Good for you bro , I know what your talking about , I've been driving for many years but not always OTR , I did a lot of local driving also . A big problem with truckers being treated like crap is because so many of them just accept it without putting up a fight at all . I think a lot of truckers would be so much happier if the industry paid then what their really worth instead hiring drivers from mongolia that can't speak english and have no friggin clue where their going or where they are . Im sure you watch the RUclips guy Mark at Trucking Answers , he has the right idea about making things right and has the enough is enough attitude which I love about him . Maybe one day truckers will be paid what their really worth , who knows , good luck working on trucks , it sounds like your a happy man now .
Great video, bud. I cannot wait for the repair videos to start. I love working on cars and used to like working on my trucks in the military. Take care till next time.
After my two weeks of training with XPO being a driver.... I quit, trucking there sucked, 14hrs average a day, dispatch don't care about you being tired, but there's plenty of driving jobs, linehaul, daily route, otr, bus driving. The toll of sitting for hrs and hrs as a driver takes a serious toll on your health, life span of a trucker is 61, 16 yrs shorter than average, back pain is 5x more likely with truckers
I been driving 4 years, and have learned to see the bs coming from trucking companies. I am fortunate that I work for company with no forced dispatch, and that settles some of the bs. I turn a lot of stuff down, which my dispatchers hate. You know they love those short runs with few miles and live load or unload or both, well no thank you to that. Course they try and bargain and say well do it and we will give you a better load afterward, most the time I say, nope. They know damn good and well only people making money is the company and not the driver, so screw that. Anyway, you got some good vids, keep making them.
I don't call it complaining or whining, I call it calling out the bs. My response to habitual complainers/whiners is: "Why do you still work here, just quit".
He really is , I say if your done with trucking great we have all heard your complaints , now move on and stop making trucking content. The world meets no one half way , we all have shit in our life. Why would you say the truckers that do it 40 years can't do anything else. Shame on you
when alot of people in the industry go against you and call it complaining, that means you are doing the right thing. if they choose mob mentality, you are pointing out true injustice.
It's not whining it's calling out all the bull shit that you have to go threw in this industry, it does suck I call it sweat shop on wheels, I'm giving it a few more years to reach my goal, and then I'm hanging up the keys, because it's all lies, low pay, alway from family,hard on your health, just not worth it,
I've only seen your more popular videos and I'm not a truck driver, but nothing I've seen suggests you are a "whiner" in the sense of a negative connotation. You're just a guy dealing with tough situations in a, frankly, unfair industry. Just my opinion.
Why not stop complaining about how you FIX your situation if your not happy get a job in the medical field and BTW YOUR NOT ENOUGH TO LOG A MILLION MILES cant lie to us experienced Drivers.
You hit the nail on the head. I was told I couldn’t cut it too. They were right! I can’t take coming to work n get paid for roughly 25% of my time.
Where ya been Abe?
U saw my last communication right

Hey man looking good

Show us how to become a truck mechanic and share its pros and cons, pay etc. please
I don't call it complaining or whining, I call it calling out the bs. My response to habitual complainers/whiners is: "Why do you still work here, just quit".
Yes...the worst is, "He/she had no choice, they had to take a job driving for that shitty company."
There is always a choice.
Dropped some weight after quitting... praise God.
I'm proud of you for not driving when you were sleepy. But bro you are whining about being called a whiner.
He really is , I say if your done with trucking great we have all heard your complaints , now move on and stop making trucking content. The world meets no one half way , we all have shit in our life. Why would you say the truckers that do it 40 years can't do anything else. Shame on you

The opposite of whiners in trucking are company men. Company men allow the BS to continue when it comes to paying truckers fairly and with respect
I wish you'd come back long enough to close unfinished business and beat the shyt outta Phat Ike
You’re alive!!! Holy shit!!? (@.@)
Good Stuff Yo No let the Whining begin with the haters lol
a million miles? you guys believe that?
You can drive like 500miles daily, that adds up
People whine and complain because there is shit to whine and complain about.
Shame on you for saying men and women that drive 40 years because they can't do anything else.
I had absolutely no sexual relations with that woman.
William Jefferson Clinton great president
It's not whining it's calling out all the bull shit that you have to go threw in this industry, it does suck I call it sweat shop on wheels, I'm giving it a few more years to reach my goal, and then I'm hanging up the keys, because it's all lies, low pay, alway from family,hard on your health, just not worth it,
