You're gonna have good days, mediocre days, then you're gonna have pure 💩 days. But on average, you can make a good living. 24 years in the fuel business in the Texas Panhandle. I run a lot more miles than what you do. Some days, I run over 600 miles on 3 loads. Like you said, keep that left door closed and the wheels turning. Great information you just give. Keep up the great work and videos. 👍
As a retired driver (51 years driving) I still get out on occasion I know what you mean about hustle! I spent most of my career in specialized and heavy haul so I understand long hours and being away from home. Your videos are great and very real I hope you keep making them. I love your passion and professionalism for your work and your rig. God bless and be well
Hey man good to see you up & at it. I think we started our RUclips around the same time. Your page is really taking off. I was posting every day but like you say it’s so much time put into it. We honestly have enough content up for a whole year already lol. That’s what I was told from a friend that has a huge following on RUclips. So I recently started posting every other day. Or I’ll just do a short one day. & put out a vid the next. Once your audience builds up. You can post once or twice a week and still grow your channel.
I haul propane/ butane. There’s money to be made, but you will work your 14 every day! It’s what I like to do though. I would not be happy sitting around in my truck.
As a 20 year tanker driver 10 years fuel there's money to be made but you will earn every dollar. The Nashville tn market has several 100k company jobs but there's no free money
I think you need to look at it from a math standpoint. What type of content got the most views, what week of content got the most views, and most importantly, what content got you the most subscribers. The numbers will tell you the story. When you get a substantial number of subscribers, look to monetize it... I personally like watching the loading and offloading with a little road time mixed in. Since many of us are interested in hauling fuel, I would think the loading and offloading would get the most watched.
Hello Mike. sorry your still not feeling well. I am just getting around to your channel. I been watching content from the Mid America Trucking Show. What an event this year. Peace to you and get well soon. Channel is not the same without you and Bella on the road. ✌👍
G-morning Mr Spivey.... starting to feel pretty good today so videos should be back up shortly... I've been watching alot going on with the truck show as well... dang sure wish u could have went... ✌️
Hey brother. Like the saying goes gotta make hay while the sun is shining. The other channels I watch usually post 2 -3 videos a week. Each one will cover a day or two. Don't compromise your rest just to make a video. We all understand if you can't put out one everyday. Be safe out there
It’s been a while hope you get well soon hey Mike your In controll it’s up to you how & when you do your videos your a real trucker and that’s all that matters oh by the way when you get a chance how did the Mop & Glo perform on your tires
Thank you Mr George.... haven't got around to the mop and glo yet gonna stop by yard and get some cleaner and polish wheels hopefully this weekend and then slap some on there...
Your videos are always the best on RUclips I think a video every other day would be good enough at least that's what I think but anyway i hope you start feeling better soon sir and you and your family have a wonderful night and God bless you guys
Same way here buddy, i keep halls cough drops especially the vapor cool kind and chloroseptic throat spray in my bag, the vapor cool opens my sinuses and chest up like the vick vapor rub stuff does. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you man I do the cough drops and mucinex stuff.... other than that I'm kinda stubborned and let my body heal itself so I can build immunity to it...
I haul fuel for flying j locally what a lot of people don’t understand is that it is one of the hardest jobs in trucking.Gotta run real hard to make a days workload. We are out of the truck a lot cold rain or shine. This is not a job for everyone. A lot of drivers approach me at truck stops asking me how much we make and all that ,they think this job is cake because they see us playing on our phones while unloading
What’s good Mike, haven’t been able to watch your new videos since I’ve been busy with work. Had no idea you got sick, you a tough man and you’ll get better before you know it, no doubt about it 💪💪 Just wanted to touch on what you’re speaking about how you run the channel, I love the everyday videos.. but even myself can’t keep up with them as much as I’d want to.. and that’s just coming from a damn viewer.. so I can’t imagine how it is for you being the creator. I learned from you, God is 1st, Family is 2nd, your bread/occupation/livelihood/health/rest/mental state is 3rd.. the channel/content comes last after all. Don’t hold this channel too high above anything else man, us supporters, us subscribers, aren’t going anywhere. The more rest you get, the more attention to detail you’re able to provide to the production of your content, the time in between videos, all comes full circle and will do nothing but benefit you and the viewer. Also will build anticipation amongst your frequent viewers on the next drop of a - Life on 18 Wheels video 💯 You can always bounce back and forth from doing daily vlogs and weekly videos.. as long as you announce “Hey guys I’m doing posting videos EVERYDAY this week!” Those moments will mean even more to you and us. That’s just how I see it from my perspective, love your content man. Can’t wait to see you keep growing, keep providing for your family, keep getting stronger & healthier, keep hustling hard & inspiring the next generation.. keeping your imagination flowing into different ways to make your videos 🔥🔥 It’s only up from here mane, can’t wait to see you drop that merch as well!! Thanks for this money breakdown too, love to hear the financial side of things. Goodnight Mike, Bless you and your family 💯💯 -Nino
Hello sir, thanks for all the videos and content that you create. I hope you get well. Drink some theraflu, or some ginger tea to stop the coughing and it will help you. When you deliver fuel, whats the skulley? If thats what its call. And you have different vapor connections on the trailer, how will a new guy doing fuel knows which vapor section you connect the vapor hose to?
Thank you and the skully system on the trailer is basically the brain of the trailer it has sensors in the top of trailer and if you bump a probe the skully system will trip and shut the loading down so you don't dome out which is to say fuel come out top of trailer.. the skully system also grounds the trailer to the rack... and the vent lines on trailer for vapor recovery most trailers have 2 of them... while we are loading we usually just hook the vapor recovery to the closest one... and 99% of the time while we are unloading recovering vapors we hook it to the one by our loading heads... hope that explained it well
@@Life-On-18-Wheels can you please do a video on it for me to quite understand. I have my tanker, twic and am waiting for my hazmat endorsement, took my fingerprints already. Hopefully, I can get a job fueling that pays decent. Thanks again, get well and stay safe and be bless
That’s how it felt hauling catalyst to the fcc units in refineries. I would love to get home but I get more sleep in the truck.
Oh man I do to way more sleep in truck.. well BETTER sleep let me put it that way..

Take Zicam Mike ...

Thank you
Disolvable tablets ..
Your body needs zinc anyway ..
👍
I'd say every other day. One thing I don't really care for is music on the drive. Let the truck sing for us! Hope you feel better.
Thanks for the input
I'd say ditch the music ..always good to hear that motor when you shift it .
I hear you
I haul propane/ butane. There’s money to be made, but you will work your 14 every day! It’s what I like to do though. I would not be happy sitting around in my truck.
Amen to that I don't mind going on long runs but I like the shorter ones better... but I dilo like hauling fuel cause all the physical work
As a 20 year tanker driver 10 years fuel there's money to be made but you will earn every dollar. The Nashville tn market has several 100k company jobs but there's no free money
No you gonna work for it for sure....

9th from a mom ‘n pop Truckstop restaurant after eating pot roast dinner 👨🏼🍳
That sounds better than fast food commmooonnn
Its paying 30 to 35 dollars and hour here in cincinnati ,world fuels,
So about the same that's good to know
I love what you're doing now with your videos. I agree with the other person, don't need music. Feel better.
Thank you mom
Man if you are satisfied with what your doing and your satisfied with the money you're making its your business and no one elses
Ain't that the truth
13.hrs
Woah ..
Yep lol
I prefer running fuel paid by the hour not by the load but that's just me, i much prefer the consistency

I know what you mean lol stay safe.driver
Hauling diesel and gas is cake compared to crude. U take the final product
It’s money in fuel if you wanna work
That's right
Great work bro
Thanks 🔥
Take care of yourself driver.
