Truckers call 'em "Reefers"
Hi what camera setup do u have
IOWA?!? I live in upper northwest Iowa. I live an hour away from Sioux Falls South Dakota. I always see GP trans co trucks there. Wondering if that’s maybe you in one of them 😮😂
6th most violent city
Im a new cdl holder any chance u can get me on with ur company?
im gona hear this blinker sound in my sleep tonight
1. Memphis, Tennessee. The most dangerous city in the USA is Memphis, Tennessee. With a population of 628,127, Memphis has a crime rate that is 237% higher than the national average.Feb 10, 2023
Detroit is ranked 2nd.. Misinformation Alex.
Detroit isn’t even Michigan’s most violent city 🤷🏼♂️
You can take that plastic wall out, also get a leaf blower instead
Clickbait title to get 100k easy views.
@@scottied67 fair enough.
It’s funny. The Walmart he stopped at was in Benton Harbor. The real most dangerous city in MI
Flint is pretty violent too🫣
A good rule of thumb when driving in freezing rain if it’s freezing to the back of your mirror, then it can and will freeze on the roads. Safe travels.
That's straight outta the manual.
Quick tip....if you would take your seatbelt off while trying to back in you could probably see much easier with less hassle lol
Some companies that have cameras in the truck, want you to have seatbelt on at all times during any driving or reverse motion, including a quick backup.
@@robfourseven no company is that strict.
@@tutie Mine is ☺️👍🏼
@@robfourseven if a company said something to me about not having my seatbelt on in a parking lot while its restricting my ability to back in.....yeah id for sure tell them to shove it....thats beyond ridiculous.
@tutie fired and they lose nothing
16 Degrees? We call that a warm front this time of year around here 🤣🤣 Also, when you can, get yourself a small battery operated leaf blower. That thing works wonders for cleaning out trailers. Easy storage, and just a battery charger..
I SWEAR,IF YOU DON'T TURN OFF THOSE DAMN HAZARDS & TURN SIGNALS IN THE TRUCK STOP.....IT'S ANNOYING "MY GUY" !!!!
What did Detroit do to you 😂 my city is okay just don’t bother people you’ll be fine
He doesn’t want to come to Detroit talking shit about Detroit.🤣🤣🤣
Good morning Alex!!! Thanks for bringing us along. I’m wishing you safe travels. ❤ Newark Jersey ❤
Alex, could you show what some of the truck-stops look like inside? It would be interesting to see what they are like (facilities, food etc).
You wanna see him naked in the shower.
He is just a young kid driving a truck. With no idea what he is doing all these docks are doable with even a bigger truck . ALEX JUST DO YOUR JOB AND FORGET U TUBEING IT HAS NOTHING. TO DO WITH JOB.
@@jeffreycrowther1374 And let me guess, you were born old, mature and a skilled truck driver....let him be.
@@jeffreycrowther1374 Why do I see so many old truckers angry in these comments, what is it with you lot. Lol
Not everything is so serious, chill.
He enjoys making videos, so let him do that. There is no point to life if you are not enjoying it
@@ankush2328 It's jealousy, no doubt.
What GP Tranco Said about Pré Trip Inspection and Post Trip Insp.(Enroute ) Only takes about 30 mins to complete to ensure that the vehicle is safe and there's no problems pops up of any kind, also taking a photo of the condition of your vehicle, so if someone hits your truck and sees the
documentation . You have proof of it
that" Your not at fault". for the damage that was done.
The frames have not been good recently just letting you know 😃 love the new videos tho!
i’m loving the longer videos!! keep ‘em coming my guy! safe travels !
Thank You Alex...for making this a longer than your usual videos. I wait for them and the shorter 17 mins or into 20 min ones go by so fast...too fast! My friend.
You should've shown us the part when the broom broke would've been very entertaining to see a brand new one break after 1st use
16 degrees, but look how clear the road is. 👍
I work in Detroit, a bit of a stretch saying Detroit is America’s most violent city. I’m guessing you’ve never heard of Chicago…
Nice
Chicago isn’t the most violent city either so you’re both wrong.
I think Memphis would like a say In this.
Cant have shit in detroit
St Louis got it
Really enjoy your content. You do a good job and it's fun to follow you on your journeys. With that being said, I live 30 miles south of Detroit and have lived my life going in and out of the city. On top of that my wife and I have traveled our whole lives and have seen many big cities. I have felt much more uncomfortable in places like Seattle, Portland and Chicago than I have ever felt in Detroit. Detroit is not all slums and there are many beautiful areas with incredible old homes. The downtown area is nice and they have four major sports teams in the city proper. As far as the auto industry there are still many auto factories, thriving in and around the city. I think you were only seeing a small part of the city and although Detroit has seen some trying times in the past it is no different today than many other big cities in America and other countries, and is not near as violent as places like Chicago, Baltimore and San Francisco. Thank you again for your channel, I just thought I'd give a little different perspective from someone in the area.
Awesomesauce video, Alex!
I highly recommend a small battery leaf blower! Clean out that trailer quickly. 😊
something feels wrong with your frame rate and quality of the videos Alex, once have a look if there is anything wrong with your camera
I agree
I’ve noticed that too.
That town you stopped at in Minnesota was the town where I went to college! So cool seeing you drive through it!
Omg Alex be safe it was so dark for you to be wondering around it not safe these days to do that but thank you for the video love seeing what out there and we’re you go next but stay safe and try to stay warm
Alex, I'm pretty sure I could drive a big semi if you would go along to do the backing up part.
When You realize the effort is made to produce rice, it's quite understandable why they are so picky.
It's the same over here in Europe, when it comes to transporting food and perishables.
Btw...I always enjoy Your video's. It's nice to see a trucker with attention for quality and safety.
I learned from watching the movie Fearless, Jet Lee
7:19 I put my broom in the back where you usually place your load lock bars.
Quality and Walmart in the same words, never heard before!!!
Aye aye aye. You are fun to watch.
Totally love your videos.
Thank you for showing your Job and the US. Nice greetings from Europe.
Alex instead of a broom you should get a battery leaf blower, not so hard to store it and I think it works better! Some better ones come with a hard plastic storage case like a suitcase. No matter what please stay safe and keep well!!!
My initial thought was you will be safe! Watching you be extra cautious by sleeping in a safe area.
Next thing I know you are out walking around an unknown neighborhood in the middle of the night with a camera strapped to your head in detroit😂😂😂
😂
the frames and quality haven’t been good lately alex but i rlly lover your videos ❤❤❤❤
Yeah
despite us loving the videos, something needs to be done about the framerate… for me it’s unwatchable in current state
watch on 2x speed
@@warmandscratchy well that’s gonna make the speech less intelligible
@@warmandscratchy 1.25x is better
Alex you are making this job a whole lot harder than what it is pull up and then back into the dock
Right he stays overthinking it when it’s a easy back and I’m not tryna brag but i can put a trailer anywhere the receiver need it
He should buy a drone for spying the locations out
@@edehcsne good way to cause a lot of trouble especially with the way things are nowa days
Does this video seem choppy/low fps to anyone else? Love the videos though man!
Yes! It’s really bad!
You are lucky to be alive! Be careful my guy!
He's an expert in mixed martial arts. Specializing in ju jitzu.... watch the movie an officer and a gentleman.
Alex, your on ramp take I think isn’t the best one. You nor the person passing you have no obligation under law to accommodate for someone getting on the free way as you have the right away.
This😊
Keep safe Alex and keep up the content.
You are just so cute when you get plum pissed and I just love it ,cause it makes me giggle every time.
Not even close to being the most violent city. Lol. Come to baton rouge. Anyways keep up the good work. I like watching your videos. Hopefully if everything goes as planned I will be on the road soon.
That Walmart looks like the one in Benton Harbour Michigan! I haul reefer loads from Winnipeg to various places in the Midwest. Afterwards I drive empty back to Canada via Port Huron. Next time you should overnight it at a Kwik Trip! They have decent food especially baked goodies.
Just heads up your video quality is kinda laggy a bit it’s only been a few videos now
I know!
Walmart has a 30 dollar electric leaf blower. It’s amazing for the trailer. It’s in garden section. Runs off drill battery.
Instead of a broom, buy a leaf blower. Trust me. It's the best gift I ever received. The first truck driver who thought of using a leaf blower to clean out a trailer deserves hero status. 😁
Was thinking the same thing.
It was me I been using a leaf blower every since I been trucking and I have 20 plus yrs in trucking
Leaf blower guy. Been using one for a decade lol
Yo, Alex! Loved this video. You're quite good at posting new content frequently. Keep up the good work, my guy! I'm thinking of starting a new game whenever I watch your videos. Everytime you say "my guy" I'm gonna take a shot! LOL! Maybe I'll only do that when I view your content on the weekends! LOL Safe travels!!!
Alex, you should stop at a home depot and buy a really good quality broom.
Alex I think something is wrong with your FPS, this and your last videos are very choppy like you're shooting in a lower FPS.
Yes, I’ve noticed this.
Water in your trailer air tanks.
You're supposed to empty your air tanks every day to get the water and oil out
My city isn't that bad, just mind your own business. You should be just fine. Don't get out that truck and wonder around, doe.
😲😂
Right. I work in construction and do Uber eats drives on the weekends, during the night. Like you said, mind your business and don’t pump gas at night. Detroit is straight.
@Alex Munoz Luna Gas is definitely a NO NO
Notice he got some bass , in his voice when he got to Detroit. But he was definitely in to hood .
Right, he didn’t even need to say all that in the title smh
Really Alex most dangerous city, do you want to CORRECT THAT!
You are amazing at your Job & driving your truck. There is no way I could ever drive an 18 Wheeler without crashing into Everything. 😅
It's a good idea to sweep the trailer or a washout a Temperature Control Unit before next load, So there won't be any contamination , if your transporting items on board especially food. Dirt , dust and debris is considered a contaminant.
You would have to remember in Section 9 Hazardous Materials : Keeping items away from HM if food were to be transported.
And I have allso have subscribed to your channel and I am watching from new Zealand 🇳🇿
I’m from Minnesota, welcome to the cold weather. I’ll be back in Minnesota tomorrow morning, I’m delivering to Target in Fridley, MN
I in enjoy watching your videos they make me happy all the time and your videos are fantastic and keep up the good work
Just saw a GP Transco truck going down the interstate in Illinois. Made me wonder if it was you! Great videos!
Bro, you were lied to. there’s nothing illegal about making an u turn in a semi
Just got to that part. I know for a fact he will be terminated by GP if he makes one, it’s a company policy, not illegal
@@Nickearl1 GP has a no U turn policy? I started my career with Stevens and they would fire you on the spot if you made an U turn. That’s the only company I ever drove for with such policy. At Walmart we can make all the U turns we want
@@FredyLagos US Xpress also has one, as does KLLM, I know a few people who worked at GP.
When my husband mustered out after WWII, he got a job as a trucker just by saying he knew how to do that. Right! He told me that he would miss a gear on rt. 1 in California and ascend in grandma gear. Then, he arrived at his destination and had to back down a narrow alley, something he had not previously done. So, being a fast thinker, he saw other truckers and, therefore, he jumped out of the cab and announced that he really had to use the restroom and would one of these fellows back this up for him. Then, he peeked out a window until the truck was backed into position. When he arrived home, he then practiced until he could then do backing.
Some times you gotta fake it till you make it! Sounds like your husband wasn't afraid to try anything 😊
I’m happy it’s nice and warm for you!! 😂😂
By a simple google search you'd find Detroit is not the "most violent city." It's not Disney Land though. LOL Enjoy your channel and your safe and wise driving.
It’s called click bait and it worked on you lol. But it has held the title before! It’s like when you win the world’s strongest man one time, you will always get to be called the worlds strongest man! Works for Shithole city’s that don’t improve! lol
Wait till he goes to Wichita Ks . He probably thinks it’s the all American town.Or Okc 🤣🤣🤣
Them are almost manitory automatic weapons cities. Shame that is in USA now. I do worry about Alex. Ok city A lot lizard grab him will not turn him a loose. Bigger City the worst the crime.
@@miltonmoore1690hat both aren't even bad wtf 😂 been to both plenty of times I like going through okc other than all the damn construction never ends
@@Brianpeckin
I am WV guy I come prepared for it. Shooting guns by the age of 6 years old hunting for evening supper. 1 Dad's friends moved back like 20 years ago. Poor guy died a few years back. I was talking to him. He told me he retired at Ford making like 60 or 70 $ a hour plus a had a huge bunch of Ford stock. He show me his retirement checks just from the stock investment alone. I was amazed. Guy you could tell had the money. Yearly a brand-new special ordered Lincoln. He had like over 35/ 40 + years in Ford too union & company. Very nice guy. Bunch WV guys went Detroit because at that time Coal Mines wasn't doing too well. My Dad just about went he told me.
I think the GoPro's frames per second changed from 60 to 30. or your export settings. makes it hard to watch
It seems more like 1 lol.
Alex, 14:05 I had a dock #1 on my first week working for IIK Transport inc as a truck driver…
Thanks to one guy named Zipi I was able to dock.
Delivery to Chicago and someone hit my trailer the same week))
Crazy company
Go to St Louis
I love your videos thank you
Watching you from Kenya🇰🇪 . Guy you are leaving my dream!!
it was 75 degreese when i live the other day. Then the next day yas 40 degreese.
You walked the streets in Detroit...in the dark? Did you have a gun? Or a bazooka? Or do you possess the magic skills level of some sort of 23rd degree vulcan?! Good job!
Why don't trucks have load sensors on the suspension of the truck and trailer? Then you would never need to use a scale again. The technology exists.
Part of Wisconsin you went thru is in the Driftless Zone, a gorgeous part of the State. Untouched by glaciers. If you go further west by the Mississippi, its even more hilly.
How do you manage to get so fucked up when you go to a shipper? Put the broom handle on the cat walk
you smash that brake pedal way too hard while stopped when trying to back up lol just relax a little......and quit worrying so much about somebody backing into you....if it happens then its not your fault...
Detroit is safe place
Delivering in Detroit is not what y’all try to make it seem. I remember I was in training and my soft ass trainer was complaining about Detroit.
I could listen and watch him all day...
Electric leaf blower works nicer to clean the floor in a dry van then a broom.
Hey Alex don’t turn off your truck in anything below 30 your fuel will gel up
1202 gels at 15° my truck will not override the auto shutoff unless it's 20° outside
The broom is made in…….a
😂 😂😂😂
Love the vids bro, but this and the previous vids seemed a bit laggy, the framerate was kinda strange in comparison to the previous one :/
We didn’t hear about your opinion about this company and the pay rate and home time ?!
Walking around Detroit at night😮, brave man!
He's a mixed martial arts expert specializing in ju jitzu....he can definitely handle himself.
Is it just me, or is the fps really low in the past couple of videos?
You gotta figure out a way to edit out the turn signal clicks!
Pov Alex sees another truck on the road:”ahhh!! What is this guy doing, go my guy go.”
Hi Alex, you are awesome always watching you from Ghana 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 West Africa
Alex, Anytime when your transporting food, your trailer has to be clean an free from contaminants.
And the same with frozen food transported by refrigerated trailer(s)
They have to be swept out before loading,
Products your transporting can cause contamination.
Try a good heavy duty quality lawn blower to clean your box trailer. You get what you pay for. Try get by cheap it always cost you more.
We are really curious to see check stubs brother. That would be awesome!
Why?
300 open spots park next to the one truck lol
I really enjoy your channel man. Makes me want to give up my IT job and drive a truck.
Come to WV next few weeks for our yearly Ramps & Molly Moocher festival's. You not making any good cooking videos lately? We will fatten you up. Ramps, beans & cornbread be a ?. Molly Moochers you would permanently move to WV for a lifetime. Molly Moocher is a wild mushroom that only come up like 6 weeks in spring per year. Morrell Mushrooms is I think the proper name.
I’ve parked in MANY sketchy areas over the years…and other then a few lizards crawling on my door at night, I’ve had no issues. Just lock your doors and secure them with the seatbelt, and try to park next to another driver if possible.
Great video! You definitely have backing up skills
As usual, another great video. Thank you.
Happy Friday Alex;)
A little ryobi leaf blower will be much faster for trailer cleanout. Also when you were surprised about truckstop parking, most will be empty when it's raining and wet but fill up instantly when ice hits..reason being that they are getting as many miles in as possible before it ices up.
Did you change your cam recently?
Is the frame rate bad for you too?
@@evancline24 yes it is. And it seems to be only on the recent videos.
That unit has a thermostat
Was designed to maintain constant temperature
Cuts in for x min
Then Cuts out for y
min. In cycles
Detroit isn't nearly as bad as Houston or Chicago
Big brain Alex
no way i watch bald and bankrupt guy too , awesome video as per alex ;) watching from Scotland
Yes ! They are Temperature Control Units - Refrigerated Units
