Can i be sponsored to learn how to drive a truck then get employment from the company after my training .....im from kenya and would love to work at the gp company
29:59 you don’t have to drive around. Just pull the red knob, push in the yellow knob and get your rpm’s up to air up the trl air tanks. It’ll only take about a minute
Yes we are but we don't get much respect. Most of the motoring public hates us. Some of the lack of respect has been brought on buy truck drivers themselves. Leaving trash everywhere, bad driving, no driver etiquette. I could go on. Trucking used to be a job you could take pride in. Not anymore. It's embarrassing out here with all the new drivers. It's become a real 💩 show.
Love the videos Alex, your camera angles, and you always getting things done. Who cares how long it takes you to back in, or get to the place; you always drive safely and consider your surroundings. Your responsibilities are Big, thanks for just being you it works. ❤🌟👊
I haven't seen one of u'r vids in a while. So hope you are doing well . Glad you are still hanging in there . I pray for u my friend . Stay happy and count to ten when it seems to be too much. Good luck my friend .👍😎😇🙏😁
U need to do a Skyview before looking for a delivery address, pin drop where u gonna enter the business of address before delivery day. Scan everything before the delivery day. So this you won't have any problems delivery time. That's what I do on my 10 hour break. So I won't be looking where to enter from or call the business of the cross road address and etc. 😅
Hi Alex, We don't seem to see too many GO Transco trucks here in PA, so every time I see one on the road, I wonder if it's you. Safe travels. Love the videos.
Yeah I've been there a few times in Cincy on Moesteller road. They are a busy place with lots of trucking and warehouse places. They also have a Micro Center store as well down there.
On your truck. You can build up “Air Pressure” by setting the “Idle Adjust” Will be on your dashboard 3rd Tab Top and 4 section down. That will be the fastest or always set your “Optimized Idle” when exiting your truck. Other thing is leave “Trailer Air Supply” pushed in(Red)
In addition to using the gps in my truck and on the hammer app, I like to use Google earth to see the entrance to a shipper/receiver. It helps out tremendously.
before backing under a trailer on a dock, get out and look to see no one is inside and the dock in released from trailer, then back under and tug on it after locking on...
I try to grab all at once in both hands. With international, all you have to do is twist your body and the hoses fit perfectly into the housing using both hands. All you have to is hold on to the electrical with a few fingers and plug in. Hooked up in less than 5 secs! With freighter, it's eh. I have to do it one by one because of the holder. Whichever is fastest.
Alex, you were in NC! I swear I saw a GP truck like a week ago in NC and almost took the exit to chase it down and see if it was you LOL. Love the videos!
I hated loads that were hot and i could not stop to gather all information i needed. Like routes entry and exit route fuel and break stops time of day and actually talking to someone who knows stuff.
You are very correct to walk into unknown areas *before* pulling in somewhere. Too many truckers these days just pull right in and as I'm sure you know get stuck. Many of them 'force' their way around and knock a tree out or do damage to automobiles. Keep up the great work, Alex! And by the way, the skirt on the trailer you are talking about isn't the color 'teal'. Teal has more green in it. The color you are talking about is called turquoise, also the color of your tractor.
Grenville, NC is the home of East Carolina University where I took courses years ago. Cockroaches are big as your thumb, so be careful you don't pick up those pesty little hickhikers. I live about 4 hours west of there at the foot of the mountains off I-40.
Please for the love of god if you’re gonna be a truck driver, Alex. Get that mentality of “I can’t” out of your damn head, never say you can’t as a trucker, think quick and safe and then try, never say you can’t cause you always end up giving yourself more anxiety bro😒 andddddd if someone tells you to go a certain way, then do itttt, you’re not the only trucker with a bed and 53ft trailer going in there.😤
If your tandems on your trailer orslid up and you’re back up to the dock and you’re going to stay hooked to the trailer, why do you have to slide attendance back? It shouldn’t matter where your tandems are at. If you’re going to stay hooked to the trailer you should letthem back in got out from got out from the dock and then hit a slot them back up that making sense.
Hey Alex, what's up my friend I hope you enjoyed yourself with that channel support. I have enjoyed alot of your videos , but like I said you show the easy part I have the other side I deal with until August and then I get back to enjoy the driving side again. I do however have a favor to ask, another cooking video please? I also would lke to say thanks for making us truckers look good!
21:30 why not just ask that guy how he got in? Are truckers not as friendly as they say? I'm a recent grad and I watch your videos to learn about trucking before I land my first job (interview tuesday!)
Alex I'm no truck driver. You second guess your abilities. My advice to you is to watch and take mental notes on how veteran drivers do things. The things taught in school don't always teach real-life experiences. Be observant and listen. Also, use your cb radio if lost .Otr drivers work way better than Garmin.
Another video starting out with blinkers. Your going to burn that blinker fluid slap up in that new truck!!! Alex The Blinker Guy…… you need to let your shop know about that brake temperature gauge because at 199 degrees your going to burn them brakes slap up. You might need to call road service to check your blinker pump and brake temperature gauge. Truck #2 your gonna tear up.
Hey bro I watch ur videos all the time as of recently I'm 23 and I'm soon starting school for my CDL I talk to truck drivers all the time and I seen in one of ur videos your guna save all ur money so you can retire by 30 mabey but why don't you buy your own truck start your own business drive for your self buy a 25 thousand dollar truck and pay another 20 to 30 thousand to put a new motor and transmission in it these guys at my job make 6 to 7 thousands a week are home every day and after taxes and fuel and insurance still take home about 4 to 5 thousand one was even telling me he gets money back at the end of the year instead of paying taxes I even have a nabor that's making millions and has never drove a semi in his life but bought a semi and started his business and it was hard he took some big losses and hits but last year he made 13.5 million for him self and still has never driven a semi truck and the trucker I was talking to today showed me his check his gas bill his insurance he still made 4500 for that week and he bought a 20 thousand dollar truck and got a new transmission and engine from Freightliner for another 20 thousand with a 750 thousand mile insurance and instead of saving why not invest in real estate and just get a property manager until it's payed off and you could always refinance the property tax free and use the money you put in or the money people payed ur property off with start making cash flow money also invest in a Roth account just a suggestion I like to give advice mabey help people or inspire or give suggestions and u seem like a hell of a driver bro and I believe in you and think you could get so much more done hope I don't offend you or anything or come off the wrong way but I want the best for everyone and you inspired me I really want to become an owner operator imagine if a company can pay you 1650 a week how much you can pay urself and pick ur loads and imagine how much you can save in taxes constantly buying trucks writing them off and having your own drivers I'm scared and nervous to drive but I hope I do well and I wish the best for you and if you decide to start a business or anything hope I see your processes on RUclips keep it up brother stay safe and thanks for the vids bro keep um coming
Ive never seen anybody worry and over think the way he does.....maybe he should consider driving a hot shot van that only hauls 2 or 3 pallets of hot freight....

Can i be sponsored to learn how to drive a truck then get employment from the company after my training .....im from kenya and would love to work at the gp company
My bedtime video is ready!
It's 40😂
Lol
That is so facts
Literally me every night
For me it's my wake up video
29:59 you don’t have to drive around. Just pull the red knob, push in the yellow knob and get your rpm’s up to air up the trl air tanks. It’ll only take about a minute
Or push the red knob (trailer air supply)
How about the purple 😂
@@farmerthatflies you know what, you’re right. It’s the opposite. My bad
Just stop and set the breaks and let it fill up with air
That truck has the loudest turn signal flasher on the planet. LOL
Thought I was tripping 🤣🤣🤣
Love these longer videos it gives people a idea of what kind of day for a trucker is thank you so much Alex
These drivers are the lifeblood of American commerce and deserve a lot of respect
Yes we are but we don't get much respect. Most of the motoring public hates us. Some of the lack of respect has been brought on buy truck drivers themselves.

@@marka.2715 Yea that’s unfortunate. See boneheadtruckers. But truckers are the bedrock of tnis country. We have great respect for what you do.

"This guys in the way." = someone within 3 miles of this dude backing up.
It can take a mile to come to a full stop with all that weight.
Hey Alex, change out that ANNOYING flasher!!!!!!
@chasethecringewolf2195 if it takes you a mile to come to a complete stop you need to change your brakes out.
@@lostinstatic9219 Thats just what the cdl phamplet is telling me.
@@chasethecringewolf2195well he said backing up, not driving normal 😂😂😂
Thanks Alex for the video! Your content has inspired me to get into trucking.
Job well done Alex. The new camera angles give a new perspective. Thank you
Job well done? You have low standards
Mark you have a cdl?
You dont need to drive around to build up air, just release both brakes and rev it up
This is true I do this in buses too when I'm checking my air brakes
True taught that in school
Thank you for these long videos! ❤

Yes another video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉checking in from upstate ny
❤ the trick with the padlock on the security band.. smart!
Bro uses his 4 ways more than anyone 🤣
Your going to have anxiety just do it Alex it's just a truck and a dock man you've been driving long enough to figure it out. Just do it!!
You gotta request a different GPS in your truck. I've said it many times, Garmin GPS blows.
I saw a go Transco truck in Kalamazoo, Michigan a few days ago. That's my town. I must say beautiful truck and matching trailer.
It’s harder backing when your tandems are up. Move them back and it will be a lot easier
Hii Alex. Loving the camera setup angles👏💯 Really appreciate for uploading videos time to time❤ Loving the content 😊💯💯
@MFdestroyer you have a cdl?
Alex, the floor mat in your truck needs a good washoff and cleaning. Use a little water and the brush you use for sweeping out trailer.
His whole truck is dirty ….hasn’t washed it since he started ….just doesn’t care …..total scumbag baby !!!!
Love the new camera angles.
before backing under a trailer on a dock, get out and look to see no one is inside and the dock in released from trailer, then back under and tug on it after locking on...
Imagine driving a supercharged Detroit 2 stroke cab over with manual split shift. Respect to the old guys. Your truck is like driving a mini van. 😜
You’re one of my favorite RUclipsrs
Hi Alex I Love how you get after it and get the Loads done nice work brother
That was a heck of a thud backing into that loading dock or whatever you call them.
It takes 3 minutes to build up your air pressure. You don't need to drive
Just park brake rev up gas
So for any truckers out there do y’all have to connect the hoses in a certain order or no
no idm as long as red is always on the outside blue on the inside
It's color coded, blue is always your service line and the red is your emergency line
I try to grab all at once in both hands. With international, all you have to do is twist your body and the hoses fit perfectly into the housing using both hands. All you have to is hold on to the electrical with a few fingers and plug in. Hooked up in less than 5 secs!
With freighter, it's eh. I have to do it one by one because of the holder. Whichever is fastest.
Yes, if you connect them in the wrong order the truck will explode
No
I gotta admit! The new American Truck Simulator looks amazing!
Indeed it does, my friend
I really hate that it is only for VR, though. I ain't got that man ports!
Alex, you were in NC! I swear I saw a GP truck like a week ago in NC and almost took the exit to chase it down and see if it was you LOL. Love the videos!
God that blinker sound is gonna be stuck in my head forever
I think that he has those blinkers connected somewhere else...if you know what I mean.
I hated loads that were hot and i could not stop to gather all information i needed. Like routes entry and exit route fuel and break stops time of day and actually talking to someone who knows stuff.

Good video!
I saw you in North Dakota
Wouldn't be Alex trucking guy video without the tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik sounds of the hazards/turn signals
hey, ecuatoriano, me gustan tus videos.
Title is 15 hrs, but 11 of those were u backing in, or trying to back in!!! HAHAHA just playing. Good videos
I have Notice lately that the GPS has been messing up
Please for the love of god if you’re gonna be a truck driver, Alex. Get that mentality of “I can’t” out of your damn head, never say you can’t as a trucker, think quick and safe and then try, never say you can’t cause you always end up giving yourself more anxiety bro😒 andddddd if someone tells you to go a certain way, then do itttt, you’re not the only trucker with a bed and 53ft trailer going in there.😤
At least no flip flops!

If you’re going to stay hooked to the trailer you should letthem back in got out from got out from the dock and then hit a slot them back up that making sense.
If your tandems are all the way forward. You have a lot of trailer with no support heavy pallet
I have my Class A but when I travel I have bad anxiety 😢
American truck simulator 👍🚛

Do the automatic truck still use the same air brake system as the old trucks?
Yes
Youre voice is very nice. I like to see and hear you.
Tracking what yes
Why do u need your emergency/hazards lights on when u are backing up?
Is this truck automatic? I don't see you shifting gears
21:30 why not just ask that guy how he got in? Are truckers not as friendly as they say? I'm a recent grad and I watch your videos to learn about trucking before I land my first job (interview tuesday!)
Let’s go long video
How many years exp in needed to hire on with GP ???
1 got be clean tho not citations accident or tickets
Why haven't they invented cameras on the back of these trucks to see what's behind you when backing up.
Where can I sign up?
You drive just like me. Know you are not alone. lol
Appliances 🎉
Please stop moaning about everything it’s becoming annoying. Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and relax.
Why don't you stop telling others what to do, you clown
It's a free country and he can complain if he likes I mean you're complaining about him, mfers need to GTFO

How much experience do you need to join this company?
Can you drive a truck with a road ranger gear box or just autos
Damn Carmen, even after you tell her!
You should get some raycons if you want some cheap but quality headphones.
… gentle,gentle,gentle,💥BANG💥. 🤣
What’s with the flashers there is no one around
For someone who eats like a horse, and doesn't gain weight - what a metabolism!
😂😂😂 lmfooooo
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The blinker kind of annoys me haha but keep up the work buckaroo
Best ever trucking guy...Perfect parking.💙👍
Holy cow are these semis automatic now? I remember my uncle driving with like 12 knobs lol
