I drive tanker for Prime, Inc. I run out of the Decatur, IN terminal as a dedicated driver. We cover from western NY and PA to IL and MI to KY. I plan on doing videos showing how tanker works at Prime, where we run food grade, smooth bore tanks.

Prime Inc Tanker - New Truck Inspection
Get two 2x6 lumber under your landing gears
Nice job way to cover all the bases
How many miles till you come to your first stop to off load is there like a rule of thumb off load less then 200 mins also why is it un bathel???
Depends where the customer is. And unbaffled because it's impossible to sanitize the extra surfaces, which is clearly spelled out in the CDL manual.
I clean out grease traps one problem I have is the release pipe at the end end up freezing when I leave it overnight so then I’m left to torch it every morning for like 15 min my trailer has a heat switch would it cool that end release pipe ?? Or no?
Are you stayed in Prime
I noticed one of ur trailer has 6 ft hose connects to top and bottom like u shape hose. What hell that for
Do they do the tanker training
Ayup
Did. You take the sleep test?
Not with Prime. I did mine at an outside Dr so my insurance would cover it.
Nice thorugh video. I may have missed it,but on the endorsement is it going to be listed as automatic, or manual?
Automatic restriction is not an endorsement, it's a restriction. Like driving with corrective lenses.
while on lease can i haul for other companies?
Thank you for breaking all this down, I'm considering joining Prime and I'm trying to figure out how the whole thing works. I appreciate the info.
Seeing all these new prime tanker RUclips videos made me come check up on the OG. Hope all is well man!
I'm originally from leech lake MN, now I live in iowa and these guys cancel school with a frost over on the ground lol
Good evening sir. I was wondering, I have my tankers endorsement, I was wondering when getting a tanker job, do they train you and educate about their trailers and how to operate them accordingly?
Typically, yes
You forgot to show what to do in the driver's cabin. What button to press and how to manually get the tractor engine to pump out the product
Hey John❤❤❤❤Love your videos!! today Im delivering my second load with your help!!
At what moment you turned on and then off the PTO?
After everything is connected/right before you actually start pumping. Disconnect after you finish pumping & have reversed the pump & closed the valves. Then you disconnect everything.
Thank you John!!! Im about to pump at this Ponca City Location ❤
Today is my second load and Im sure I will be asked to pump..ty!!!❤
Is this a pump off with your pump? And if you were gonna use there pump would you only connect to the top connector instead of the one under the pump?
Yes and yes
So, the tire and mileage accounts are basically theft.
Lol, if you say so. Do you so consider the percentage of revenue that goes to Prime as theft too?
Most every time I've heard their tanks were full was always on a holiday week and the broker never pushed out the delivery date.
Whats the black thing on the floor next to the driver seat?
Thermos holder. Most people remove them
Are you a Trainer? Going to Springfield MO April 10th 2023 with Prime tanker division.
Sorry, I'm not
Old video but very helpful
Hello John I was looking at your video where do you get the plastic red dog ears clamp from?
Prime sells them at their terminals & many tank washes sell them too
Do they hire owner op?
Can you pay off the lease early?
how has this technology evolved in recent years?
It hasn't
is there anything coming up about no longer being able to route into the trucks coolant? thanks!@@JohnOgren
@@RockIslandYT no idea
wonder if i’d make the same pay getting on the nj dedicated as a company driver
What about venting the dome up at the top of the tanker?
Did you even watch the video? I literally mention venting immediately after hooking up my hydraulic lines & how I couldn't take video on top of the trailer
What's your truck number I've probably seen you out here in Ohio. I'm all over the state. Be safe 73's
Do you drop your airbags on the tanker?
Yes
Do primee Pay for tires? Or do you got too pay you’re own tires bill? What about tools?
Lease you pay. Prime does set aside 2.5 cpm into a tire fund for you from your revenue to pay for tire expenses - repair or replacement
No disrespect but lets say you get health insurance and when all said and done you’re walking away with $900-$1000 a week on average? Just to be home 4 days a month or 8 days every 2 months? Seems kinda rough.
Just started tanker and your pretrip is awesome. Thanks for the vid!!
Too log winded….. thanks for the video, but please get to the point.
8 Year update in two months? ;)
So I'm a Veteran and getting my CDL with a tanker endorsement from a military waiver. Do they do refresher or some kind of training for first-timer CDL? Do I need hazmat? I couldn't get a waiver for it.
You need to confirm with a recruiter, but those with no recent OTR experience would have to take the basic CDL training program (Prime's PSD). That is Prime's refresher course. Edit - hazmat is not required for the tanker or flatbed divisions, and is optional for reefer.
@John Ogren Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm aware of the refresher. I'm just getting more info. I applied with Schneider, too. I want my driving career to start off a tanker.
Thanks for the vids! Im starting driving tanker and currently in orientation and training in a few days. Its nice to get started early with my learning!
1st you speak like there's ever a situation where you would move the truck with the dome lid open. Secondly even a few degrees can cause you a whole bunch of problems around your valve. If product gets into the elbow bend of your valve and solidifies there it's a pain in the butt so maintaining the loaded temperature is probably a good idea.
Do you think you are telling me anything I don't know?
This guy is a college dropout, runs his mouth to you on FB then blocks you, no wonder he goes around making fun of people with college degrees to make himself feel better, he gave up on college for school buses, do you want sympathy for being a bus driver, I’m out of Fort Wayne, see you at Pridec so we can fix those keyboard warrior skills, green truck noted!
I’ll meet you ..John stay trucking …I’ll handle this epic loser for you
A friend of mine has just started TNT about a week ago in the tanker division. He doesn't feel it's for him and wants to go to the reefer division so his question is that he's been told that Prime looks down on that. Is this the case?
I would give it more than a week, but I also don't think Prime would be interested in having someone "stuck" doing tanker & likely to quit if they didn't switch.
as a lease op do they pay for there own repairs ? I see most ppl have a maintenance fee charged in fixed cost is that how all lease ops work ? I was thinking they pay for there repairs and not the company pls help
Yes, lease ops are responsible for repairs not covered by warranty. You can set up an emergency fund, either a set or variable amount per week, that you can use for anything you need, including repairs. While I have an e-fund, I rarely use it for repairs. Instead I use it for when I take time off. Prime will typically "break up" repair costs into smaller weekly payments with no interest rate.
You still driving for prime John and doing videos haven't seen any in a while
Ayup. Probably retired from videos
@@JohnOgren that's a shame I really liked your videos
Great video! For the newbies, there's basically 2 different types of tankers, some have pumps that pump the product in or out like this one, and then there are others where you pump air in or out of the tank creating a vacume or pressure. Two totally different operations.
I Appreciate this video
Great fuel points video but I’m not a trucker. You did mention the dash cam a couple of times thanks for that.
Very good vid, switched from fb to tanker. Thanks so much!
That's all tax deductible, so you get pretty much all that back.
