already know how to park trailers
Let's gooooooo
This is great to see as I’m thinking of getting into trucking. I just turned 50 and it’s time for a career change.
I hear that
@@TwiztedD I’ve been doing IT for the past 20 years and I’m tired of servers and computers. Move onto trucking for the next 15-20 years. I’m a bigger guy though, 5’10”, 350 pounds so hopefully I’ll be able to do the pre-trip Ok. Getting under to check the king pin and stuff.
@@jaycaissie2311 IT? Are you a coder? Isn't IT generally is way better with both pay & standard of living? Why would you switch if you're already raking in 6 digits?
Personally I would pick IT over trucking(I think). I am 40yrs old & about to start CDL school in about 2 weeks, then right after I have 2 code bootcamps I am trying line up. I am trying to get into IT but will use the CDL as backup just in case I can't find a job after the bootcamps. Might seems greedy but I need to do everything to support my family...
@@xhuynh23 my background is system admin, not a programmer plus I don’t have most up to date skill set anymore as I’ve been working with same company for 16 years and they don’t upgrade things often. I’m in Canada on the east coast so salaries aren’t as high as Ontario or out west. I’m sitting in the $60k a year area. From few truckers I’ve been talking too this is easily attainable after year’s experience trucking. I’m just getting tired of dealing with servers and computers.
@@jaycaissie2311 is it true you can make good money in IT? I hear it’s pretty boring work lol
Great video Juggalo.
Whoop whoop mmwcl
I’m going to get my cdl this summer
Let's goooo
how long do new drivers ride with a trainer before going solo?
im with werner, im just waiting on a trainer at the moment. as im watching this, im like yea im definitely ready to get otr
For reals
Yo what’s up twisted D ? i’m learning alot from your videos . matter of fact things i feel like my trainer should be teaching me . I was wondering if there are specific things that he should be mandatory teaching me ? because im almost at my 50,000 miles and i still don’t feel confident with the qualcomms menus or the prime inc app menus or the reefer menus . should i try switching trainers ? ive learned most things i know from Your channel and similar channels . sorry for the long post , just a lil worried before i’m out on my own . thank you
Communication is key express that to your trainer
@@MichelleSpence-pw4bp I am the trainer
Check mirrors every 8 to 10 seconds 🎉🎉❤❤❤..I can't wait to start trucking school
Let's do it
In Germany we drive under the trailer and when we hear that the king pin is engaged, we put the forward gear in gear and drive once to see if it is locked correctly, only then do we go out and close the trailer. Greetings from Germany
we do the same thing but we make sure no to jump it
I'll tell anyone when you go out with a trainer and your driving keep this in your head every second, really every second, your in control of that track trailer your responsibility ECT so handle it like that be comfortable knowing you earned it's in your control and be eager to learn.
Whicj terminal are you at BossMan? & Are all Prime Inc trucks Automatic?
I wish to have a nice trainer like you i just got my CDL
Good morning. I have been a Registered Nurse for quite some time but have always wanted to do this. I have my CLP test in 2 weeks. I really appreciate you explaining about the skid plate, kingpin and making sure there is no gap. I have studied about it, but your explanation made it very clear. That sun/fog is blinding. I like your calm, patient demeanor. I am sure your Rookie appreciates that. **Great job Rookie** I am watching this 9 months later, so I am sure your Rookie is out on the open road by now. Thanks again. Sandee
Im so glad there’s automatic semis. Some goof told me there was only manuals
Nope
With no manual experience, I hated learning manual the first 2 weeks or first active 10 hours. Once you get it, you get some pride out of it. Majority of people should be pretty good at it after 24 hours of actively practicing.
@@drblitz3092 The way the industry and truck manufacturers are heading, manuals will be gone by 2030. These transmissions they have in these auto's now are no slouch.
@@zach071591ya, but it makes it way easier to get a local job if you need one. Makes it look like you do more than the minimum and. If they ever need to move a manual, they got you
The kid did good lil praise goes a million miles
Yes sir
Got my manual, have a few apps, and watching videos. I want to soak in as much as possible before I decide to make a leap into this huge investment (with great rewards).
I wonder if new trainees fail once, will they have to repay another $6k to retake the entire thing. Or are they given a certain amount of re-tries?. I don't want to waste so much money for nothing (orlando, florida).
Awesome content.
It's free here to retest
@@TwiztedD At Prime, Inc. as a whole? Wooooww that's good news.
I Just have to ask: Does Prime use an accident that occured in Harrisburg, Pa in July of 2006 for training purposes? I will leave it with thatvor this will become more of a rant.
Whoop Whoop ninja! I just passed my CDL-A here in Colorado Springs and am just starting my career! You hiring bahahaha Good luck training rookies like me!
Whoop whoop mmwcl!! Congratulations
@TwiztedD thanks homie! I interview with Core-Mark tomorrow. Still debating on flatbed or tanker for a longterm goal. I'll be moving to South Carolina come December if you have any tips. MMFWCL
What happens if another driver picks up your load by mistake does this ever happen
I can't say I wasn't there before, we all live and learn
💯 💶 💯 💶 💯
Stay safe drivah
Super video 🖐️👏👍🥰🇨🇿
I feel like prime has the best training in the the trucking industries
I feel that also
damn i remember i was there with you a couple weeks ago 😂
Yup lol 😆 🤣 😂
Used to drive for Trans Am reminds me of my training days WHOOP WHOOP by the way!
Whoop whoop mmwcl
How often does the training happen? Like does it start monthly or a couple times a year?
Every week a new class comes in
@TwiztedD ok cool! Thanks man for the reply. Really thinking about doing this.
Screw that curb, he had it coming lol. I'm new to this, and I noticed I didn't see any shifting. I thought all trucks were manual. Is this a automatic?
We have automatics
It's ppl who never ask or question that are concerning. We all know u don't remember well unless exposed over & over. I appreciate questions.
Always
They gave that kid the cdl for sure
do you recommend training on manual or automatic shifter for CDL? I'm feeling not confident while I'm driving manual, and it's more stressful than enjoying for me, so, just want to know is it ok to train cdl with automatic. Will it be easy to find the job after that?
Automatic would be easier and most companies will hire you with the restriction on your license because they are using automatics anyways.
That's a good point
@@rayshaunedwards6572 thanks for the explanation, I found automatic has less fuel consumption and is safer for the driver, you will not lose your attention when shifting gears
@@s4d429 that depends you can get good mileage in a manual. And other than the new automatics it’s easier backing in a manual. It’s tricks you can learn to driving manual that you can shift without the clutch. I got my cdl a few years ago and the last time I drove a manual was my road test.
@TwiztedD I just feel being new trying to get experience it's going to be easier to find a job if u have both under my belt I'm going to get my cdl for manual transmissions
I want to drive semis. You know what I. Going to sign up and get a CDL immediately
Come with it!!
@@TwiztedD where is your school?? man i have a huge history of driving coach busses with trailers and etc. i am really interested but I cant afford the CDL school. watching that guy learning to back up the trailer just made me itch and want to do it. i love backing up trailers.. i feel like it would be a great job for me and a chance to really get out of this tough situation im in as far as financial and job stability.. i am a single father with a 7 yr old daughter and we lost her mother so i have been raising her myself. I just need to find a way to get into this deal!! any information that would lead me in the right direction would be much appreciated. i will be looking on the websites and calling some people today. right now
Hey I was going to go through Amazon to get my CDL license any advice?
Study and listen
what cam are you wearing? is it a gopro or your phone?
Gopro mounted
@@TwiztedD Hero12?
How are you supposed to learn without patience or a sense of wanting to learn more??
How can you teach someone without patience?
He has the right to ask as many questions and receive calm and collective answers as he did🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yep
Hello how would home time be for me if I’m from Arizona? I have my cdl but no experience
Yeah they get people home anhwhere
Hey I’m 18. Got the Class A CDL Permit. I feel confident about getting the license on my skills exam. What would u recommend for someone like me at my age to try to find jobs? Most companies want 21 or above
Keep your head up and keep pushing be a safe driver, protect that cdl. You have a super start in live be smart and your doing great.
@@TwiztedD thank you so much. November 2nd is my skills test with the new CDL skills test. Appreciate it bro!
Is that either a very quiet truck or a very good camera?
Camera
