My dad was a truckdriver for 30 years, but he died on the job back in 2014 in a crash. Watching this reminds me of the days where i used to ride along with him. Be carefull out there brother!
I work at Home Depot unloading the trucks of 2500+ boxes and loads of pallets and sometimes get two trucks a night, it’s frustrating when you’re done with the 1st truck late at night and waiting on the 2nd truck because they’re late and you wanna go home and sleep before waking up early to go to college . What you said about no load being more important than yourself, made me realize the truck drivers also may be tired and need a quick nap so they get the load to Home Depot safely and that’s why they’re late. Made me change my perspective on how I see the drivers.
I'm a truck driver who eats healthy while OTR. It's not as hard as most people make it. You can either cook your own food, stay out of the fast food areas. I cook in an instantpot while driving, it makes the truck smell good and the food is ready when I finish driving. Dishes can be done when you shower or carry gallons of water under your bunk. As you aren't out for months at a time, you can meal prep healthy meals, freeze them, and then nuke em when it's time to eat. Walmart has a great selection of meal prep containers and rice in pouches. Sam's has bags of pre-cooked chicken breasts and steamable veggies. 2 breasts, 1 bag of rice & 1 bag of veggies per container. Also, don't try to park right next to the truckstop, park further away, and walk. I walk a minimum of 4 miles per day while out here driving and delivering.
Never let someone take your phone. If they genuinely seem like they need to call someone, keep the phone in your hand, you dial the number, & put the call on speaker
true story : my dad let a guy borrow his phone only to use it for a call to sh00t somebody n k1ll them . my dad had the fbi at his door n never seen his phone again .. this was like late 90s .. LA was crazy
Ngl man you and your videos are the reason I pulled the trigger on getting my CDL and now I’m in my cab in some random Love’s parking lot in middle America eating a 20 piece nugget 😂 god speed my boy
Yea man I’m with you n taking care of our health especially us truck drivers ! I got unhealthy real quick after driving for 1 year of driving because all I was eating was fast food ! This week I been eating super clean and healthy and after just 4-5 days I feel a lot of energy again ! Just wait till 4 months go by I’m going to feel super amazing! Eat healthy y’all it’s worth it ! Big time !! Also keep Jesus Christ first in all things ✝️
Amen and amen!!! Something I tell truckers, and have heard Alex tell us; is too work out/move/stretch/calisthenics while you wait to be loaded/unloaded. How have you been doing on your health journey/diet? (You don’t have to answer, just think and reflect
Yea man it’s so hard to stay healthy on the road. I was one of those drivers who didn’t take care of themselves and ended up with type 2 diabetes lead by a stroke. It is so important to do what you can to stay healthy.
Your family is so supportive man his uncle ask him you have been able to do content huh 😂😂 all luv man keep doing your thing Nvr change up my older a trucker he all over the USA man 👍🏾👍🏾
yo im from quebec ... and im so glad to see im here 5 minute on the upload time..thx to keeping me dream every week man ... thx to be yourself .. i feel like a lil girl when i saw you uplaod a video
I love your videos my dad was a truck drive for alout of years I used to work with him pull up trailer drive to company but he has stroke so he Brealy can move he’s doing better tho ❤
Be safe out there Alex, there's a lot of people that'll rob you and hurt you in any way, thank god your safe I'll pray that it'll never happen to you again
Hey G, love your vids! Keep it up! As a fellow Californian (and as someone whos about to enter the trucking industry), ive got three questions for you; 1A) What/Where are some of the better truck-stops & rest-areas in Cali? 1B) What/Where are some of the worst truck-stops/Rest-Areas in Cali? 2(3?) What are the sketchiest cities/areas to deliver-to/pickup-from?
Hey Alex just an idea maybe you and your wife should do meal prep 2 Reasons it could possibly save you some money because eating out and get expensive And give you more healthier options to eat so you can stay true to your healthy lifestyle you're trying to pursue Just an idea 💡 Blessings tocayo
Love the vids Alex. I'm curious, when backing up is it all eye-balling how close are to the dock's door? Why hasn't a backup sensor (or camera) been used for trucks? Cars have them, seems like it would be even more useful for trucks.
Health is wealth it is really the only thing that truly matters there’s people in hospital beds wishing they were in your shoes… take care of yourself and your body ❤
Hey Alex, this is my new id and I see you got your son. I hope he gets the trucking bug and takes after his dad! Maybe one day he'll have you in his trucking videos? I wish you both a great trip keep safe👍
Hey bro love your content and videos. You should get some walkie talkies for when your son stays in the truck and your in the yard. Safety first, I'm sure you've trained your son everything about being in the yard. 🤙🤙
Poor Alex! Our neighbor was a truck driver his entire career. He hauled those giant pumps for water and to filter sand from water. His truck had his wife’s name in chrome on the grill. It was actually very pretty. He always took all the neighbor kids with him to get fuel and the truck washed the night before a trip. We’d go in the Cafe and he’d buy us breakfast. It was always pancakes and bacon. Loved that man. He was a mountain of a man too. Don’t know what he weighed but he was slim but he was 6’6” tall. I come from a short family both men and women. I’m not quite 5’ and I’m kinda tall !!
Brother Alex, the story you was telling bout the sketchy girl. I would say you hit the nail right on the head. If you would have followed her around that corner. That would have probably got bad for you. Smart thinking and going on your way. Be safe and keep little man close to you always.
I listen to true scary stories, don't ever give your phone to someone instead offer to make the call for them. It's a trap, which you did learn. Please always follow your gut and just offer to do the call.
I had a similar situation with a girl in Springfield, Mass a long time ago. Looked super drunk, lost, needed to use a phone. Called PD to come help her but who knows if they found her.
One of the healthiest workouts Alex. is to find a STEEP STREET with a sidewalk to walk briskly up & down 2 laps or so. It strengthens the thighs going up & below the knees walking down. You're welcome!
Granted, I haven't worked in a warehouse in years, so I haven't loaded or unloaded trailers in years, but this is the first time I've ever seen a trucker with his own ramp.
Really curious if trucking is worth the headache/stress bc im so broke and i feels like its im only option bc i dont wanna work fast food nor do i wanna work in a factory and neither of them pay enough. Like i got my permit but not sure if i wanna continue bc i feel id hate trucking and it also worrys me to drive a semi but i feel im just overthinkin it.
If truckers would stop for 48hrs the United States would literally shut down you guys are the backbone of this country
That’s not even close to true

If you have health you have a good life and that’s everything you need no matter if your poor or your parents are strict (what my dad has always said)
Health is wealth 🫡
7:20 dude your honestly lucky because more times than not they don’t wait for around the corner they just rush guys with 4 or 5 people
That’s why as a trucker you should always carry a gun
what is their goal? are they trying to rob the truck/trailer or wallet?
man we need longer videos. once i get comfy in my bed its already over man.
yoo I’m from Salinas it was nice hearing your uncle mention it lol
Love your videos keep going and be successful 😁
I wished all trailers had backup cameras!!!
Congrats on the success your having!
I love that truck stop at the start of the video. I go their for the pizza slices.

6:46 _ How to pay attention to your surroundings! Great Advice! It's crazy how certain women think they can manipulate men "they" think who are dumb!
those women are probably sex trafficked. And guess who stands behind them - a group of man
Can we keep the 20+min videos coming out plz we love watching your adventures
have you ever tried the water after the nap? Whoooooooo works wonders! Stay safe 🎉
Every job has it's ups and downs.
You are lucky you have an Ejack where I used to work at dude would leave with the manual and sometimes would have to take everything by hand
You should get a jackery so you can charge your pallet jack just in case.
