    Slow trucking confirms that the economy is still in a recession.
    I appreciate the videos. I can deal with the slow trucking days.

    I'd hate to see you give up on RUclips. I'd like to see you collaborate with other channels and get your name out there so that you can grow your subscribers a lot quicker. You're a good man. Good luck

    You are right about the complainers. They will post before someone who is happy!! Hang in there Steve! Freight is slow because, there are still more trucks than freight available. It will take time for balance!

    Been watching your videos lately. I'm thinking about going to the FFE CDL TRAINING. I already have my CDL but I stop driving for personal reasons. And it has been over two years since I got my medical card renewed. Now I have to start all over again it sucks but what can I do. I live in Corpus Christi as well. But I have to do it to get back on the road. And your videos have been helping me to make the decision or not. Take care and stay safe on the road. God bless

    I’m about to be 90 days sober June 16th. I stay in Jackson Mississippi, I look forward to going to the 22Day program at KLLM. I just turned 23 in March.
    I appreciate your videos 💯. Hope I’ll be able to follow your blueprint. I really need this opportunity to work out for me. I’ll love to start off an Otr company driver. I will definitely stay down for the Grind

    Don’t get frustrated buddy. My wife and I team drive and we’ve been doing a bunch of sitting too. We sat in Ellensburg, Wa for 2 days waiting for a reload. Finally got one to Cali and then from Cali to Florida. Freight is just slower for some reason lately. Hopefully the summer will perk things up soon.

    Nice backing job, I think I would've handled it like you did, I tend to be cautious. They trained you well!
    Your attitude is great, sir. I agree there's too much negativity out there. I see it a lot where I work at, and that's at a rehab center. To me it's not worth getting stressed out. Hopefully I'll be taking those steps soon and get myself back on the road. I always found it kinda relaxing. Like they say, if you love your job then it won't feel like work. Anyway, keep up the good work, stay safe, and I'm looking forward to your videos.

    Im in reefer too and ive been sitting a lot more as well. For reference, Ive had a reset virtually every week since may before all that Id probably get a reset in once a month unless i took hometime. Its not KLLM its the industry as a whole is shit right now. Too much capacity for the volume of freight out there.
