[@bagasdilts1080]

Hey I’m from Rochester, NY. I work at a receiving dock and talk to a lot of truck drivers. I appreciate your hard work i know it ain’t easy.

[@TheTruckerKidd]

Thanks

[@jerrymarshall1360]

Hi, it doesn't matter how long your vlogs are, i will watch them to the end. I enjoy your long vlogs, they're entertaining. Hearing you talk is interesting.

[@TheTruckerKidd]

Thank you

[@kazithecanecorso2724]

Great job on the backing. Thanks for the video

[@Zbourchich]

Finally, we have CHEZ replacement here .. stay safe bro !

[@JC-tn8zh]

[@gnmorales1]

Rookie driver in a brand new truck like THAT??? at SWIFT??? you are batting a thousand right now kid #salute #respect I wish I could’ve been out there with ya stay safe and strong out there bro

[@RICHIESCOCINA]

[@TheTruckerKidd]

Haha I watch Chez too he’s actually the reason I became a trucker

[@RICHIESCOCINA]

Keep doing what you doing bro...long videos are the best to explain and teach alot

[@charliekim577]

Your commentary making me LAUGH OUT LOUD! Hilarious!

[@TruckingacrossAmerica]

Good video. I would recommend keeping them under 20mins though. A video about how you got started, cdl school etc would.be great!

[@TheTruckerKidd]

will do thanks!

[@takeovamxbc3403]

@@TheTruckerKidd anything under 45 minutes is excellent you can split your videos out better like that and make more instead of 1 long video

[@virtualtruckdrivervr]

im riding with you

[@RrawVeganNee]

New subbie ! Love the videos . Keep them coming !

[@JoTrev1]

If you ever hooked to a reefer, and battery dies just use the engine on the reefer to start the truck up. You could jump start with your car too if possible.

[@TheTruckerKidd]

Thanks

[@narrowpath2980]

Hey bruh, you got a fridge in there ?
some companies will let you put the camera anywhere stationary except on the head . Are you using ELD or Tablet ? Did you have to train first with someone before you went solo ?
I’m glad you like it so far, where is this at ?,stay safe bro.

[@andrewoldacre1683]

U need to go to a outdoor store and purchase a extreme cold weather sleeping bag..1 candle..matches..go to Walmart get some can food..water..crackers...juice..

[@antoniobattle7081]

Don't feel bad I had too work before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving day ,But the good thing out of it got that time and half pay plus holiday pay so it was worth it.

[@JC-tn8zh]

For swift?

[@RICHIESCOCINA]

Commentary is a must bro... without it it will be boring....

[@TheTruckerKidd]

I’ll keep commentary then 👌

Great video, I hear an accent. May I ask what country your family is from?

[@ms.hadley2480]

Hey I really like your backing technique. Can you show more of those? I never seen it done that way. Thanks and stay warm. :)

[@TheTruckerKidd]

Will do !

[@IparanoiaZ]

It's called a modified 45 Degree back. It originated from a 90 degree but most cant do a 90 without hitting something. So a modified 45 is usually easier for people to grasp and do. i would explain it... but i personally wont be doing modified 45's OTR. If i do its because my trainer asked me too LMAO.

[@MJ_Da_Troquero]

Bro u have the preview on while ur recording just and FYI that drains the battery faster and plugging in the batter when it’s low does NOT prevent the GoPro from not overheating it’ll overheat regardless cause it has nothing to do with the battery…what u can do to minimize all that drop ur fps to 24fps and turn off the recording light and the screen and don’t connect it to ur phone unless ur going to review or transfer footage
BTW GoPro are no good they are the #1 overheating king
Next time go with insta360 4K mod or DJI osmo action 4

[@juanfigueroa9931]

Yea I wanna know I thinking about going with them I’m in California

[@waddup177]

Fam where the video about how the time sheet work in trucking

[@JC-tn8zh]

Save your money and buy the beater if you think you won't be driving it a lot. I'm making payments on a car I love but I'm so disappointed in how often I really get to drive it. The payments make it feel like it's not worth it. Wish I could buy it out right.

[@46GarageUSA]

As a rookie, what can you expect your take home pay to be after they take out the taxes ?
A week ?
Or biweekly pay ?

[@TheTruckerKidd]

Pay is weekly pay. I run pretty hard so my current pay is around $980-$1200 a week after taxes. But has a rookie your pay can be different depending on what account you are on

[@46GarageUSA]

@@TheTruckerKidd how many miles a week ?

Is Swift a good company for beginners? Keep the videos comin' :) Camera is a bit to high in my opinion..

[@TheTruckerKidd]

I got a video coming out about swift. I’ll fix the camera angle soon.

[@Americanspy-hn2kw]

Are you coming back? I saw your comment on one of chezs videos and started watching you but now I see you're not uploading anymore 😢

[@TheTruckerKidd]

Will be coming back soon🤞

[@charliekim577]

What do you look like? You should update your profile pic of your portrait

[@toddfergus8353]

Great video. Are you still working for Swift?

[@TheTruckerKidd]

No

You can burn the candle in a cup ...open ur windows a little..the candle will keep u warm....

[@streetskatevideos1]

Love your videos

[@juanfigueroa9931]

Swift be here in my school also I graduate in a few weeks

[@jerrymarshall1360]

Wish we could see you driving.

[@prestonsharpe5266]

im tryin to get into trucking did you do a video about the hours n drive time an how it works

[@TheTruckerKidd]

Our time is called “ DOT clock” it’s 11 14 70. 11 is how many hours we can drive a day. 14 is how many hours we can stay on duty in combination with not moving or driving. And the 70 is how many hours a week we are allowed to drive. If your 70 clock run out you have to take a 35hr reset, and if your 11 or 14hr clock run out you have to take a 10hr reset

[@mikeb4208]

Let me ask you how are they with your home time I start with them soon on a dedicated route

[@TheTruckerKidd]

The account im on hometime policy is pretty good. You don’t have to clean out your truck if you are gone for 7 days. I can’t say the same for other accounts tho.

[@mikeb4208]

Thanks bro paperwork’s stating 5 days out we’ll see though 😂😂

[@TheTruckerKidd]

If ur trailer is leaking air..why are u leaving the yard...Swift Safety...I hope ur paying attention

[@thebestfeelingissuccess5424]

That’s the sound of the truck actually supplying the trailer with air. He got it the other way around

[@joshalex93]

It's perfectly fine for the air to be leaking a little.. That just means the seals are worn on the connectors..

[@andrewoldacre1683]

Ur in a Brand new truck..why are ur batteries dead...what are they teaching u guys..

[@joshalex93]

Brand new truck doesn't mean jack squat... I don't know why people seem to think new vehicles are supposed to be perfect and not break
