    I just came across this today and I’m in disbelief of this young mans determination and his drive of not being limited by his physical condition. He is truly an inspirational! I wished him all the best and life full of happiness and may he continue defying the odds.... I’m curious how does he do his pre trip and post trips since he can’t reach engine compartment??

    Driver I feel your determination. I was crushed under a pick-up truck. Was paralysed for 2 months before I gained feeling back in my feet. Was out of work for a year. The will to drive trucks again pushed me through the pain and hard times of learning to walk again. I did it brother. Watching this video brought tears to my eyes. Mad respect for you driver. Mad respect. You never gave up. God bless you.

      This is amazing I just posted I have osteogenesis imperfecta and used to work for a few years but ended up getting hurt now I can’t work and I absolutely 100% depend on Medicaid and Medicare to help me I’m scared to lose it so scared that i am accepting my future of being homeless only living on $700 a month because one fall and I can literally be ruined health wise and financially for the rest of my life. . . . For example I fell a few year back landed on my butt no biggie to most but I broke my back both my legs and my left arm and my medical bills were over $150k a year later up and walking again I catch my foot wrong go to grab my bed and dislocated my shoulder shattering my whole shoulder blade and arm. . . . No not playing victim I am being held hostage by life itself I am scared to lose my health assistance and I will probably be homeless here in a couple years only living on that $700 a month. And yes I respect the hell out of that man if things were different and I knew I could get help/assisted with showing me how to get to this man’s level and get keeping my Medicare and Medicaid I would 100% gladly jump on that road traveling the country actually loving my life. Not wanting to just give up and feel worthless because I actually completely agree with comments like the one you made.

I helped a buddy paralyzed from waist down learn to play bass guitar so I could put a small worship team together. He did fine on guitar. I watched him pull up in his pick up, swing his wheel chair components out, swing in to the chair. He would ask me to grab his guitar..away we went to jam...every week for several years.

  • @1LordTez
    @1LordTez 4 года назад +32

    I love what he is doing. I love his determination to keep working when others would just collect a disability check. But this process needs to be faster. 10 minutes to get in the truck is a lot of time. I drove tractor trailers for over 20 years. To back into certain loading docks or parking spots require getting out of the truck to make sure you don’t hit anything. Fueling the truck usually takes about 15-20 minutes just to pump. His slow lift will add another 20 minutes to that time. Some loads require the trailer tandem to be slid. You have to get in and out of the truck multiple times. A 2 minute tandem slide is now going to take him 40 minutes. It’s a great idea but that lift needs to be improved.
