    Anyone know what happened to all the Prime Vloggers? I noticed a few posts on YouTube that Prime has said no more Vlogging, most of the Vloggers just stopped posting without explanation. I enjoyed some of them, but I guess someone messed up, anyone have the inside scoop?

    The one I saw was a husband/wife (Might be cohabitants) they could no longer mention or show the company name in any of their videos. If you search YouTube will notice none of the other Prime Vloggers have posted in days, looks like Prime came down on all of them, not just the trainers with students. I was hoping someone had the inside scoop as to how far Prime went.

    Vlogging in general is not good for business. You see a lot of vloggers go bouncing from one company to another. People tend to spend so much time on making vlogs that they don't have time for driving their trucks.
     
    Bakerman and ASmallFleetDriver Thank this.

    Two former prime vloggers who are gone...


    Loshawn parks and Matt eso

    Matt eso gas since been with three other companies since he left Prime.

    If you want to be a YouTube superstar then stay home and make vids.
     
    Heathar and Scottyboy Thank this.

    She's on that forum for idiots and run by idiots. Maybe she's ok, I don't know. They have some clown puttering around town in a Swift day cab giving career advice, which tells me plenty. He refers to Swift as a finishing school for new cdl grads. Bunch of morons on there.
     
    Bud A., nax, tommymonza and 5 others Thank this.

    I would imagine it's like this

    Opinions are like ########, everyone has one and they all stink.

    People probably see these guys doing something that they felt was unsafe or wrong or made a comment about how they do something and someone felt it was unsafe or wrong, they called the company or the fmcsa and lodged a complaint and then Prime's legal team got involved

    Had something to do with Liability, since Rodney died in training, in Junior's truck, almost. Sad.

    What is your source? I assumed it was because his current student started out terrible at shifting, hardly looked at the mirrors, and had trouble with general coordination. "Inches from disaster" - quote from one of Junior's own video. I assumed Prime asked him to stop posting videos of students for fear of damage to company reputation, or a worse lawsuits.

    It is sad, his videos were very informative and I was learning a lot from them. To Junior's credit Steven was getting better in just the few days he was with him. He appears to be a good trainer.
