    Junior is not the only one, a few days prior to his ban, a couple, Ball and Chain were told they could video, could no longer mention, or show Prime, or any of it's customers. Junior also commented in the comments section Steven was not the reason, and was onboard with the filming, so it was not his trainee.
    I found 3 others as well, so it was not just Junior, and he was not the first one. There are some I found that no longer mention the company name, and their style changed after being dark a few days, they no longer show their loads, securing it, or their students at work, just other misc. stuff.
     
    Bud A. and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    @dazoe in reply, my wife is friends with a woman who drives solo OTR for them. That came from her. Not much details, however. Guess it's kinda hush-hush.

    I've wathced a few of Randee Lewis' videos, he seems like an okay guy. That said I'm not huge on vlogs. Also, theres Allie Knight who drives for Jim Palmer & has been to SpriMo a few times that I've seen. (I liked her better when she was flatbedding)

    It's interesting seeing the 2 different directions the companies took. Prime shut down the vlogers. Jim Palmer embraced the vloger. I still wonder... Who is naming the trucks?

    I just looked at Allie Knight, she drives for Palmer, but does not pull Prime trailers, and is not assigned to the Prime account anymore, or at least that is what she put in her vlog. She said she handed in all the Prime cards she had, was switched from a QC to Peoplenet, has a new truck number, and is pulling for a dedicated non-Prime account.

    "Truckers take care of yourself! Thank you Junior for being there for and with him until the very end! May the Father Bless and keep you safe. In addition: I notice the comment below. There were many things indicating even in your videos that Rodney was in transition and leaving us. He was telling you and sometimes in your own words you were confirming it!"

    A very sad post from Rodney's sister.

    He doesn't mention Prime, but I can read between the lines who he's talking about...

    He is still making videos just NOT while has a student on the truck, he said he is going to be running solo for a while. And Rodeny's death had NOTHING to do with Training, and should have been caught by a competent doctor before he was ever allowed to drive. He would have NEVER been allowed behind the wheel

    If you work for the man,you follow the mans rules.
    If they bought their own truck they could post
    All the YouTube videos they want.
