Thank you all for the positive attitude I’m going strong and i can’t wait to start trucking and make some bread . I’m not a lazy person and I’ll take on any task be safe everyone!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I’m soo envious of you and your bro … my dad drove truck and retired before I got my cdl and non of my other relatives truck I wish I got the Chance to do what y’all are doing together that’s so dope.. stay safe and hammer down boys 🤙🏾
Couple weeks back I was cruising with your brother coming back from Albany, tell him I said hi! Long Sherman’s are the worst union out there, catching up on your vids while there is no work at the port, thanks to Bidonomics
Here in the Land of Emerald, we know you guys have better things to do than hang out with us. Also, having spent 13 years behind the wheel, i know what you guys are up against. "Not every day is the superbowl" they say. Take comfort in the fact that you Boys ride in 2 of my most favorite trucks... That right there would make the bad days not so bad if you think about it!
Idk if your brother minds at all but I personally ENJOY THE MOST IS you telling us the viewer the advice your giving your brother since he is learning and growing fast. I personally enjoy it because it give me video to look back at in the future once I Start driving over the road. And to those that are now driving or gonna be driving. THE ROOKIES xD. Keep up the videos bro
What’s up Homeboy this is E from Wenatchee wrote you a comment on your chain tutorial not long ago but today coming into Spokane I saw your little brother hauling a load of beams,any way you all stay up keep up the channel and your work
Yes the union life is very different. Been in a union warehouse and a union driver. The modern union only benefits the workers that screw up. If you are a stand up productive employee you'll never see the benefit of a union. I could go on and on. You are doing the right thing Kam, just be patient. It is their world and you may have to come back there. Don't ruffle any feathers. Love your channel and the content. Saw Norm Butler on one of your shorts. Great guy!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work!!
I used to deliver heavy equipment parts to this mine site that had a union, if I showed up at 11:55 they would help me until 12 and then they would go on lunch break lol If I needed a signature I would even have to wait until they are done.
from him putting it in 4th in the yard to convoying! this is great im glad i made my way back to your channel i hate that YT unsubbed me. Resubbed now!
I drive for systems transport. I used to run your neck of the woods. Miss it up there. Run home Depot from sf to Reno. They run like there union and it's frustrating
I haul steel around Ohio and go down to Kentucky sometimes and everytime, you could be down there in line with 5 trucks and it takes an hour, or you could be the only truck and it takes 5 hours, then drive 3 hours back home. I feel your pain brother
Man you guys were in my neck of the woods and in-n-out is right next to where I work, I'll have to keep my eye out next time. 🤣 Unions are like every other system put in place to protect people, some shitbags will take advantage. Keep up the good work!
So I work at a winery and we load/unload bulk wine. We aren’t union so if a truck shows up we load or unload weather it’s break or lunch.. and truckers say that places that are union. It could be 1” out and it’s break they shut the pump off and go to lunch
It’s pretty awesome you and your brother have such a relationship. Wish mine was they way. Other note the Union Sucks!! They’ve made the workers slackers not motivators!!
Bro I love your video and will still keep watching. You and the bro are super motivation. Due to that I’m working on my CDL and would hope to motivate my little brother just like you since he just got his permit 💪. I love the advice on how to deal with companies or employees And the Union things it might bother you bro but don’t think much of it. Everyday there gonna be something that’s gonna go wrong. Just keep working hard and work pass it you mad motivational bro.
I used to haul logs to a paper mill that was union. Them guys didn’t give a shit. The worst part was the round wood yard (where the logs got delivered to) was closed usually 3-5 days a month due to ‘maintenance’ . But we all think it was all because they had enough wood to last a few days and just didnt want to work.
Unions are great. They do do a service for the workingman, but they hide behind the rules. I also drove a flatbed when I go shop. I feel the same way because I had to tarp the load & strap the load down make it secure .Then drive to the destination and unstrap & pull the tarp off. Ifeel that I do more work than they do.
You're 100% on the union. I started at ABF Freight in May, I'm only here for the health/dental insurance benefits for my family and I. It's literally the best you can get 100% paid by the union. Pay is $30.24/hour, overtime after 8 everyday. But people DEF lazy on the breaks, smoke breaks, etc. Everyone wants the gravy runs. Non-union could do the same exact work for way less $$. Just my opinion. My wife and I in mid 30's so we need some major dental work and health issues to get sorted out before I leave the company, again that's the only reason I'm staying.
I agree with you 💯 I've dealt with union places here In Jersey they can be a headache I delivered to a place had a noon time appointment got there early no trucks there but me no one came in after me I'm the only one there they put me in the door at noon they were in the office playing cards wasn't doing anything could have unloaded me and got me going but cause they were union oh we're strictly appointments I felt like punching someone in the face but I didn't that was back in the 70s
I worked for a union as a mechanic wasn’t bad for the breaks but otherwise it was useless but as a trucker I know exactly what your taking about I remember having to drop 2 cars in port had then off before there break with like 5 mins to spare nope had to sit there and wait a hour for them to do there damn lunch and wouldn’t even let me leave to literally load in the lot next store 😑😑
I go to the port of seattle and tacoma everyday. The longshoremen i encounter on a day to day basis are decent people, some are assholes and those are the only guys you remember. They do take hour and a half lunches and that shits annoying
I’m union and the healthcare benefits we get are about the only benefit. Being a truck driver I don’t take my breaks like “you’re supposed to”. Most union workers are “lazy” because they know it’s harder for a company to fire you. For the most part I believe non-union companies are treating their employees good now. The Unions of played their part and got all the changes and improvements needed in the job sector. Our retirement plan is better than a 401k too.
Man if you only knew about the union jobs you shouldn't comment. There are contractual agreements that are strict. When I left the ILWU in the 90s I was throwing over 660 cases per hour. It's very hard work and most truckers couldn't hack it. Trust me.
just so you kno man gotta go by the ontract they both signed. The company agreed to the contract therefore company gets in trouble for making someone work through their break.
The organization and being able to have benefits especially a pension are a huge plus. The problem comes when the power is abused or they are not taking into consideration economy, profit margins etc ive witnessed companies go under do to their selfishness then everyone loses. Btw ive been treated worse at non union warehouses as well. Unions great in concept and theory but if theres no discipline or consequences man will always abuse their power. ( companies and workers)
Cool vids bro but just so you know 9 times out of 10 they aren’t going to turn you away because they don’t want to pay an extra shipping fee lol and the union thing we’ll I’ve never been in one but I’ve heard good and bad things about it so I wouldn’t know but as for right now I’m good where I’m at no union get paid very well and have good equipment but not as good as y’all but it’s new and very well maintained
I used to keep a carton of smokes and a roll of chew in the truck for just this occasion. I don’t smoke or chew but a little prison currency was always good to bribe those kinda guys to stay late or put in just a little extra try.
When I worked at the Fred meyer DC in puyallup. Our fork lift drivers would always work through there first break up to lunch because they were trying to get the drivers in and out. Until the company made them follow the union rules and take break exactly at the same time every day. Total bullshit. Union has a ton of good stuff and a ton of bad stuff. When I was at Boeing, it was just pathetic how many lazy workers were there. Remember people saying there boeing gloves were in there pockets...
Bro I worked for a union an all i have to say is that the union stewards were more on the company side then backing us up. A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT!! I stayed in some shit an only 1 steward had my back but the others over ruled him every time..
I’ve been a union member for 10 years. And honestly it depends on the person there’s plenty of guys here that a shit ass employees. Then we have plenty that work hard and get things done. And we get the same benefits and protection and the shitty ones. It depends on the people and the company you’re working for.
I’ve been working union jobs most of my life and it really depends on what company you’re working for. I worked for a dirt hauling company for 17 years and they were union but it was go go go go bust your ass! And now I am at a different company and we are also union but it is a lot of lollygagging and we don’t finish today. There’s always tomorrow and a Longshoremen. Those guys are the worst. You are basically working on their schedule you guys are different. You’re independent truck drivers and you’re all about get going don’t waste time but when you’re at a yard and you’re working under a union people you’re basically under their time
I've worked 2 union jobs, the railroad and in a trucking teamster. Both reward the guy doing the least and the second you show initiative or bust a@# you get swarmed by all of the slowest guys being pissed off you are actually doing your job. Protecting your pay making sure you are paid what you are worth is great but all the lazy effs really do make it a pain in the a#$ to just go to work, get your s(*& done and go home. There are tons of union jobs out there that do not operate in the 2 examples i had to endure but eff that. Whole reason i went O/O. Done with dealing with other peoples bs.
I have also worked 2 union jobs. I am still working one of them. You are exactly right. Fuck unions. They only benefit lazy workers. Those of us that work our asses off end up getting screwed. The supervisors see who gets the job done and who doesn’t. So they end up putting more on your plate than they do the lazy fucks.
Union backed employees are definitely lazy. I’m under a union but I PULL MY WEIGHT. I don’t sit on my ass and cry union when I’m confronted for being slow or refusing to work. I rather not be union. Everyone is so lazy and their laziness causes everyone else who just wants to get in and get out to be held up.
This is BS, no doubt. The priority should be to get you unloaded, so that you can get out of there. This is worse is your hauling a dry van or reefer load.
Nah nah bro don’t butter it up, that shit makes no logical sense be courteous and think of others and take those extra 5min and get me tf out of here cupcake 😂
Over 43 years of experience driving out of Fl. The B/S I’ve seen with union workers is unbelievable! Like your videos from a 3 million mile driver !!!
🫡 salute to you

Bro I love your video and will still keep watching. You and the bro are super motivation. Due to that I’m working on my CDL and would hope to motivate my little brother just like you since he just got his permit 💪.

I agree some workers use the union for a shield and some are down right lazy!!!
One more thing. When they do that they put you up against your clock!! Forgot to say congrats to your brother on his new ride and new job!!!
This is so true
The Drake of Trucking
UPS is union and those guys work like crazy
Unions are great. They do do a service for the workingman, but they hide behind the rules.
I also drove a flatbed when I go shop. I feel the same way because I had to tarp the load & strap the load down make it secure .Then drive to the destination and unstrap & pull the tarp off. Ifeel that I do more work than they do.
Hauling scrap for the garbage company I work for get there only need dump and they go on lunch. Used to drive me crazy.

I turn around and bring it back I ain’t moving unless I’m getting paid the same rate back down lol
And I wish we had In N Out Burgers down here!
What is up y’all !!!
You're 100% on the union. I started at ABF Freight in May, I'm only here for the health/dental insurance benefits for my family and I. It's literally the best you can get 100% paid by the union.

i agree your bros truck looks angry 👍💪
You using the hat camera mount just curious ?
I agree with you 100% on unions that use the root to protect themselves so they don’t have to work hard.
You don't get a lunch break
I agree with you 💯 I've dealt with union places here In Jersey they can be a headache I delivered to a place had a noon time appointment got there early no trucks there but me no one came in after me I'm the only one there they put me in the door at noon they were in the office playing cards wasn't doing anything could have unloaded me and got me going but cause they were union oh we're strictly appointments I felt like punching someone in the face but I didn't that was back in the 70s
Hey man I forgot to tell you I passed my CDL test finally I am officially a Class A CDL holder!!!!
Congratulations
Thanks man you channel is awesome
I worked for a union as a mechanic wasn’t bad for the breaks but otherwise it was useless but as a trucker I know exactly what your taking about I remember having to drop 2 cars in port had then off before there break with like 5 mins to spare nope had to sit there and wait a hour for them to do there damn lunch and wouldn’t even let me leave to literally load in the lot next store 😑😑
Unions protect the unemployable, plain and simple.
I go to the port of seattle and tacoma everyday. The longshoremen i encounter on a day to day basis are decent people, some are assholes and those are the only guys you remember. They do take hour and a half lunches and that shits annoying

What do you typically average for mpgs?
Man if you only knew about the union jobs you shouldn't comment. There are contractual agreements that are strict. When I left the ILWU in the 90s I was throwing over 660 cases per hour. It's very hard work and most truckers couldn't hack it. Trust me.
Hey bruh!! What year is the Peter BILT? That thing is sick, bro!!
just so you kno man gotta go by the ontract they both signed. The company agreed to the contract therefore company gets in trouble for making someone work through their break.
I’ll never understand why working class people bash unions. They’re the only organization fighting for working people.
The organization and being able to have benefits especially a pension are a huge plus. The problem comes when the power is abused or they are not taking into consideration economy, profit margins etc ive witnessed companies go under do to their selfishness then everyone loses.

Hahahaha!!!!!
those are two sexy trucks!!
What company do you guys work for
Bro why don’t you charge detention time?
Don't they have to pay detention pay after 2hr of being there...
Back to back on some drake shit 😂😂 I see you
When I worked at the Fred meyer DC in puyallup. Our fork lift drivers would always work through there first break up to lunch because they were trying to get the drivers in and out.

Remember people saying there boeing gloves were in there pockets...
Man what you said about union workers is so fucking true lmao
The reason why most companies moved their manufacturing to China and Mexico because of them union workers
Bro I worked for a union an all i have to say is that the union stewards were more on the company side then backing us up. A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT!! I stayed in some shit an only 1 steward had my back but the others over ruled him every time..

They don’t care about u my man than it will take them 20mins to get back to work it’s joke
That’s union workers for you. That’s why I’m not a union worker. They couldn’t even finish unloading you so you guys can get out of there that’s bs
This is BS, no doubt. The priority should be to get you unloaded, so that you can get out of there. This is worse is your hauling a dry van or reefer load.
