That's my nephew! So proud of his dedication to the career that he was born into and for always striving to be a hard working, trustworthy, genuine young man. Love you Jordan.
I'm 73, and you rock! My father talked me out of trucking, and I listened. Worked at a job I didn't like for 45 years. Big mistake!! Hang around positive people, that's the best advice I can give you. You are going to do well.
I’m 22 and owner op for three months already looking to buy my second truck because I convinced my dad to quit his factory job he’s just getting into trucking says he wants to be owner op so I’m gifting him the first truck I bought once I buy my second truck🤘🏽🤘🏽 I haven’t even been trucking for a whole year too feel like I came a long way💪🏽
@@glennquagmire7484 biting the bullet… like a casino it’ll go good or it’ll go bad… but it’ll be a hell of a lot worse thinking back in 10, 15, 20 years and saying you wish you had done it
I've had my CDL nearly 20 years and I am just now starting to get into the industry. I obtained my CDL training through the military where FL accepted my military license and issued a FL CDL for me. I've always held onto my CDL and completed DOT physicals every 2 years even though I didn't need to. Now that I'm in the midst of a career change, I'm glad I always held onto it. For me, driving truck is like riding a bicycle, a skill I haven't forgot, but now I have to learn the ways of the commercial trucking industry... we'll see how it turns out. 😬
I am now 25 and got CDL at 24, I came to the US at 23, look at this young guy and he is so good. Becoming an Owner Op at 23 has never been easy but he did. Congrats and keep going bro!
@@youngpatrick29 if you have mechanical skills and can handle maintenance and basic repairs I'd say you're good to go. If you don't have the skills to take up the extra costs of those two things then forget it.
I started when i was 24 and right away bought my own truck for 16,500$ cash that had an N14 cummins red block motor. Been trucking 12 years now and i never looked back! The money you can make as an owner operator is 2nd to none! Im 36 now married with kids and trucking has gave me financial security and a future! This young man is cool! Would definitely be friends with Jordan! Hit me up buddy!
Been doing it for 11 years now! Pops taught me and hooked me up with his broker I bought my first truck at 20 yrs old a Freightliner FLD for 5500 bucks doing local work 150 mile radius looking back I was so young but thank God till this day no accidents no tickets and a solid work ethic and that’s something I’m proud of.
Wow, I know this vid is old but man I’m glad to see other drivers my age. Being in this industry since 19, I’ve always felt a sense of loneliness or that I’m missing out on life due to trucking being so time consuming at times.
My advice to young truckers in early 20s is to stay single. You need to have the least amount of reasons to go home as possible. Worrying about some young hot thang running around on you while your gone can end your trucking career pretty quickly. Start your trucking career single and hit the road. Get yourself totally OK with not making it home and staying out on the road. Your truck is your home. Get rid of as much home expense as possible too. Get rid of the car payments and so on. Run the roads and put all the money in your pocket! In a few years you will be WAY ahead. You can buy your own truck with CASH.
So many great young owner operators out here, just not enough limelight on them. So much great potential outweighed by a few bad apples. I feel the industry is in fairly good hands moving forward.
I love it. Definitely gets where he's coming from about the older generation looking at us like were 'pissants'. Nothing in life stays the same & we all have to retire and be replaced one day. Working on buying my first truck this year.
I respect u big truck drivers,I have been driving a flatbed hino for towing business 7yrs now and that's big enough for me. I can only imagine the tight spots u are sent to deliver.
I’m 22. Running beer truck right now my goal is to be owner operator. Feel pretty confident don’t struggle on the highway when I gotta run up 85 and a lot of my stops are downtown stuff. Yeah it’s a shorter trailer but I feel pretty comfortable with it with room for more. Nice to see other young guys doing alright
Hes right most insurance companies won't insure you until your 21 I been in trucking going on 20 years and still love it. I also started with schneider drove a cab over
I got hired at my local Budweiser at 18 doing grocery stores. Got my cdl at 19 thru them. Went otr at 21...just turned 38 and bought my 3rd truck, first 660 thats why im here lol. But keep going brother 💪💪💪
Now theres a young driver with a great attitude! Nice to know theres young drivers with that much class ! Good to know us old guys aren’t just a dieing breed !
I’m 18 and I got my class 1 in Canada earlier this month working for a good company they are gonna put me in one of their trucks right away and I hope to buy my own truck with in the next few years
Smart kid, "if you"re gonna fail do it now while your young worst thing you could lose is money".... i always wished i would've started younger i always had it in my head but it took me until i was 29 to finally get my CDL and now i'm gonna be 35 in a few weeks and it's the best decision i ever made. Everybody thats young or anyone for that matter listen to this kid and do it now no more procrastinating. Next step for me is becoming O/O this year God willing.
I started driving at 19 for a small company,bought my first truck at 20 (been around trucking my whole life) I was doing LTL 20+ stops a day with 45-53 footers you gotta take what you can get when your young and stick it out to get experience, I now haul cars at 23 which is hard to do because most companies want you to be 25 to haul cars so it’s also about who you know.
Seeing younger drivers in this day and age is a sigh of relief for me being 22 and just about to get my CDL. There’s not a whole ton of people documenting their start at such a young age so makes it seem like I’m not the only one.
My childhood was the same, every summer I’d be riding with my pops, all touch freight too. I’d help with the freight at like 8yrs old and he’d give $20 a week 😂. Loved it though
I'm 18 years old turning 19 next month and I've lost so much money, I will continue losing money. Slowly but surely, I'll be free. I plan on going ahead and trying to get my CDL. This man has inspired me! Thanks for bringing these guys on and sharing their experience.
I turned 20 in March and got my commercial license in april. I worked on a vac truck as a swamper for almost 3 years, but today i just went on my first job driving. Worked my way up which is pretty much almost only possible on tow trucks, bed trucks, and vac truck, where you can go from swamper to driver. And its always hard laborious work but now I'm the only guy I know my age thats legally running a truck down the highway at age 20.
A lot of comments about the seat height. It's an interview, he's not driving down the road people, he's sitting in a truck stop gabbing with someone. The Bostrom seat is probably the best one out there (one I wished I'd spring the money for) as far as driver comfort goes. It has a choice of three pedestal heights, I'm guessing he's choosen the short base, which is best for shorter legged drivers. The seat is air ride and the height can be raised with a push of a button.
I got my CDL at 19 also and could not get a job. I ended up driving a dump truck for a local company, then they let me drive the tractor-dump trailers. That's how I finally got some experience..
I had my license at 18 years old fresh out of school and I didn’t get a job lost my license but now I’m back at it gonna get it at 25 let’s see how it goes now , I love this video I wish I watch them when I was younger
Just got my truck at 22. Trucking since 19 been saving for 3 years working at a company finally going to go on my own, it’s not easy especially with these insurance companies.
I had my CDL after I turned 18, I was still in high school driving on the weekends and nights hauling milk. I've had my CDL 23 years now and have driven or been involved in the industry my entire life. This young man reminds me of myself with his drive and unwillingness to quit.
Did 6 months for experience and saved a shit ton, now I have my 2017 t680 kw, fucking love my truck , I’m hauling heavy haul because my family owns their own heavy haul company and soon to take over, and I’m 23 years old, god is good
This sells as a t608 in Oz. Different dash and interior.. That ooks phat as. Not over done.👍 I'd say our interior is better. Our custom style is different. Roads are rough and alot of wild game to hit. Check into it if your a true lover of this model on line. KW t600 through to t608. Dream on.👍
I need to get in touch with this young man. I'm 26 and been driving for 7 years now. I run round the Carolinas and Atlanta daily. How can I get in touch with him Asian Mai Show? Wow. Love this. 🙌🏾🙌🏾praises to him.
I’m 19 and got my CDL a few months ago and it’s darn easy to find a job mostly agricultural I’m currently doing flat bed tho right now maybe it’s because I’m in California
I saved a bunch of money for a tractor ... then a bunch more for anticipating repairs... Now the big question... What is the better truck to get and motor???
I love American Rigs, I’ve been trucking for 10 years across Europe, but I don’t think I could get on with how low the seating position is, I like to be high and seeing the road and trailer, I’d actually find that really difficult sitting on the floor
When I started I learned not to tell I HAVE a cdl and WHEN a MAN asks you to help him out and drive FOR HIM FOR A couple of weeks, say IAM busy RIGHT NOW BUT I WILL HOLLER at you IN a few months and see WHAT u doing.
I wish i was an owner operator got my cdl at 21 currently driving for cr england trying to get experience and save for my truck but i have no idea where to start what to buy and how to get started im just a youngin trying to make money young
it can be done. I know a guy that went to the local community college at 20 and got his CDL, and before he was finished with the class he got a job offer from a local heavy haul company, they have a 9 month of training for the new guys, and he was doing in state short runs and when he turned 21 he started doing oversize overweight regional trips. listen to this guy, and do NOT borrow money for an automobile and never run up credit cards you cant pay off every month.
