Why I Quit My Job...

- We all know that the one constant in life is change. People change, situations change, jobs change. Here’s my story.
Follow along on my final day trucking in Ol' 111. This truck and I have been through a lot together since 2014, the memories of some of our adventures are captured in videos you can find right here on the channel.
Though I don’t own the truck, I do own many personalized pieces on it including the Bentz sleeper, steering wheel, shifter, lights, etc. My son and I spent a Saturday removing these parts and putting much of the Kenworth back to stock.
Let me say this clearly; I am NOT leaving RUclips or any of the other jobs I have. I’m still a writer for LargeCar Magazine. I’m still pinstriping. I’m still planning out future projects that will be featured here on the channel, both hot rod and semi truck!
By stepping out of the cab and turning wrenches for my day job I will have MORE TIME to spend on making content with my sons that we can be proud of. I have big hopes for the future and I can confidently say that the Lord God has led me here. There’s no better feeling than knowing his leading.
So. This is not a goodbye video, it’s letting you know about a turn in the directions and I hope you’ll follow along! The future is looking bright and I can’t wait to show you the new shop(s) where we’ll be building awesomeness. I plan to go to MANY truck shows to get interviews and do pinstriping. We are planning on joining the Hot Rod Power Tour with our father-son built Cutlass. Plus so much more. It’s gonna be awesome. Guaranteed it’ll be blue collar an fun. As always it’ll be kid friendly and seeking to glorify Christ.
So here’s to the new adventure! Who’s with me?

Got me in my feels brother. Choked up and a little teary eyed like I’m losing a best friend. I pray that your new adventure and endeavors are full of joy and blessed by the grace of God.
Amen!
The best part of this channel is your character. I believe most of us would continue to support no matter what you decided to do.
I always tell my younger coworkers “you can’t buy time” but I don’t think they get it yet.
You know sir your right. After 8 years of long hrs plumbing I think less time working is better
Life is too short to spend it chasing a dollar. We gotta appreciate the moments as they come. I just subbed now because of this video. Never seen your channel before . Keep up the great work and make sure you enjoy every moment of existence because we’re very limited on it.
Congratulations brother do what your heart says I'll be watching!!!
Work/Life balance is everything brother! Much respect to you!
I don't blame you go for it I got out 12 years ago never missed it
Buddy YOU ARE THE MAN ! WAY TO STAND UP ! !
Ain’t no one on their deathbed ever said I wish I could do one more delivery. Time is the only currency that cannot be replenished. God bless you brother, you’re doing the right thing.
2 things of change.
1- find the job you love and you'll never have to work a day I your life.
2- if you cannot direct the winds, you can adjust your sails. I worked for the usps and thought I hit my dream job but was hectic, long long hours only having to do it again and again 6 days a week 14 hours days.. took my life away from me and my family. Respect it's for the singles and no children type job to start then go long run.. but I'm in my 50s and it made me think about well being for me and my tribe. So best of luck with you and new path bro. You did right.
Just came across this video and really put me in my feels. I was just terminated from job today unexpectedly. While I am still upset over it, I'm also happy now I have some time to spend with my wife and niece. Your video gave me some hope that better things are ahead for me. You definitely earned yourself a new subscriber, loved the Bible verse at the end. Look forward to your next video. You definitely made the right decision.
Driving your days away is not all there is in life... Glad your doing what makes ya happy!
Awesome.......there is definitely not enough honest mechanics around.....👍🏻👍🏻
A M E N. !
I did the same. This is my last week of OTR for the same reason. You are just spending your life on the road and realizing that the money are not the first thing in your life.
My actual first time seeing your channel and dude I TOTALLY SUPPORT YOUR TRANSITION. Since I bought my truck my hobbies (vintage motorcycle repairs, small engine repairs, hitting the gym) are bygone. I love what I do but damn it's at a cost. I wish you and your family well sir.
I’m going to miss you driving that awesome kenworth but I can’t wait to see the next chapter of your channel.
Don't ever second guess making any decisions to spend more time with family and following you dreams. Life goes by so quickly.
Best of luck in your new adventurers mate. It's cool to see you are always trying to improve things in life for yourself and others.
Just ran into your channel here for the first time describing your last day driving for this company. Going to go back to being a mechanic and spending more time with your kids. Passion is something that a lot of people do not have and I commend you for following that passion. I’ll celebrate with you on your new path in life. We have such a short time on this earth so spend it with the family, friends and meet some new friends along the way. I’ll subscribe to your channel so I can follow you. So show us that passion.
Thanks for sharing
Hey please don't leave trucking.
I'm a mechanic getting into trucking! We just canceled each other!!!😂
That sounds great. Bless You Phillip for making your life better...
Yahoo! I’m happy for you brother! Doing something for yourself and do what you want is super and getting to be with your family is even better. So important. I wish I had woke up and did the same thing sooner than I did. Love seeing your content and will continue to be watching. I’m not looking forward to our cold weather coming up but yes we survive. I’ll be praying for your success.
Saturdays for the boys!! Good on you bud. Always Family first passion second.
Good for you Brother. Enjoy your family congratulations and best of luck with your decision. It was a great video and a great channel. I'm right there with you. See you Saturday.
Good for you congratulations
I wish you the Best of luck for the future
Good lucky buddy. Definitely going to keep watching you channel.
Goodluck Phil, you're good Dad.
Just going to miss the Truck.
Noooooooo that’s a beautiful rig….
I’ve been in and out of trucking for the last 42 years. I always keep coming back for more. The only difference is I truck because I want to not have to. Bought a old wore out 379 and rebuilt it front to back and work when I want. Good luck on your next venture.
That's what makes it fun, having a nice truck to drive. Driving the new junk just isn't the same.
See you next week Flannel. Take care.
I was a little sad at the beginning and then I listen to your reasons why and I think it’s a very good move for you because you get to follow your passion spend quality time with your family and kids and teach them everything at the same time that’s a win-win in my book all of it
Praying that all goes well for you. I’ll definitely keep watching 🙌🏻 love the pinstripe videos, the truck lettering videos, the rat rod videos, and look forward to seeing more of the crown 150.
I just sold my truck, actually heading the guys house to get the money. Will se what am going to do. God bless us all. 🙏🏼
Really enjoy your channel Sir. I wish you the best of luck in the future. God bless you and your family.
A always enjoy your videos and applaud you for putting family first and following your dreams.
Good luck on the new venture brother! We’ll be here with you to watch and in spirit with you as you continue on ! 👍🏼👍🏼
I'll be watching,no matter what,keep it real!!
All the very best buddy........hope you have all been well. I'll be in touch.....CJ #peaceandgrease
Time is definitely the most valuable commodity - good luck on your new endeavour 👊
May Gods grace and mercy be with you and yours. Gods love never fails .stay true my bro.
Goodluck on the new endeavor. You trucked first class all the way with dedication and pride no dought. But there comes a time when a new calling grabs us and it's onward to the next chapter in life. I just left 25 years of firefighting behind and being home on a regular schedule to enjoy with family is everything. Everything ya said hit home with me. So I'm staying tuned in and wish you happiness, that's what we all deserve. Peace and Grease.
at least you'll get your life back, happy for you,good luck
Good for you driv,ah wish you the ABSOLUTE best,GOD bless you driv,ah well miss you behind the wheel 😪
I wish you the best my friend , keep the videos coming ! 😎🍺♥️
Good logic! Good luck on your new adventures!
Good luck on your new adventure Phil, your a class act !! Glad that you plan on helping the younger generation learn the trades.
Hope the best. Self employed and more personal time hasn’t been the case for me.
Go for it bro! Best of luck and God bless ya!
Bitter sweet! STAY FOCUSED!
People don’t understand TIME! Happy Trails Brother
Will keep watching you brother. I hope you are happier.
Philip you havre to follow your passion and i understand the time thing i missed out on so many things in life because I drove a truck dont get me wrong i loved it at the time have a great day be safe.
Good decision 👌
Video came up on the feed, clicked it and enjoyed it.
Looking forward to watching your content.
Saludos from Los Angeles
U go boy make them in 2 man have fun with your family good job love uuu man...
Excelente video hermano bendiciones para ti y para toda tu familia y tu trabajo feliz año nuevo
To be honest, i really enjoyed the trucking content, but if you choose to switch to car content, i wish you all the best, but thats not the thing i enjoy. dont get me wrong, you are a great guy, it is just not my thing. pease and grease brother!
Good luck bro you got to do whats best with you
Fact brother. Trucking take away too much time from your daily life. I’m in the same boat right now and finding a exit route to make money and have my time again
It's not a left turn brother, it's the right turn. We will keep watching because of who you are.
You have to take your family time before work life.
First time viewer. Good luck to you Phil, I applaud the way you think bro. Family first, always
Getter done buddy
I have really gotten into your channel over the last few weeks. We have done a lot of similar mods to out trucks. I have a 2000 Kenworth long hood. Ever since I watched your sleeper video I have been searching hard for an old sleeper. I haul Utility poles from Or to Nv and it would save me about $1300.00 a week in motels. Anyway good luck on your new adventure, and I am excited to see what you have in store for the channel.
Wishing you the best brother ❤️ 🙏 💙
Good luck on your new job hope the best for you
Good for you, fallow your dream, best of luck. You have great talent.
If you happen to see my comment. I would say to you if your old boss ever put KW up for sale you need to buy it. You and the KW just have that connection plus the history together. I really enjoy your vlogs.😁🙏
Should give it to him for his dedication to his work while there.....
@@moondog3162 I agree with that.
Subscribed as in over 17 years of a full time semi and trailer mechanic all i ever see is mechanics become drivers and never coming back. Average age of driving is 62. Could you do a vidio on the money from driving vs wrenching.
I hope that maybe you undertake a project where you build a truck rod where you use a semi truck cab to create a pickup style on a newer lighter chassis and driveline than a semi has. I hope to create something like that with an extra KW cab and hood I got.
Your family and happiness is the frist thing all else will fall in place
You will do well in your new adventures! I’m looking forward to the new direction! As a brother in Christ- I will continue to pray for you!
Good for you. Great decision to spend time with your children and family. These are the most important years of their lives. God bless you and your family.
Good for you ! Recognize the importance of time
Good luck and God bless yo.
Thank you buddy for being so very honest with us I understand you must be happy in your life thanks for all the great content
Got to do what you got to do I will keep watching you and your son's!
No way!!! I could never get out of truck like that
Good luck
i did the same. parked my truck went back to turning wrenches. still have my truck and drive it ones a week but i like being home anymore on my acreage
I too hit an BMW in my first and only year OTR . I'm going back to trucking after an 20 year hiatus (disability) ; had all my knuckles on right hand , both knees and hips replaced , soo excited about my future . Although more surgeries in the future . I'll keep you informed in the future . Haven't ever watched you before but I think I'll subscribe even though I'm in Florida as I think you'll be somewhat relatable to me . Hope to have some land in the future , maybe a pet bull and do some hunting along with owning my first boat so maybe some deep water fishing . We'll see !
Congratulations Philip
As a former steel hauler grinding 80 hour weeks trucking from 18-27 years old and still running family buisness when Dad got sick from cancer & then making a switch to running buisness and taking it over when he passed away I couldent be happier, always got the itch but now get too enjoy it as a hobby compared to a job. Time is worth everything & trucking consumes you & leaves you no time. Cheers
passionate video - i feel where your coming from, good luck in life, time isnt something you can get back. best wishes.
I feel ya brother.Good move especially since your boys are in those teen years. They need You. Thats when I made moves to be home more. Time is a precious commodity many of us take for granted. No matter how much money we make on our last day here we can't buy more of it. Enjoy yourself man. Live it up! 🙏🤙
Whatever you do, just keep the content coming. I love the big rig content, but as a mechanic and artist, I enjoy your vlogging and style. I would watch you fix lawnmowers lol
Good luck hope you enjoy ur new job plus the time off I know what it was like trucking
I just put my two weeks notice thks alot I feel great 😃👍
You're not alone in winter driving. It used to not bother me. However, knowing one wrong move or one bad storm hauling 140,000 lbs gross could mean my life or someone else's is getting old. I'd rather park the truck for the winter.
Right there with you brother! I'm otr now n contemplating something similar move...
Its funny you mention trucking in the snow I quit trucking and now I am a 23 year county plow driver and I love the snow.
You like snow come to Michigan
Money never buys youth or time when you leve all that remains are memories
Thank you
Time with family is un- measurable in money
Trucking is a disease with not cure once in the blood never cured. Trucking a dispatcher goes home at 5PM when the driver is away stuck everywhere but home
I'd rather work less hours per week making the same amount, then get a raise and have the amount of hours stay the same. Can always make more money, you can't make more hours in a day. Good luck my man. You're doing what I wish I had the balls to do. Keep it up!
What does it say about the times we're living in when a man like this, has only 9k subs and kids with no talent destroy anything nice, expensive or rare, make millions off millions of subscribers.
God's got this looking forward to your new content 👍👍
Great news guy , I can't think of anything better to do with my time than watching you and your son's work in a repair shop . You should take this to Hollywood , Im sure people can't wait . L O L
Chanel won’t be the same without the rat rod kw my man 🥺
