I hate to say it, but YOUR RIGHT. THAT is the problem in ALL industry across this Country. Too many people are sucking it up instead of fighting for what's right and what they deserve.
I drive hey 94 from Hastings mi to Ann Arbor MI for my cancer trial. I love you vids and randomly wave at truckers because I admire what you guys go through
Please take this advice: GET OUT OF THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. You'll continue to make peanuts for years, while the company you work for rakes in the big money by exploiting your time and skills. Also, the stress that you experience in the trucking industry is bad for your health. You're worth a whole lot more than pennies a mile. Try to find an online business, or something where you can make money being your own boss. Do independent commercial truck reviews on RUclips... Anything... Try to make it your goal to leave the trucking industry in the next 18 months...
If more drivers had that mentality, less companies would be getting away with abusing drivers. problem with most people in all industries is that they dont stand up for themselves.

I like your videos. I think you are refreshingly candid about day to day issues in trucking. Im not a driver yet, I begin school on Tuesday. I have a stable work history to where I didn't have to "turn the other cheek" when I'm not pleased with my job. I'm not quite as combative as you are but I will resign from a position if I feel like I'm not being treated fairly & I've exhausted all other options. Keep doing what you do & don't worry about these trolls. Btw, I was raised in Flint but I live in SC now; I hope you are rooting for Michigan tomorrow night! Go Blue!!
hey my dude, upload more videos!! you're one of the few trucking vloggers I can stand/like to watch. was bouncing around Detroit the last couple days and was wondering if I'd see you on the freeway. drive safe, take care
you can tell ABE is an Awsome driver he has his route planned properly i was loving how fearless ly he was going under all those bridges id love to hear about using the rand McNally world carrier atlas along with the i think the 720 TND GPS how to avoid low clearance bridge
hmmm....well as long as you are hooked to a trailer you cannot be on personal time ...if your bobtailing thats a different story ,,,,check the DOT/ fmcsa hrs of service rules ....!

What is this "empty so I can drive more?" I've never heard of it. I thought if you're driving the truck you're working.. Guess I need to get caught up on my dot rule book.
yeah that sounds a bit sketchy , you still fall inside the big day 16 hour rule for local drivers . but the fmcsa is really fuzzy about the stuff your talking about. This is where artificial intelligence would come in handy,,,,
fuck all the haters.........ive been in the oilfields for years......i got your back Abe. ...ive been power lifting and driving for years...just like you. i support you...
I was raised by a truck driver. he did it all his life. he was a good guy. put up with a lot of shit. He even had a few ppl hit his truck an died over the 40 yrs of driving. It wasn't an easy job. keep up the good work. your job is a tough one. . haters gonna hate give them the big middle finger salute. 😊
Seems like you got your game together since the tired driving drama video. To be fair to the dispatchers, you did admit to having about 20 hours off duty/sleeper before that overnight run. I think if you never posted that drama you wouldn't have so many haters.
Theres two problems that I see with trucking from an outside position looking in: 1) There are too many "Good Ol' Boy" attitudes in my mind. Theres too many people that, as you say, are "laying down and taking it." They think brown nosing and taking everything up the ass qualifies them as some sort of "super trucker." These are the same people who dont want anything new to happen to trucking that they dont fully understand, like Qualcomms and E-Logs. 2) None of the truckers who use RUclips, except for you, actually show a negative side to things. You actually come and say "My dispatcher tried to fuck with me today" or "This company is crooked, dont go here." Yes, it shows an in depth view into trucking but it dosent show the whole picture. They dont show the bad things that come up with any company or dealing with dispatchers who are assholes. Yes, they teach the newbies and people who are generally interested in this stuff a view on it, but they dont let them view the whole deal. Abe, this is what I like about you. You have a lot more wisdom to offer then some people trolling
you guys have been working for some shit companies wtf!! I'm with ATS no problems. been there 4 years driver managers are awesome! very professional and treat the drivers very well.
what's up convoy !! what's 12 truckers in a Michigan basement ??? a whine cellar !! any ways run hard get paid I've got to move out of Flint Michigan I can not stand this black hole !! I'm thinking of making a move to Florida do you know of a good company I could hook up with down there !! 6 Years over the road
Hey RunHardGetPaid I like your videos keep it going man. Your telling the truth all truckers should take no shit stand up for themselves that's what trucking all about do what you love and taking no bullshit. Peace
Personal drive time... So you'll be going back to that warehouse when you come off home time? Because if not, your using personal drive time the wrong way and could get ticketed. Good job handsome smart guy.
Fire and do NOT hire ! He sleeps on the job ! And someone needs to climb in his truck when he's gone and fart I'm the cab so he comes back and smells it while he drives...lol
You know I find it funny that someone gets austracized for abandonment but if a company were to fire you, you turn the truck in where they want then it's up to you to get home. I say fuck that I'm going home and they can come get their truck.
I am glad you have stood up for yourself. Haters are going to hate. I only have 3 months experience and I know trucking is very stressful and us drivers put up with alot of bullshit day to day. Can you leave me your email address, I have a question to ask you. Thanks Run Hard Get Paid. Be safe!
Let me make something perfectly clear to everyone. Its going to come to a point very soon, where there will be no more drivers. because HyperLoop and a few other up and coming transportation corps are going to take over the transportation industry. Trucks are going to be self driving. Which means there will be no more need for drivers. Im not saying its going to happen tomorrow or in 5 years. But it is coming sooner than you think. Currently there are 24 driver-less trucks transporting merch OTR doing a massive test in the USA and Walmart is funding the entire thing with Co-Founders from Amazon,. its been all over the news lately, so just be aware. ---- I dont actually know if someone will have to actually baby sit the truck while its doing its thing, most likely yes, but the fact of the matter and the point to what I am saying is, Technology and AI is going to take over. We are moving into the future faster than you may think. Walmart is talking about starting a fleet of 100 by 2025. --- Im just posting to notify people as to what is happening in the transportation business. Walmart and Amazon are already in talks with DOT and also talking to DOT about upcoming technology and security over the roads when it comes to general Merch and transportation.
There are no driver-less trucks. Every automated transportation vehicle that exists still has a driver in the seat in case of emergency and likely will continue to due to technology's predisposition towards breaking horribly. You won't see a truly driver-less truck until trucks get their own roadways. The driver's responsibilities will just change.
👍Good video, thx👍So true. After 33 years of working in the commercial-industrial refrigeration boilermaker career .... its ALL THE SAME! These companies don’t care about anyone personally. They go by P&L (profit and loss) sheets. Also, personal productivity. I was a well seasoned technician & Supervisor of 17 techs. Was mostly always well paid but it was all because I did my job correctly. If I would have screwed up, I would’ve been gone. That’s just how it is. We are a NUMBER ONLY. And that number is all they (companies) look at and out for the corporate bond of investors and the CEO. They want their million dollars QUICKLY! It’s all the same everywhere while working for the man. ✌️ UNION work is SO much better! Not much but some better....at least in my field of work and my job title. Good luck and if they tell u bullshit, tell them to fuck if.... if you’re worth your “salt”, you’ll have another job in a day or 2. ✌️
Hold up wait a minute..... Did you call out Josh and Allie cause they're not negative!? You said trucking is mostly negative which is incorrect. I been in it 5 years and yes there is bad times but that comes with any job. NO driver is important in my opinion with a big company, with smaller companies yes because their whole business comes down to the few drivers they have. They don't have time to deal with bad drivers like how big companies do and will help work and develop drivers. Granted I'm no angel and i do have an attitude but end of the day trucking is not mostly negative. Trucking is what you make it, Josh and the other guys just have a different view of it. I stand up yes for what I believe but I also know when to pick my battles to win the war. Anyways be safe out there sir. Have a great New Years holiday!
I hate to say it, but YOUR RIGHT. THAT is the problem in ALL industry across this Country. Too many people are sucking it up instead of fighting for what's right and what they deserve.

Good info. I do local work in southern California. I agree that we shouldn't take shit from shippers, Companies or even the DOT. Awesome Videos
STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT. You are the most intelligent Trucker on RUclips.

hmmm....well as long as you are hooked to a trailer you cannot be on personal time ...if your bobtailing thats a different story ,,,,check the DOT/ fmcsa hrs of service rules ....!
jon Rogers I can PC with a trailer... just can't be under a load. Not a lot of companies alow that but mine does.
Personal is only bobtail, empty trailer doesn’t work like that.

I also like that there's a lot of truck traffic I am always alone and it just makes me feel safer. thank you
What is this "empty so I can drive more?" I've never heard of it. I thought if you're driving the truck you're working.. Guess I need to get caught up on my dot rule book.
Line 5 - AKA off duty drive time
RunHard GetPaid I've been wasting so much time sitting around waiting for 10 hours just to go home just down the road from GR (holland)
Off duty driving differs from company to company due to driver abuse, check with your company about off duty driving.
yeah that sounds a bit sketchy , you still fall inside the big day 16 hour rule for local drivers . but the fmcsa is really fuzzy about the stuff your talking about.
This is where artificial intelligence would come in handy,,,,

A useful video in general, relating to more than just trucking. Thanks!
You are absolutely correct on everything you said ! Keep moving in that positive direction!
its not all peaches and cream. sometimes its horseshit and fart grenade. trucking aint easy.
Seems like you got your game together since the tired driving drama video. To be fair to the dispatchers, you did admit to having about 20 hours off duty/sleeper before that overnight run. I think if you never posted that drama you wouldn't have so many haters.
That may be, but that video got over 1/2 a million views and thousands of subscribers.

Abe, this is what I like about you. You have a lot more wisdom to offer then some people trolling
Vic Reece this is so true!
lonlyhousewife I seen your baby! It's big cat truckers baby! Not little guys!! You've been exposed!
you guys have been working for some shit companies wtf!! I'm with ATS no problems. been there 4 years driver managers are awesome! very professional and treat the drivers very well.
You do speak the truth. I wish I could tell the real story bout trucking but I’m still new on RUclips n trucking n can’t. But I tru when I can.
Truck drivers are a dime a dozen these days. If you don't like how it is then there's plenty of people waiting to take your seat.
RussianPaidTroll7729 But they are not all equal. You have good drivers , half ass drivers and drivers that should not be on the road in the truck.
Racer X that, and truckers that know their value can just switch companies and get another job.
im a huge fan........so do what you do. a lot of us support you....
what's up convoy !! what's 12 truckers in a Michigan basement ??? a whine cellar !! any ways run hard get paid I've got to move out of Flint Michigan I can not stand this black hole !!

Dont forget you abandoned a truck slick!
R E and I'd do it again and still chose to do whatever I want in the industry 😚
You know I find it funny that someone gets austracized for abandonment but if a company were to fire you, you turn the truck in where they want then it's up to you to get home. I say fuck that I'm going home and they can come get their truck.
