At the age of 18 in 1977 I went into the family business. I have been trucking ever since as an owner operator. 4 million miles later at age 65 I’m still at it. You have to love trucking to be in it that long. Also you need to have a supportive wife to make it this long. Sure I could retire but I still want to be out here trucking and showing the young guys how it’s done!
I don't know you. Bro. I can feel how happy you're about it. I can't wait to start. Man.
Thanks for showing us rookies your skills. I’m 55 and fairly new to trucking and I’m old enough to know to stay quiet and watch and learn.
Man I need some information regarding trucking is it possible to connect.
I love it keep rolling
Whoah!! Nice!!
I became a truck driver for two reasons,to make enough money to satisfy myself and to see my favorite parts of the country,after 25 years of trucking, I have accomplished my goals.
Agreed and not many entry-level jobs that allow freedom, passengers and pets. Imo even if they perfected autonomous trucks and laid infrastructure tomorrow (which is highly doubtful), it would still have limitations and take years to swap and/ or retrofit entire fleets, so no immediate threats.
@@marcushennings9513 Yup!
It all started when my father bought me a peddle car at age 3 in 1963.
Hoping on the school bus on a hot summers day with the smell of desiel and hot rubber wafting in the air pretty much locked in my future,firstly bus driving,later truck driving.
Now retired i live in the country on the outskirts of a small town that has a major truck stop,I go to sleep every night listening to my fellow compatriots going through the gears as they leave town.
On a still night I've counted 13 gear changes before they are out of earshot.....a perfect way to fall asleep.
I drove because I loved it.....
All the best to all you truckers out there,I hope you have a safe and prosperous career.
I'm the number 4,old school die hard trucker for 39 years
Drove over 3 continents
Love my job
My dream to become a O/O,with my own truck and trailer.
doing that for 11 years now.still loving it
Glad you found something you love bro. 👌
I'm definitely category 4. Started driving trucks 40 years ago at age 18. Unfortunately, government rules and regulations have forced me out of the industry. There's nothing better than running a lonely highway listening to the engine and enjoying the day. Met a lot of good people all over the US and Canada in those 40 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
That's the life!
Hey, love your videos!!I've been in the industry for 36 years. I'm a can hauler. I love my job!! I'm an owner operator & with a fabulous company with solid ownership.
I got into trucking because, it's the only thing I was good at! I never made the money like other drivers but, I have done well. They say trucking gets in your blood and that's true. I left the road to go P&D local home daily. I found myself missing the road. I am now back on the road and loving it!
Are you owner operator?
@@user-bd4mh9bd3s No. I am a company driver for Epes Transport out of NC
I’m a 3rd generation driver, was born into it. My grandfather drove for years before he passed away (he did get a truckers send off) and than my father is a driver and from time to time I get to run down the old black top with my daddy running behind me.
I enjoy this industry, I’ve pulled everything from Van to Skateboard and everything in between. Been all over the country and enjoying every mile I move
Happy to hear you're continuing the family legacy! Rest in peace to your grandfather
I drove in the 70s and drove tankers up and down the West coast CA to WA. I also drove 40foot flats and tried Owner operator running double 27 foot vans. I love it but with two small children I was only home one or two days a week. So I hung driving up. Trucks were very different back then. Most rigs I drove didn't have a sleeper and I ran three long books to look legal. Running the west coast in the winter with all those passes was tough. Some times having to chain and unchain three or more times on a trip. I ran California/ Oregon/ Washington/ Idaho/Nevada/ Arizona and New Mexico. Trucks that I drove were Pete/ freightliner/ Mack/ Kenworth and even and old Dodge1000 COE. Ran COE and Conventional. All the different Diesel engines and Transmissions were 4 and a 4. 5 and a 3. 13 and 15 speed roadranger. Rigs now days are more like a luxury RV. If they were like that back then I may have stayed with it longer. If I would drive again give me a Pete or Kenworth conventional with one of those penthouse like sleepers. Don't miss those trip were I didn't have the money to stop and get something to eat on the way back home. And those48or more trips without sleep.
Ten years ago I absolutely couldn't find a job within 30 miles of home. I was searching the Internet for anything at all when a popup popped saying that a company was looking for drivers and I thought what the heck. Two days later I was on a bus and haven't looked back. Overall, my career has been much better than any local work I would have found at home. Better pay and benefits, plus being home when I want and getting the miles I want.
I have a college degree and did welding inspection with ultrasound and radiography 13 years. Got tired of dealing with whiners and babies and thought driving truck I could be My own Boss and my own person and won't have to listen to the b*******. It's been a struggle on the path with my own truck but I think I'm on a smoother path now. The FMCSA will hold you back more than anything!!!!
Haha, we can agree there! But hey, you got this! You'll definitely get to where you're headed with that level head of yours!
I am multiple of your labels. I came in to trucking because I had debts I needed to pay off. But as I started trucking, I quickly discovered that I loved to travel, I love the longhaul lifestyle, and I genuinely love the business, which for me is the liquid hazmat tanker sector.
Thanks for sharing
I’ve actually accomplished all of those categories 👍❤️
Are you owner operator?
@@user-bd4mh9bd3s Why? Do you think I don’t understand? I’ve been in all the categories…..driver, owner-operator, company owner, had drivers…….but now, I love my local driving job! 👍
@@MotherTrucker1 i am a dispatcher and i am interested to giving you a dispatch services
Im category #4. My grandfather drove father drove regionally for 50+ years. I rode with him as a child frequently. I've been doing it OTR for 34 years, and now my 31 yr old son has been doing it OTR for 7. My son rode with me a lot. I was owner op leased to carriers for most of it. Im old school. I still love to go home, but after 3 or 4 days im actually ready to go again. I BELONG HERE! I dont have a GPS, never did, never will. I know where im going. Im not bragging, just stating.....i cant fix a thing plumbing or electrical or whatever at home, but i can tell you where every truckstop is on almost every interstate and U.S. Highway across the country. I know about 80-90% of industrial park areas in major cities. It just makes it easy to be good at what you enjoy as well as enjoy what you're good at. Im 58 yrs old. I figure ill go to 70 for sure, 75 if i can. Delay drawing my social security to maximize my amount. So yes, i got what i wanted out of trucking, still do. Its a "lifestyle" more than a job to me. I take Pride in it.
It's especially pleasing to hear that so many truckers still have that love for trucking keeping them going in spite of the decline of the industry. Have pride always!
I became a truck driver because I got multiple felonies lost my government job and wanted to make alot of money fast to then invest in my own non trucking business
I became a truck driver to do something that was pandemic and recession proof, that the results of my labor was tangible and mattered. After a 16 year career in healthcare, I was burnt out and needed a change. My grandfather was a truck driver, and I always thought it would be fun to see the country, while getting to drive a truck.
I went to a company that offered their own CDL school. I was a flight attendant when I was in my 20s and 30s. That was fun too. But the CDL school was fast-paced and the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. I passed my tests and went out with my trainer and got my own truck, driving OTR for less than a year.
I loved the job, but the sacrifice of being away from family and friends wasn’t worth the meager pay this company offered.
Left that 18 months ago, for a local driving job. I’m home every night, with great pay and benefits. I drive a tandem dump truck now, and love every minute of what I do now.
I’ve met a lot of great people in this industry. I’ve also met some jerks.
“You’re not a real truck driver unless you do this/don’t do that”. They gripe and moan and they belittle you for being new.
Thats a huge disappointment for new folks trying to get into the business. Not everyone is a steering wheel holder. Not everyone is an idiot. Many of us take our job seriously and try do a good job, a safe job, every day.
Instead of being jaded and grouchy, try being more supportive of the new ones coming out. Show them the right way, the etiquette instead of talking down to them.
Outside of those nuggets of wisdoms from my first few years as a driver, I love what I do and I take pride in my work. I can’t see myself doing anything else now.
#1 turned #4 in the sense that trucking is life for me now. Recently divorced with debt and was looking to build up my income. Decided on trucking as I trucked in the military and loved it. 3 years of trucking has gotten me out of bad debt and caught up with investing for my age (30). I could get out of trucking this year if I wanted, but I'm probably in it in some form or another for life.. which is fine because i just didn't want to be married to it against my will. Im still money hungry, but I'm sticking with reefer and with my current company as being in the 90th+ percentile for pay as a company driver is good enough for me. Full-time truck living with the company yard as "home base" and starting to live life a little. Always lived on half. Thank you trucking!
We're sorry to hear about your divorce but delighted to hear that trucking has been profitable for you!
As a kid I always wanted to become either a trucker or railroad conductor….. started late in life do to a family…. That being said I can now live in the country where housing is much more affordable and not so much traffic and chaos…..
I think I’m in number 4 category ….im very happy with what I do I’m company driver ….i got my CDL when I was 25 years old …now I’m 56 years old …I’m hoping to start my own business in trucking with in the next few months….i have been OTR for few years….now working with local company in my area….i make a good living…I’m not rich…but I’m live comfortable…now that I have gotten older I think starting my own business it’s a good time for me….thank you your insight and good content…thanks again
I think ultimately, that comfort that you have is far better than anything riches can buy. As long as you love what you do and do what you love... I think you're business will be way more successful than most! Glad you appreciate the content, we're always happy to give solid insight!

@@user-bd4mh9bd3s
I’m sorry …I am not owner operator …but starting my company in a few months …I’m probably gonna get a driver for the truck because I don’t wanna leave the company that I work for… In the area that I live, the trucking industry is going to grow very quickly so it’s going to be a perfect opportunity to start a company
I came in to trucking because that was what I wanted since a little kid and I been now in trucking as a owner operator and owner of a trucking company for more that 30 years.
Love, love, love to hear it!
Category #4. Started in 1982 semi-retired in 2020 but still in the industry. You mentioned for this category, the driver LOVES the industry and I did. I believe I was born to truck, but sadly the industry as it evolved during my time took the love out of it for me. I still LOVE driving but not much else. When I say that 1989 was the best money I made in Trucking based on cost of living index, you might have a better understanding why I say the industry has failed us drivers for the most part. It's only my $0.02 and everyone has their own perspective.; Be well, Be Safe.
It has definitely failed truckers, I agree. But we're diligently working to create a space where trucking can be recognized for what it is and be uplifted from this terrible status.
I started in 1973 as a long haul driver in Sask taught by a cousin and my uncle who had been already driving for over 20 years.
At that time it was a really good position and you made good money even when being paid a lower wage. No logs and better roads. We where the white nights of the road and we help all fellow motorists and each other. It was a good industry and nobody was cutting each others throats in those days. But it has when into the dog house now and most days i am ashamed to call my self a professional. Most companies don't pay wages to be called a professional just a steering wheel holder. because I was have been driving for all these years with no accidents and was taught right and given time to get experience.
Are you owner operator?
Always wanted to be a trucker as a kid. Got my CDL at 18, OTR at 21. I am almost 47 now and haul crude oil… Love it. I will drive as long as I can!!!
Right on! Happy to hear it!
Are u happy with ur pay I'm looking to do what u did
I worked at the saw mill I did alot of forest work. I'm a forest technician . Now I'm gonna haul wood in the winter. :)
To never be deemed nonessential
I came into trucking by the employment office offering to pay for the school. and found out I love this life.
I am a solid reason #4. I started with tow trucks, went to heavy stuff and then over size/over weight. Got to go all over North America (Northern ON. CAN is home). I left the industry and went to heavy equipment mechanic for a better family life. I guess I’m a 3 now.
I got into trucking cause ever since a kid i love trucks.
Especially long hoods Petes n KW.
Truckin since 1997
It was a fluke that got me into trucking. The very first time I ever drove a truck was foisted on me in midtown Manhattan. It was a 20' box truck on a 1986 Mercedes Benz 1116. The lead driver told me to get behind the wheel and drive, so I did. Thankfully that make/model of truck was fantastic for city driving. That model series are very distinctive for having what looks like insect antenna's on their nose. I ended up buying that truck.
What did you haul?
@@travislebron It was a box truck being used by a NYC courier service. Typically we had hanging textiles, printed materials, and imports via JFK.
@@kmg501 Nice!
I did it to increase my income. I was a class B driver for over 20 years and needed more money. Now I love trucking even more and understand why class A doesn’t consider class B real truck drivers lol
Glad you're enjoying trucking!
Great video Rohan.
I got into trucking after a stint in the marine industry went south after I got out of the USN.
I did 22yrs of OTR refrigerated, 15yrs of that was teaming with the wife, 21yrs at the same company.
In a way I'm glad that an ocular stroke took me out of the drivers seat as IMHO the industry has gone to $hit. Way too many multi vehicle pileups, ELD requirements and the lack of parking.
This motivated me to focus on getting in saving up enough to produce & manufacture in house feedstock to make “trucking” pay substantially better & keep the 1 ⭐️ brokers & business out of it. Mark my words
For me it’s just a job but it has some good benefits, ability to make more money than a 40 hour job, not tied to one place and minimum supervision, get to occasionally see the interesting things and places….. all of these are reasons why it’s worse now… and add on that despite all the regulations it is much more dangerous now.
I enjoy my job. It is regional, I get home every weekend, and the pay is decent (but could be better). My only real complaint is how poor the vacation options are in the industry. We live in these trucks at a minimum 5 days a week, some for months at a time. Most of the companies out here offer a week of vacation after a year, two weeks after five years, and three weeks after ten years or some variation close to that. I've been with my current company for just over a year. The wife and I are thinking of taking a trip to Europe. The only way I can do this is to quit my job, and despite liking what I do, I am considering doing just that. Quitting, taking a 2-3 week vacation, and than applying for a different company. If I had at least 2 weeks of vacation right now I would not even be considering this at all.
The vacation options dooooo need to be sorted out immediately. I hope it works out though and you get to enjoy a well earned vacation with your wife! Let us know how it goes if you do!
I’m definitely in category #4.
I thrive on the challenges of oversized and over dimensions loads.
I’m in a different situation than most drivers though as I work for a company and we’re a not for hire carrier, so that means that we only move equipment and materials for our own projects.
I’m on a project right now where we’re moving mods that are 64’-80’ long by 9’4” tall and 10’ wide. Not terribly heavy at 54000LBS-70000LBS but a little top heavy. Next week I’m moving 1’thick 13’ x 30’ sections from Sudbury to Labrador City and have been tasked with setting it up to move without needing permits LOL
Worked a bit for a trucking company and helped start it. That was back in 2022. Ended up saving up and started a company with 2 trucks in end of 23. Currently pretty much running to break even and make sure my guys are paid. This market is tough, I’m trying to hold out that way I’m better established when it goes back up. But man is it tough.
I guess I'm an unmentioned offshoot of #4, the midlife crisis wanderlust type who is probably going to just keep it going anyway because working in an office felt hollow.
I mean I've been putting up with being a heavily restricted company driver with loathsome tech in the truck for over a year now. Might as well see what's at the end of apprenticeship status.
i like it for the lifestyle. im always leaving myself an out in case things get boring or my health gets bad. company driver 4 life.
My daddy was a parking lot hauler now I’m a driver and I love it passionately #CAT4 🚛💨🇺🇸 I’m not doing well just got a truck in September leased on with JBH but I would never leave it even if I didn’t make anything
While I've only been driving for a little over three years now, I'd like to think I fall under the Die Hard category. I got into this because I was always fascinated with big trucks since I was a kid and I love driving. Yeah, money was a thought as well but in this economy money will always be a concern. Since I got my license, I've loved every minute of it. Not only can I do this job but I can do it well. Always up for a challenge, always up for an adventure. Whenever there's something new to do, I'm my dispatchers first choice. I tell them "Where am I going? How do I get there? And what am I doing when I get there?" and they leave the rest to me.
My only concern is the direction this industry is going, particularly with equipment. I don't like the modern style trucks are going in, especially with EVs. I like the old school style and I love my 18 manual. I want my truck to look and feel like a truck; not an oversized Ford Econoline. But I digress.
Sounds as good a reason as any!
I became a truck driver for many reasons. It was kind of a Plan B after realizing that becoming a civil engineer wasn't gonna work out and to maintain the comfortable lifestyle my parents gave me.
But I did it primarily because I was dating an older woman at the time. We wanted kids and a house, and trucking was easy and quick enough to get established in to work with her shorter biological clock.
10 years later I'm no longer with that woman, but I'm a married homeowner with 2 young children, making great money and home enough to enjoy hobbies and my family.
I've since become a diehard truck driver and it's been the best decision I've ever made, aside from proposing to my wife 😂
I'm so happy to hear that man!
I did it to get put of my prison guard job. Now I'm throwing money into the stock market in order to not have to work. So very much category 2 for me.
Hope it goes well for you!
I got a better life stly n I used to a mechanic for17years love the quait❤❤ sights 6:23
Was a mix, company paid for the school and for me to get my license bc I was a yard jockey. Knew about the money and I like that I do. Know it’ll give me a good comfortable living. LTL linehaul is the best paying and home every day
I’m number 4 however I’m
Happy with reefer
I retired from the military 2013, worked for 10 years now I decided to go to another career and I'm only 56
Lmao, we can say your name the any way we want, you got wine and dine wrong, lol. But besides that I'm number 4, got into it because I've always loved trucks, they have always fascinated me. Finally got my shit together after 20 years of concrete finisher, went to school got my cdl and have been trucking since 1999
Haha, did we? Thanks for pointing it out! Happy to hear that you've been enjoying the world of trucking though!
I drove cross country with my grandfather in 2012, and thought hmm what would it be like to be paid to do this? Got into trucking at 22.
I feel like grandfathers are just elite! Glad you joined in!
Problem is that you used to be able to say that when it comes to the money. We don't make money like we used to on the road. I could get a local job getting paid the same but I don't like a boss looking over my shoulder all the time.
How trucking started for me first off it was my way out of poverty Then I fell in love with it I was a little different. I went right in the Flatbed I do overdimensional work and normal Flatbed work I have also done Logging I’m just specializing my CDL in more advanced cargo than your standard van driver Rates go up fuel price comes down I will go buy a truck. Of my own. I couldn’t see myself doing any other thing then driving a truck
Sounds like you got this covered!
Thank you Mr Rohan.
Shit was corny asf
@@ReputableRides-bb7wy 😂😂😂😂
I was in home construction in 1977. When I turned 21, I wanted to make money sitting on my backside instead of digging footers. What category does that put me in?
If you’re still in it I would say die hard, getting out of construction after 31 years. Any advice for a 55 year old rookie driver??
@russellbaer2442 My advice is to listen to the ones that are in the know, take everything with a grain of salt, and always be open to learn. I've been at it since August of 1981, still learning.
Yes Sir 💯, that is why I don't like construction anymore. After 31 years I still learn daily, these newcomers think they are aces after a year 😂
I worked in a factory and hated it. Got to deal with people and all the gossip that goes with working with a bunch of people. You got to deal with lazy people, people that are not the brightest, people that only comes to work to make other people's lives miserable, people with extreme political views that can't keep it to themselves, nosy people that ask you questions about your life then takes it all out of context because they have nothing else interesting in their lives...so in short I hated people because work was their personal soap opera shows. In trucking you on your own most of the time and the harder you work the more money you get. And also had debts and not getting any younger so want to save for retirement. Lucky to drive for the same company that I worked on the factory floor so didn't lose any employee seniority.
Same here, just took me a lot longer to figure it out!! Starting trucking at 55
I'm number 4&5 but now in malaysia,having 11 trucks,1 day i will come to canada invest open a trucking company & support canadian people & canadian trucking industry.see u later ronen 👍🏻
No i got in at 32 yrs old and im 63 i leased 3 different times and made 180000.00 2 yrs in a row but beat myself to death and out of that made maybe 25000.00 so i went back to company reefer driver otr and because of my age im just driving now only making 50cpm to stay local yet run rounds back south east then back coast west then home. Avg about 2400.00 to 3200.00 take home. And plan to retire hopefully when 67! Maybe sooner? Whether money or not!
I hope your retirement goes well! But keep your health in mind while you're out there too okay?
What about #6 ? The job hopper driver that hates trucking companies?
Getting rid of debt. Buying a house nothing else encouraged to become a truck driver. Not to mention drive (knowing a lot of places across USA and Canada) and get pay at same time.
I started at age 50 after being laid off. Always wanted to drive as my Dad and Uncle were over the road drivers.
But after 13 years I quit driving and went back to welding.
Too much personal liability and welding pays better per hour. Making working 40 hours a week what I used to make working 60 hours a week driving
Then you just worked at the wrong company. To say welding makes more than trucking in a general statement like that is a VERY long stretch. Ive got friends who weld and havent seen one of them break 90k like i have in trucking. But i know welders somewhere around the world also make that doing something more niche. Just putting my 2 cents
Yeah i when younger wanted to have my own big nice dbl stacked truck. But after 31 yrs i drive autoshift 12 spd freightliner making 50cpm. But the company im with is in my hometown, small and very good to me! They bought truck for me they spoil me when i need something, its done! I avg 2400
00 to 2800.00 bi weekly. Im 63 so will prob only be out here a few more yrs! Thx! David Martineau
4:11 no one gonna talk about how it looks like his tandems will go right into the yard lol
I only got into trucking for the money. That’s it. I’m into cars and I wanted to make more money to fund my hobby. Not sure if I fall into any of your categories.
Do this company has a good lease purchase program
I loved towing then 09. Went to NTTS Buffalo. No jobs til 2013 been driving since. On Volvo #3 of my own, running a w2 for now daycab volvo while I get the sleeper settled n my mc back. Last truck crapped out n Biden fuel hikes let it all go in 22. Under my own auto transport, looking at upsizing from 5 to 7 car, stepdeck, or Landoll this go round. 3rd times a charm, I hope. Laws suck royal but, there's a lot of pride riding above traffic hauling whatever. So far reefers, van, and a 3 n 5 car carriers. 🤔🇺🇸👍
3 years in trucking as owner operator , netting every year 150- 200k even during years like right now
No kidding… what do you haul if I may ask? Thanks!
That’s pretty good. U are in the top 1% of all trucker earnings be very blessed
I'd say there is another type. I'm retired from the postal service and am getting too old to work hard physically, I became a driver 2.5 years ago out of boredom in retirement. I'm sure I'll get some flak from the old hands here, however I've never seen such a disorganized industry full of cowardly companies that refuse to stand up to the federal government. This really could be a good job, however in order for that to happen the average driver has got to band together and stop capitulating to the feds.
You got that right Ronan
I got in 1971 and retired in2023 it was a great job I just got tired of the dum shit some people were doing and chose not to be apart of that

@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News well. You was saying drivers shortage lolol, . Do you 5hink is the drivers shortage or was ?
We might as well work at McDonald’s now?
It is not that bad, not yet.
I got tired of unloading trucks at 4am, I got tired of living in the same place and not being successful and being surrounded by people that wasn’t doing anything with their lives
That outro was corny ASF
😂
Haha, did it at least make you laugh?
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News do you know what corny means?
I’m die hard
Respect 😎
So this is why there is so many drivers, stop lying there is no shortage , too many unprofessional drivers I see.
I guess it would be more accurate to say there is a shortage on EXPERIENCED and GOOD drivers. The lot of drivers that make up the industry today are accident prone and have no idea what they're doing because they were barely taught before they got thrusted into a truck and told they were road worthy
Because I’m poorly educated.
Has trucking been fulfilling for you? Or do you wish you were able to attain higher education? Let us hear your thoughts
A gateway to hell
For the lizards
Lol 😆
My man 👊🏾
