They sure are all new generation.that guy has alot of great history.he said a mouth full.when they took that 3 peddle and shifter out that's a steering wheel holder.curtesty and respect is the key factors on the road.
I am a 31 yrs on the road and only state missing is navada.i have seen stupid accidents and accidents that were unavoidable.i have seen 5 fatalities and worked one as well.i been company driver and then went o/o for 11 yrs and retired which I made my goal of 135,000.00 on electric logs.i made percentage and went by brokerage Today the way things are I will not get back in the truck at all.i have seen alot.i never had any tickets,no fines by dot,clean csa and a pitch clean cdl a,m.i love what I did and do miss it.but today with all them young super trucker steering wheel holders and not using theater big picture,common sense and judgement they will have problems.
He is 100% correct. I’ve been hauling oversized loads since 1981. Drivers would give me space to pass or would give space when they passed. NOT anymore very small percentage of drivers give that little bit of safe space. No more flashing lights for a thank you are even a flash of lights to let you know you passed and safe to pull over. And those idiots in truck fast lane. YOU are causing problems on the road and giving professional and respectful drivers a bad name. Love your show. Let’s all do better.
It's not just trucking. it's our world today no matter what industry you are in. No one has courtesy, no one takes pride in anything they do, no one wants to work or strive for better, everywhere you go people are unprofessional. It's sad and frustrating. But those of us trying to be better and do better need to stay strong and never give up.
Its because our country is a revolving door for foreigners with no interest in establishing themselves here... they are here to funnel money back home until they either get into legal trouble or their green card expires, then they leave and try it again nexr year. I was waiting for a stall in the mens room the other day and some somalian walks out of one talkin that click-clack on his obnoxiously loud headset, lets the door slam in my face walking out without even washing his hands. I enter the stall, he didnt even flush it, and not only that, he took A FULL STACK of those toilet seat cover tissues and mummy wrapped half of them around one side of the toilet seat and half around the other and just left them there. Its especially bad in the northeast where they are trying to race you to a parking spot, never wait for you to back, try to cut around you when you are waiting for others, etc. I had one of those sikh guys fly in at like 40mph as I was carefully pulling out of my spot a few days ago... i was gonna turn left to leave and he pulled up 2ft from trailer and just stopped, refusing to back up, staring me down like he wanted some until i got out the truck with my hammer and realized i wasnt afraid to oblige him. There is no unity here, and there wont be until we stop allowing this behavior everywhere. It isnt all foreigners either. Some of this is homegrown, some of it is generational. I've seen it from gen z brats as well as Billy big riggin super truckers w/their long-nosed petes. I dont care who you are, and I'm at a point now where if you cause a problem for me or anyone else I'm gonna cause a problem for you, and it will be 10x worse 😅
Low rates, longer hours than any other career (PARTICULARLY as an owner/op that does any kind of flat bed hauling), lots of responsibility, little respect from outsiders. Yeah, you're absolutely right.
I'm old school too...started trucking with a license in mid 80's but drove long before that. This 'hand' spoke the truth and should be on your channel as a weekly 1 hour guest Alex! God bless you Mr. Vargas.
that "steering wheel holders " shit is old, it's no one's fault that these companies are going automatics, i don't have a restriction on my license but everything they put me in is an automatic
Some of these guys just deep down believe truck driving is the only industry that should be free from modernization. Kodiak is going to show them otherwise.
It’s not just about the automatic transmission, it’s the whole Attitude of a lot of newer drivers….most of them won’t even know how to fix a light that doesn’t work……old timers used to change tires on the side of the road..etc…
@@karlsborgwi.jewell9919again, that goes back to the changing of this industry. Pick any company you want...if that driver is caught changing lights, tires, brakes, adjusting leverage throw to fixing a mirror? He can call Uber for a ride home. These trucks are on a "fixed sale/buy-back/resale" program. They don't question what a driver knows. They serve up the program and every driver will fit that program or be replaced before dark.
He’s right man I see a lot of these people who just park anywhere they don’t have the skills to do this job and when you try to help them they just look at you like your not there I have been trucking for 24 years now and it’s sad that we don’t talk like we used to on the CB
The newer generation "seems like people born in the 2000s" have ZERO respect/courtesy. All they care about is themselves, I see it everyday. It's beyond frustrating
@sp4604 I’m not fond of the flip floppers dragging their asses around looking like Joe shit the Rag Man ether. I’ve been Driving since the end of August 1988. The Best Seni Tractor that I’ve Owned and Driven is the VOLVO. Its Cab is built using High Strength Steel. The Volvo Diesel is like a Cat that’s painted Blue and a Hell Of A Lot More Refined. The Drivers who have most of the Problems with with their Volvos think they know more than the Engineers at Volvo and Finger F**k their Trucks then Whine and Bitch when their Volvo has to go into the Shop. I drive a 2011 VNL 780; it has NEVER Failed me. I’m getting a Consistent 8 MPG and the D13 Engine doesn’t use oil with a little over 1.3 Million Miles on the Odometer. What do you drive, a Kenworthless?
@@Red_Meijin truck drivers are a unique crowd who believe that specific industry is suppose to be completely free of modernization. They fail to see the realm of reality that every single thing trucking related or not becomes more and more automated as time goes on. I’ve heard super truckers before talk about how drivers needs to use an atlas not a truck GPS. Imagine pulling over on the side of the road to look at an atlas while watching a Tesla on auto pilot pass you while the passengers are on iPads and Apple Watches. Teachers don’t use chalk boards anymore.
I been driving for 9 years, I can drive a 9, 10, 13, and 18 speed, but now im in an automatic with all this lane departure, collusion warning, distance keeping cruise control and im not used to it. To me all this safety crap is more of a distraction. I never had that problem im a 1997 KW W900L with no sensors and a 13 speed. You made yourself focus and be aware, disnt have to depend on beeping sensors for everything. Im still not used to the automatic!
@@davidhicks2178get used to it or leave the industry. The future isn’t waiting for your approval. Truck driving wasn’t the sole industry exempt from modernization. Everything, every single where… trucking related and non trucking related becomes more and more automated and technological everyday. It’s just how the future works. Truck driving wasn’t something that was going to be the only thing to always operate like “the good ol days”. Teachers don’t use chalk boards anymore.
I have been retired a year last Thursday. I started way before the CDL was even thought about. If you were broke down there would be 4 or 5 trucks on the side trying to help get you going. Now if you are broke down you need to get out your passenger door if you dont want to get run over because very few get over for you. There was none of this tearing of hoods and front bumpers off in the truck stops. None of this blocking the fuel pumps for whatever reason. Go in a truck stops with 8 or 10 pumps and they are all full with nobody pumping fuel. No respect for anybody. Hoorah for me and screw you seems to be the attitude. The real truckers are starting to disappear and these new ones are like he said steering wheel holders.
I feel targeted 😂I been out here over a year and I run 62 but always stay in my lane. But his logic is like saying you are not a pilot because you don't fly old and outdated planes. (In secret I would prefer a manual they look cooler) but I haul freight and do the same job as him with my jelly bean and don't care😅. It is a work machine nothing more to me. Lastly as far as I can tell it is super truckers always hauling ass and testing the laws of physics who wreck 🙄 so I'll be in my lane cruising and be whatever you old heads want to call me 👌☕️
@sebastiankim180 agreed, however I want the old school shit but not at this point in my career. In 20 years I'll be bitching about these new drivers too 😅
Cool facts man, cool facts. There ain't a truck or trucker out here that is cool enough to own this road. We all work it. Be safe and clear skies ahead.
Truckers need to shut up and listen. He is telling the truth period. It's not about your soft feelings. I myself cannot believe the rudeness and the recklessness that I see on the road with people driving these trucks. Been an owner-operator about 15 years And many of the old schoolers on their own just pull me up and teach me something or show me something that I was doing wrong. No other industry really would do that from their heart. Despite the fact we all have been drivingIs 11 hours. Don't matter the race or anything else they look out. I never seen that nowhere else.
No he's not. Most company trucks are governed. So when you start a legal passing maneuver, RESPECT would be for the OG truckers not to run up governed trucks at the speed of light. How does he expect people to get back over when the OGs be the main ones tailgating and won't let you move over. Tf???
Damn wish I was born some years earlier, I'm 23 been driving almost 3 years now and it sucks that I love being in the industry but everything I hear is how things where so much better years back. I do what I can, I run my cb but theres barely anyone with properly tuned stuff, I flash my courtesy lights when someone lets me pass or letting them know they are clear to hop over, and I drop it down or fall back when I ain't gonna pass someone super quick when there's cars behind us. Just know old timers there's still some of us young ones out here who try to keep the spirit don't be upset at all of us.
Preach brother ! 40 years running up and down these roads and across this country seems like not 30 mins go bye that your not shaking your head about something stupid someone is doing
'74 here! 1:22 and we ALL had the CB and we all had a HANDLE, and we ALL used them. All day & all night. Then come the 80s with everybody listening to those repeating talk shows from coast to coast and the 2 way started to take a back seat to all this new knowledge on the airwaves....we start introspecting slowly but surely, and thinking it's progress Art Bell, Rush, Gordon Liddy, Paul Harvey, endless... At least some folks are keep big radios going but not the whole lane. All strangers nowadays it seems Cheers! ------ Thank yuh' kindley, Dutchboy out. 😉
The difference between new drivers and old drivers is new drivers do it for the money and look at it as a short term job for future goals and old drivers do it because they actually enjoy the job/life style of it.
Do it for the money? Then why did y’all drive the prices down when 300,000 new CDL holders came in 2021? Rates were 4-5 dollars a mile and y’all came in and now the rates are 1.80-2.50 dollars a mile. You think getting a 2000 dollar check is money as an owner operator? Boy are you lost. It’s the new owner operators who came in and ruined everything. Especially the foreign ones who just started.
Yea, I been sitting in my motorhome a month at the Casinos in Biloxi. Won and lost both. Guess I will go back and go trucking I am bored!! Benn out here since 1977.
I remember UPS being called buster brown. I’m from the old school of drivers with no electronics and our GPS was the trucker atlas and the cell phone was a road side phone booth. I agree with the automatics and steering wheel huggers, trucking isn’t the same, we had each other’s back anytime you were broke down and be surprised how many drivers on the CB asking if your ok. Same goes for traffic warning others of accidents or problems up ahead. I’m glad I got out 11 years ago.
Thats right, calling out the county mounties and letting the other drivers know where they are located, But I grew up with Smokey and the Bandit, Breaker, Breaker and Convoy. MAGA Truckers keep our country rolling.
Truckers keep this country rolling and anyone who is a TRUE American with morals and values would never support such scum, keep your politics to yourself
Yeah don't you hate those arrogant assholes that act like that? I've got news for them, they're no different than me and everybody else, we all put our pants on the same and we all shit through an asshole.
The reason so many governed drivers hang out in the middle lane is because those same oldschool drivers will pass em at a snail's pace while they're trapped in the right as someone merges in at 30mph, laughing at the steering wheel holder who they forced to hard brake. If someone is forced to pass on the right they floor it.
“Doing 62 in the middle lane” is a product of the ‘Smith System’ that’s part of the training program at the mega-carrier fleets. Leaving yourself an out is not that simple. I’m at a company that does 70, and I’m being blown off the road because these companies from Chicago, LA, and such are doing 75. As for the CB, when Mr “Highways and Byways, watch out for those screwballs and window lickers on their spider boxes” starts up, I turn my CB off. I don’t need to hear insults when I’m driving.
It's splatter boxes, not spider boxes. That's Hard Drive and all you have to do is turn your squelch and RF gain up enough that you don't pick him up but you can hear those close to you. He's in NM and has a 10,000 watt amp hooked to a base unit and apparently out in the desert as he says all the time. I wish he would go back to whatever bench he's always saying he's going back to and stay there.
I agree. I had a CB and now I never use it because Everytime I turned it on guys were trying to start fights or insult someone and couldn't understand half of what they said with those 'trucker' accents. You know that ole country twang they all use to act like they're one of the cool guys out there.
Here is a helpful tip for new drivers: don’t be intimidated by crotchety old school drivers. They may seem crabby from doing the job for long periods but some of them are actually willing to provide genuine help (and not bitch on a lame RUclips forum).
Im a new driver and i could care less about any opinions as long as im driving safe and making a living for my family . I'll leave the trying to impress other men to you old school truckers and new school wanna be super truckers.
I think what he wants to say is that the new generation of drivers don’t have any ambition to learn or grow in this industry. No ambition to become what an actual professional driver should be. They don’t even care to understand what a professional driver actually is. They think it’s some sort of opinion. The new generation of drivers on the road think they’re better than the next guy. They think because they’ve been driving for a few months or a few years that they already know it all. They turn deaf when you try to teach them something. Unwilling to learn. This is where most people with actual experience and knowledge get frustrated and I think that they don’t know how to explain it or express it properly. There’s more to it. It goes deeper than that. It would just be too much to write down. New drivers need to have ambition to learn and become as much of a professional as possible. Not just “good enough”. There is no such thing as good enough. Anyone can drive a truck in a straight line and most can back a trailer. There’s way more to this industry than just that and you need to have ambition to learn it all.
OG telling the truth I tell people this is a lifestyle and to many of the new drivers in this industry are a product of the times we're living in microwave want it instant,and the 1st thing they do is show they paycheck on social media.
Lifestyle? 😂😂😂 Living in your automobile? Showering in public showers? Missing out on your family? Eating no home cooked meals on a regular basis? Using public restrooms? Having sex with prostitutes? Some life…
I agree with the man on a lot. It frustrated me when I was a rookie driver how the industry was. My paw paw told me of his days on the road. To my disappointment, it pales in comparison to what he talked about. I just try to be the best I can be. As far as driving an automated? I see no shame in it. If that's what you prefer, piss on what others think. I see manual drivers who should just park and walk home. Transmission don't make the driver. Be professional. Look out for your fellow driver and the public. You're doing fine. That's my book. All this other stuff? Hell with it. I'm out here to make money, not friends. I'll look out for you, though.
You aren’t starving one of the most economical and important cities in the world. Most of our money comes and goes thru there and if you start messing with that, it’ll come down on truckers hard.
THE NEW AND SOME OLD DRIVERS NEED TO SET A BETTER EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS/STOP THROWING YOUR TRASH OUT OUT THE REAR OF YOUR TRAILERS /USE THE TRASH CANS AT TRUCK STOPS
I agree totally with this gentleman. I am ashamed of what our industry has become. The people from Europe and the middle east have absolutely zero respect for trucking or our laws and our regulations. Most don't even speak English. So sad to see. BTW, my husband has over 4 million miles coast to coast. Not one ticket or accident.
I have to say i do agree with you. Even tho I was born in Europe I drive in the USA. I'm old school and i agree that allot of theese Europeans don't hamd respect. They shame other European truckers like myself here in the USA. They don't speak english even Punjabi drivers as well and Russians have near to zero repsect.
I understand a lot of new drivers fall under what this guy is saying. But not all of us. I’ve been driving a year and I’m one that first I learned on a manual truck and drive one for a few months until not by choice was given an automatic and am governed at 67. I actually have respect for the other drivers on the road and move stay in the right lane until im passing. Until I get screwed by the cars that then pass me on the right and won’t let me back over by over taking me because I wanna give room to the person I’m passing before I get back over. and also other truckers. I get disrespected by a lot of old school drivers. So it’s not just the new people. So I’m here to say it’s not everyone but it is everyone.
8 years driving, but I have been in a truck since I was 16 on the farm.. third generation, and my dad taught me simple respect and common courtesy. Their is barely another driver who is willing to help, make a convo, or let you know what's going on up ahead.
That’s the truth, old school for real. I got taught by a old school trucker 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍👍 I use to always be on the house CB radio at home when I was a kid talking to truckers every night, back when parents use to invite truckers for dinner sleepovers cause there wasn’t always a place to sleep… rock on old school 🤘🤘🤘🤘… hope you don’t mind I put you on my description for most of my videos 👍
I agree with this man 100%. The problem is half of them do not understand or speak the english language. They ONLY understand flashing signs sometimes.
16 years 48 state longhauling back in the 80s & 90s before wireless phones and CBs were necessary. Drivers were courteous or got called out. I don't know how real drivers can stand todays crap, The job it self is tough enough..
That international been in the game a very long time I use to always see it at the service areas off the jersey turnpike I haven’t seen it in over 10 years it’s awesome to see it on the channel.
The profession has changed. Every single person on the on ramp. Is looking at their phone and not looking to merge. He wants everyone else to give way to him. But doesnt have any patience himself. 😂 Its ok. Many of us been around just as long as him. But dont get an ego with experience. There is no law that you have to drive a certain way for anyone. Some times you have to be aware that bad traffic has too many idiots. Which includes this guy. I dont have to do anything for idiots. That middle lane in highly trafficked areas is to relieve on ramp traffic. He knows and wants the lane to himself. He is an idiot. Because I can see through his bs selfishness. Also. Too many immigrants. Like him clogging up the roads and beating them up. None of the roads are being repaired. I dont have premium comfortable suspension in my truck. But my spine has to give way to his ego. He needs to sell his truck and stop crying. Life isnt fun, unless its a challenge. And yes, I started out driving stick. There are two mechanical differences between the two. One you can shift your entire life and eventually bloe out a knee. Luckily I didnt. Or two, You drive a less reliable automatic. Manual has more options than an automatic. If something happens to air lines. You can increase rpms. Which forces the air compressor to pump out max as it spins the belt at the higher rpm. Giving you time to deal with the leak. You cant do that with an automatic. Because transmission requires air. You cant control rpms in an automatic. It wont let you. Tell him to retire. If he cant handle more trucks on the road. That he deems in his way.
This dude labels new drivers as “steering wheel holders,” a veiled insult, yet advocates for mutual respect; that's not how that works. This is what we call hypocrisy. How are you going to earn someone's respect when you insult them? How can new drivers respect experienced drivers when they're generally treated as incompetent (To be fair, I'm sure there are drivers who drive like turds)? We all had to start somewhere. That being said, respect is earned, not given.
These new steering wheel holders drive trucks like they drive their cars , tailgating , move over to exit the fwy. at the last minute, running the hammer lane indefinitely and just down right rude .
The reality is dinosaurs treat everyone like trash and then whine about respect, completely delusional, and they all act like they started trucking perfectly, they forgot they were once the new guy too lol geezers just need to keep their ignorance to themselves, if they have nothing positive and informative and uplifting to say they need to zip it!!!!
Yea we all started somewhere. And we started at the bottom and worked our way up. For me, doing local farm work. Milk, wood shavings, hay. Etc. Now a new driver gets his license( honestly or not, the Connecticut scandal), and is thrown into a truck running 48 states. 3 gps' suctioned to the windshield, 2 phones at the ready, 1 if they cant read our language to translate those signs that are written in English and another to hold in a drivers face showing their question in English so they can get a translated answer when I answer to their phone. Not to mention team operations. 2, 3, and 4 drivers in a truck. Yes I've seen it. Along with entire families in trucks. Not giving the kids a ride when schools out, but living in the truck. Seen it. The new pros. And the poor suckers who fell for the lease purchase sales pitch? Sorry for the rant. Over and out.
I love this Mutha Trucker Guy.I can't Drive anymore but I ran for 30 Years.I got some very bad Health News after My Mri.As long as I have a breath in my body I'll watch.They never give you the Lights when you pass no there's no Professionals anymore he's right.Dont expect to start at the Top you'll have to earn it like we did.Keep your Ducks in a row or you could work all week for free after the fines you'll get.Never leave it on the fuel island.Pay park and go in for a shower or whatever.Hes right Truck Driving is a 24 Hour a Day 7 days a week 365 days a year Job.If you don't have anything to do the guy waiting behind you does get out of the way so he can continue
It takes more to drive a truck than a steering wheel. Just because you drive a stick shift doesn't mean you're God's gift of Truck Drivers. And that's part of the reason why drivers don't get along. They name call, film people who struggle, tailgate, and cry like babies on the CB.
Understand this, Most old school truckers had a passion for trucking . It was all about putting the miles down in style and the industry thrived on professionalism. Trucking was an art. Now a days most drivers couldn't care less about the industry. Manual vs automatic, Pete vs Freighliner, boots vs flip flops, none of that matters.It's all about running up a bag by any means necessary and on to the next. Entitlement from old school and new gen drivers is one the many reasons why trucking doomed.
I own one of those new trucks I also have 49 yr,s over the road 1975 - 2024 I do not consider my self a steering wheel holder but will compete with anyone have 6,000,000 mile,s to help give a new driver advice on how to present themselves right dress code , right equip ,right attitude and you can do it with or without a gear shift in middle of the floor been there done that .
been driving since 78. he speaks the truth. the people today think they know more than the old timers and some of them can't drive a single stick, so sad. as for the cb he right, people don't have them or use them. one reason for more wrecks during bad weather. I wonder how many could drive and live in the truck we drove back then. my first truck was a 68 international 4000 cabover 238 Detroit with 10 speed, no air ride seat, no ps.no air,vaccum window wipers. not much insulation, cold in winter and hot during the summer and a single sleeper.
I love this guy he is saying what a lot of older drivers are thinking I agree with him there is almost no respect between old drivers and new drivers anymore great show brother ❤I listen all the time god bless you ❤
He’s right my dad started driving in 1973 @ 18 and is still driving today, he taught me the old school ways. No Flip flops, indicate with headlights when a driver can safely move over, give thanks with hazards AND STAY IN LEFT LANE EXCEPT TO PASS no matter how many lanes
It’s sad old school drivers where on cocaine and meth and try to talk down on the new ones. New guys they learned most bad habits from the old entailed fools😂
He's not wrong. These drivers aren't professionals anymore. I just started a local job and none of the trailers had current inspections, most had flat tires and my tractor didn't have any paperwork at all in it. Guys had been driving them around without checking a damn thing. Nothing but steering wheel holders. It's really sad. There is no pride anymore.
Disclaimer* Orange Truck Is Not The Same Person Being Interviewed*
Do you agree or disagree? Is every new truck driver a steering wheel holder?
FULLY AGREE AND THEN SOME ..........🚛⛟🚚🚐🚚⛟🚛⛟🚚🚐🚚⛟🚛🚛⛟
They sure are all new generation.that guy has alot of great history.he said a mouth full.when they took that 3 peddle and shifter out that's a steering wheel holder.curtesty and respect is the key factors on the road.
Until you've been to all lower 48, a million miles, or driven a half dozen winters north of 70 you're a steering wheel holder.
I am a 31 yrs on the road and only state missing is navada.i have seen stupid accidents and accidents that were unavoidable.i have seen 5 fatalities and worked one as well.i been company driver and then went o/o for 11 yrs and retired which I made my goal of 135,000.00 on electric logs.i made percentage and went by brokerage
Today the way things are I will not get back in the truck at all.i have seen alot.i never had any tickets,no fines by dot,clean csa and a pitch clean cdl a,m.i love what I did and do miss it.but today with all them young super trucker steering wheel holders and not using theater big picture,common sense and judgement they will have problems.
He is 100% correct. I’ve been hauling oversized loads since 1981. Drivers would give me space to pass or would give space when they passed. NOT anymore very small percentage of drivers give that little bit of safe space. No more flashing lights for a thank you are even a flash of lights to let you know you passed and safe to pull over. And those idiots in truck fast lane. YOU are causing problems on the road and giving professional and respectful drivers a bad name.
Love your show. Let’s all do better.
It's not just drivers dude. It's culture in general. Men aren't men anymore.
True bunch of (!)(/)(|)
Some people ESPECIALLY hate me because of this very fact! #BeAMan
Generation of today don't know if they are man, woman, cat, or a dog. The looney toon Generation is what I'm calling them
They learned from the people that came before them. Sounds like the elders should’ve been a better example
Spot on!!
He is absolutely right!!!
It's not just trucking. it's our world today no matter what industry you are in. No one has courtesy, no one takes pride in anything they do, no one wants to work or strive for better, everywhere you go people are unprofessional. It's sad and frustrating. But those of us trying to be better and do better need to stay strong and never give up.
You got that right hand
Its because our country is a revolving door for foreigners with no interest in establishing themselves here... they are here to funnel money back home until they either get into legal trouble or their green card expires, then they leave and try it again nexr year.
I was waiting for a stall in the mens room the other day and some somalian walks out of one talkin that click-clack on his obnoxiously loud headset, lets the door slam in my face walking out without even washing his hands. I enter the stall, he didnt even flush it, and not only that, he took A FULL STACK of those toilet seat cover tissues and mummy wrapped half of them around one side of the toilet seat and half around the other and just left them there.
Its especially bad in the northeast where they are trying to race you to a parking spot, never wait for you to back, try to cut around you when you are waiting for others, etc. I had one of those sikh guys fly in at like 40mph as I was carefully pulling out of my spot a few days ago... i was gonna turn left to leave and he pulled up 2ft from trailer and just stopped, refusing to back up, staring me down like he wanted some until i got out the truck with my hammer and realized i wasnt afraid to oblige him.
There is no unity here, and there wont be until we stop allowing this behavior everywhere. It isnt all foreigners either. Some of this is homegrown, some of it is generational. I've seen it from gen z brats as well as Billy big riggin super truckers w/their long-nosed petes. I dont care who you are, and I'm at a point now where if you cause a problem for me or anyone else I'm gonna cause a problem for you, and it will be 10x worse 😅
Trucking is worse than a Chinese sweatshop now
Low rates, longer hours than any other career (PARTICULARLY as an owner/op that does any kind of flat bed hauling), lots of responsibility, little respect from outsiders. Yeah, you're absolutely right.
I'm old school too...started trucking with a license in mid 80's but drove long before that. This 'hand' spoke the truth and should be on your channel as a weekly 1 hour guest Alex! God bless you Mr. Vargas.
I agree with what he says! Longtime Independent truckers are the Patriotic Truckers! 🙏💖🙏
that "steering wheel holders " shit is old, it's no one's fault that these companies are going automatics, i don't have a restriction on my license but everything they put me in is an automatic
Some of these guys just deep down believe truck driving is the only industry that should be free from modernization. Kodiak is going to show them otherwise.
It’s not just about the automatic transmission, it’s the whole Attitude of a lot of newer drivers….most of them won’t even know how to fix a light that doesn’t work……old timers used to change tires on the side of the road..etc…
@@karlsborgwi.jewell9919again, that goes back to the changing of this industry. Pick any company you want...if that driver is caught changing lights, tires, brakes, adjusting leverage throw to fixing a mirror? He can call Uber for a ride home.
These trucks are on a "fixed sale/buy-back/resale" program. They don't question what a driver knows. They serve up the program and every driver will fit that program or be replaced before dark.
@karlsborgwi.jewell9919 you don't know what's not taught. Yall didn't learn these things out of nowhere. Someone told you
He’s right man I see a lot of these people who just park anywhere they don’t have the skills to do this job and when you try to help them they just look at you like your not there I have been trucking for 24 years now and it’s sad that we don’t talk like we used to on the CB
mainly foreiners. africans, arabs, and indians! guaran-fuckn-tee it!

I’ve been Driving since the end of August 1988.
The Best Seni Tractor that I’ve Owned and Driven is the VOLVO. Its Cab is built using High Strength Steel. The Volvo Diesel is like a Cat that’s painted Blue and a Hell Of A Lot More Refined. The Drivers who have most of the Problems with with their Volvos think they know more than the Engineers at Volvo and Finger F**k their Trucks then Whine and Bitch when their Volvo has to go into the Shop.

Alex that gentleman was preaching the truth. It's not the same as it used to be.

I LOVE This Guy... He's RIGHT! They can't even drive a 10-speed & back into the dock but want to be called a Truck Driver?! FOH!
What does driving a 10 speed have to do with it?..
@@Red_Meijin NOTHING. If u get your CDL u have the RIGHT to call yourself a professional driver (truck driver) BY LAW. Period.
@@Red_Meijin truck drivers are a unique crowd who believe that specific industry is suppose to be completely free of modernization. They fail to see the realm of reality that every single thing trucking related or not becomes more and more automated as time goes on. I’ve heard super truckers before talk about how drivers needs to use an atlas not a truck GPS. Imagine pulling over on the side of the road to look at an atlas while watching a Tesla on auto pilot pass you while the passengers are on iPads and Apple Watches. Teachers don’t use chalk boards anymore.
I been driving for 9 years, I can drive a 9, 10, 13, and 18 speed, but now im in an automatic with all this lane departure, collusion warning, distance keeping cruise control and im not used to it. To me all this safety crap is more of a distraction. I never had that problem im a 1997 KW W900L with no sensors and a 13 speed. You made yourself focus and be aware, disnt have to depend on beeping sensors for everything. Im still not used to the automatic!
@@davidhicks2178get used to it or leave the industry. The future isn’t waiting for your approval. Truck driving wasn’t the sole industry exempt from modernization. Everything, every single where… trucking related and non trucking related becomes more and more automated and technological everyday. It’s just how the future works. Truck driving wasn’t something that was going to be the only thing to always operate like “the good ol days”. Teachers don’t use chalk boards anymore.
I have been retired a year last Thursday. I started way before the CDL was even thought about. If you were broke down there would be 4 or 5 trucks on the side trying to help get you going. Now if you are broke down you need to get out your passenger door if you dont want to get run over because very few get over for you. There was none of this tearing of hoods and front bumpers off in the truck stops. None of this blocking the fuel pumps for whatever reason. Go in a truck stops with 8 or 10 pumps and they are all full with nobody pumping fuel. No respect for anybody. Hoorah for me and screw you seems to be the attitude. The real truckers are starting to disappear and these new ones are like he said steering wheel holders.
I jokingly call them Uber drivers with attitude now that they have a CDL lol 😂🥃 congrats on retirement brother
Facts
I feel targeted 😂I been out here over a year and I run 62 but always stay in my lane. But his logic is like saying you are not a pilot because you don't fly old and outdated planes. (In secret I would prefer a manual they look cooler) but I haul freight and do the same job as him with my jelly bean and don't care😅. It is a work machine nothing more to me. Lastly as far as I can tell it is super truckers always hauling ass and testing the laws of physics who wreck 🙄 so I'll be in my lane cruising and be whatever you old heads want to call me 👌☕️
Fact
You said it,,, it’s a work machine to you and nothing more…..
If the truck cost $100k it can shift itself
@sebastiankim180 agreed, however I want the old school shit but not at this point in my career. In 20 years I'll be bitching about these new drivers too 😅
Cool facts man, cool facts.
There ain't a truck or trucker out here that is cool enough to own this road. We all work it.
Be safe and clear skies ahead.
Truckers need to shut up and listen. He is telling the truth period. It's not about your soft feelings. I myself cannot believe the rudeness and the recklessness that I see on the road with people driving these trucks. Been an owner-operator about 15 years And many of the old schoolers on their own just pull me up and teach me something or show me something that I was doing wrong. No other industry really would do that from their heart. Despite the fact we all have been drivingIs 11 hours. Don't matter the race or anything else they look out. I never seen that nowhere else.
I’ve seen a lot of OG truckers not showing respect to the young guys too. Lead by example.
Problem is. These new players don’t know what respect is!!!!
When you earn it you'll get it.
Respect is earned
Facts
You know brother, that young men who show respect receive respect.
He telling the truth….
He is exactly right
why be miserable. i quit and i couldnt be happier
He is absolutely correct the older guys had a clue👍👍👍
No he's not. Most company trucks are governed. So when you start a legal passing maneuver, RESPECT would be for the OG truckers not to run up governed trucks at the speed of light. How does he expect people to get back over when the OGs be the main ones tailgating and won't let you move over. Tf???
He’s right, there’s no more trucker courtesy, he’s right old school was the way 👊🏽👍🏽👏👏🇺🇸
Damn wish I was born some years earlier, I'm 23 been driving almost 3 years now and it sucks that I love being in the industry but everything I hear is how things where so much better years back. I do what I can, I run my cb but theres barely anyone with properly tuned stuff, I flash my courtesy lights when someone lets me pass or letting them know they are clear to hop over, and I drop it down or fall back when I ain't gonna pass someone super quick when there's cars behind us. Just know old timers there's still some of us young ones out here who try to keep the spirit don't be upset at all of us.
Man just get your money and get out. Don’t listen to people who can’t manage their money… they’re just bitter…
He speaks the truth
I agree with him. I’m 24 years in trucking.
Preach brother ! 40 years running up and down these roads and across this country seems like not 30 mins go bye that your not shaking your head about something stupid someone is doing
Instead of shaking your head...help. .assuming that you actually care. If a person doesn't know they don't know.
@@LeeDfined you can't fix stupid common sense and courtesy is not that hard to figure out but yet ......
I don't hate I appreciate coming from a new driver. ❤🎉
My hats off to that man, hes been driving since 73, 50 years and still trucking. Btw that lime green peterbilt is sick,badass!!
My late father drove 30 odd years from the 70’s into the 90’s. Much respect to this veteran who has alot of wisdom with experience
'74 here! 1:22 and we ALL had the CB and we all had a HANDLE, and we ALL used them. All day & all night.
Then come the 80s with everybody listening to those repeating talk shows from coast to coast and the 2 way started to take a back seat to all this new knowledge on the airwaves....we start introspecting slowly but surely, and thinking it's progress

At least some folks are keep big radios going but not the whole lane. All strangers nowadays it seems
Cheers!

Thank yuh' kindley, Dutchboy out. 😉
The difference between new drivers and old drivers is new drivers do it for the money and look at it as a short term job for future goals and old drivers do it because they actually enjoy the job/life style of it.
Do it for the money? Then why did y’all drive the prices down when 300,000 new CDL holders came in 2021? Rates were 4-5 dollars a mile and y’all came in and now the rates are 1.80-2.50 dollars a mile. You think getting a 2000 dollar check is money as an owner operator? Boy are you lost. It’s the new owner operators who came in and ruined everything. Especially the foreign ones who just started.
@@SirXyloidit’s happening in every trade same with welding. The American dream for trade workers is quickly dying
Yea, I been sitting in my motorhome a month at the Casinos in Biloxi. Won and lost both. Guess I will go back and go trucking I am bored!! Benn out here since 1977.
HEY, he's right ! I'm and old hand also and I feel the same as he does. Be a REAL PRO ! Thank my BROTHER FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
He’s telling the truth! Too many fearless and careless drivers out here these days, too!
I remember UPS being called buster brown. I’m from the old school of drivers with no electronics and our GPS was the trucker atlas and the cell phone was a road side phone booth. I agree with the automatics and steering wheel huggers, trucking isn’t the same, we had each other’s back anytime you were broke down and be surprised how many drivers on the CB asking if your ok. Same goes for traffic warning others of accidents or problems up ahead. I’m glad I got out 11 years ago.
Big talk coming from a door swinger
Thats right, calling out the county mounties and letting the other drivers know where they are located, But I grew up with Smokey and the Bandit, Breaker, Breaker and Convoy. MAGA Truckers keep our country rolling.
Truckers keep this country rolling and anyone who is a TRUE American with morals and values would never support such scum, keep your politics to yourself
Straight facts
Gotta love when old man super trucker walks around like his shit don’t stink.
Yeah don't you hate those arrogant assholes that act like that? I've got news for them, they're no different than me and everybody else, we all put our pants on the same and we all shit through an asshole.
The reason so many governed drivers hang out in the middle lane is because those same oldschool drivers will pass em at a snail's pace while they're trapped in the right as someone merges in at 30mph, laughing at the steering wheel holder who they forced to hard brake.
If someone is forced to pass on the right they floor it.
Hey, Remember who is supposed to yield. Not the guy doing 65 or whatever on the interstate but the person on the ramp.
@@johnchambers1380 Oh, I know.
That's a whole other rant.
“Doing 62 in the middle lane” is a product of the ‘Smith System’ that’s part of the training program at the mega-carrier fleets. Leaving yourself an out is not that simple. I’m at a company that does 70, and I’m being blown off the road because these companies from Chicago, LA, and such are doing 75. As for the CB, when Mr “Highways and Byways, watch out for those screwballs and window lickers on their spider boxes” starts up, I turn my CB off. I don’t need to hear insults when I’m driving.
It's splatter boxes, not spider boxes. That's Hard Drive and all you have to do is turn your squelch and RF gain up enough that you don't pick him up but you can hear those close to you. He's in NM and has a 10,000 watt amp hooked to a base unit and apparently out in the desert as he says all the time. I wish he would go back to whatever bench he's always saying he's going back to and stay there.
I agree. I had a CB and now I never use it because Everytime I turned it on guys were trying to start fights or insult someone and couldn't understand half of what they said with those 'trucker' accents. You know that ole country twang they all use to act like they're one of the cool guys out there.
Amen! Truth! Rode with my dad for over 20 some years. It ain’t the trucking I grew up with sadly.
As a new generation driver...Salute and Respect !!
He's dropping facts.
Things change, if you don’t hit anything and show respect to others. You are a professional. Show respect to the young guys also. 🤝
Here is a helpful tip for new drivers: don’t be intimidated by crotchety old school drivers. They may seem crabby from doing the job for long periods but some of them are actually willing to provide genuine help (and not bitch on a lame RUclips forum).
Im a new driver and i could care less about any opinions as long as im driving safe and making a living for my family . I'll leave the trying to impress other men to you old school truckers and new school wanna be super truckers.
We need you to find a CB microphone for your interview mics. 2:50 I am following the old guys for sure.
Man I gotta be honest, old man's preaching, although I will say alot of companies govern there trucks really low. Can't do nothing about that.
You can stay in the right lane
@@karlsborgwi.jewell9919 obviously. Until you gotta pass somebody.
I think what he wants to say is that the new generation of drivers don’t have any ambition to learn or grow in this industry. No ambition to become what an actual professional driver should be. They don’t even care to understand what a professional driver actually is. They think it’s some sort of opinion.
The new generation of drivers on the road think they’re better than the next guy. They think because they’ve been driving for a few months or a few years that they already know it all. They turn deaf when you try to teach them something. Unwilling to learn.
This is where most people with actual experience and knowledge get frustrated and I think that they don’t know how to explain it or express it properly.
There’s more to it. It goes deeper than that. It would just be too much to write down.
New drivers need to have ambition to learn and become as much of a professional as possible. Not just “good enough”. There is no such thing as good enough. Anyone can drive a truck in a straight line and most can back a trailer. There’s way more to this industry than just that and you need to have ambition to learn it all.
OG telling the truth I tell people this is a lifestyle and to many of the new drivers in this industry are a product of the times we're living in microwave want it instant,and the 1st thing they do is show they paycheck on social media.
Lifestyle? 😂😂😂 Living in your automobile? Showering in public showers? Missing out on your family? Eating no home cooked meals on a regular basis? Using public restrooms?
Having sex with prostitutes? Some life…
This man speaks the truth !
He’s speaking truth. 32yrs driving. Here
love the guy he’s telling the truth
I agree with the man on a lot. It frustrated me when I was a rookie driver how the industry was. My paw paw told me of his days on the road. To my disappointment, it pales in comparison to what he talked about. I just try to be the best I can be. As far as driving an automated? I see no shame in it. If that's what you prefer, piss on what others think. I see manual drivers who should just park and walk home. Transmission don't make the driver. Be professional. Look out for your fellow driver and the public. You're doing fine. That's my book. All this other stuff? Hell with it. I'm out here to make money, not friends. I'll look out for you, though.
40+ years. He's correct. Stick together. Starve NY or then move to the next mission. Drive like a old trucking professional.
You aren’t starving one of the most economical and important cities in the world. Most of our money comes and goes thru there and if you start messing with that, it’ll come down on truckers hard.
@FlexedNoose 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ask Colorado. Been there done that. Look it up.

@@RidinWitKenny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

THE NEW AND SOME OLD DRIVERS NEED TO SET A BETTER EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS/STOP THROWING YOUR TRASH OUT OUT THE REAR OF YOUR TRAILERS /USE THE TRASH CANS AT TRUCK STOPS
The dock worker is crying.
Absolutely True 👍
I agree totally with this gentleman. I am ashamed of what our industry has become. The people from Europe and the middle east have absolutely zero respect for trucking or our laws and our regulations. Most don't even speak English. So sad to see. BTW, my husband has over 4 million miles coast to coast. Not one ticket or accident.
I have to say i do agree with you. Even tho I was born in Europe I drive in the USA. I'm old school and i agree that allot of theese Europeans don't hamd respect. They shame other European truckers like myself here in the USA. They don't speak english even Punjabi drivers as well and Russians have near to zero repsect.
Im a european born person who grew up over here, I give a lot more respect than I get for sure. Also, I am fluent in english and serbian 😂😂😂
I drive a automatic but you won’t find many other drivers more courteous
Well, he's right!
Absolutely Correct
I understand a lot of new drivers fall under what this guy is saying. But not all of us. I’ve been driving a year and I’m one that first I learned on a manual truck and drive one for a few months until not by choice was given an automatic and am governed at 67. I actually have respect for the other drivers on the road and move stay in the right lane until im passing. Until I get screwed by the cars that then pass me on the right and won’t let me back over by over taking me because I wanna give room to the person I’m passing before I get back over. and also other truckers. I get disrespected by a lot of old school drivers. So it’s not just the new people. So I’m here to say it’s not everyone but it is everyone.
8 years driving, but I have been in a truck since I was 16 on the farm.. third generation, and my dad taught me simple respect and common courtesy. Their is barely another driver who is willing to help, make a convo, or let you know what's going on up ahead.
That’s the truth, old school for real. I got taught by a old school trucker 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍👍 I use to always be on the house CB radio at home when I was a kid talking to truckers every night, back when parents use to invite truckers for dinner sleepovers cause there wasn’t always a place to sleep… rock on old school 🤘🤘🤘🤘… hope you don’t mind I put you on my description for most of my videos 👍
I agree with this man 100%. The problem is half of them do not understand or speak the english language. They ONLY understand flashing signs sometimes.
The man is talking the right thing
16 years 48 state longhauling back in the 80s & 90s before wireless phones and CBs were necessary. Drivers were courteous or got called out. I don't know how real drivers can stand todays crap, The job it self is tough enough..
That international been in the game a very long time I use to always see it at the service areas off the jersey turnpike I haven’t seen it in over 10 years it’s awesome to see it on the channel.
The profession has changed. Every single person on the on ramp. Is looking at their phone and not looking to merge.
He wants everyone else to give way to him. But doesnt have any patience himself. 😂
Its ok. Many of us been around just as long as him. But dont get an ego with experience. There is no law that you have to drive a certain way for anyone. Some times you have to be aware that bad traffic has too many idiots. Which includes this guy. I dont have to do anything for idiots. That middle lane in highly trafficked areas is to relieve on ramp traffic. He knows and wants the lane to himself. He is an idiot. Because I can see through his bs selfishness.
Also. Too many immigrants. Like him clogging up the roads and beating them up. None of the roads are being repaired. I dont have premium comfortable suspension in my truck.
But my spine has to give way to his ego. He needs to sell his truck and stop crying. Life isnt fun, unless its a challenge.
And yes, I started out driving stick. There are two mechanical differences between the two. One you can shift your entire life and eventually bloe out a knee. Luckily I didnt. Or two, You drive a less reliable automatic. Manual has more options than an automatic. If something happens to air lines. You can increase rpms. Which forces the air compressor to pump out max as it spins the belt at the higher rpm. Giving you time to deal with the leak. You cant do that with an automatic. Because transmission requires air. You cant control rpms in an automatic. It wont let you.
Tell him to retire. If he cant handle more trucks on the road. That he deems in his way.
Well said, too much ego, very over-emotional male, needs to get laid
This dude labels new drivers as “steering wheel holders,” a veiled insult, yet advocates for mutual respect; that's not how that works. This is what we call hypocrisy. How are you going to earn someone's respect when you insult them? How can new drivers respect experienced drivers when they're generally treated as incompetent (To be fair, I'm sure there are drivers who drive like turds)? We all had to start somewhere. That being said, respect is earned, not given.
Longnose supertruckers usually contradicte themselves any time they talk...😂
These new steering wheel holders drive trucks like they drive their cars , tailgating , move over to exit the fwy. at the last minute, running the hammer lane indefinitely and just down right rude .
@markshultz640 I see 10x more longnosers acting that way but okay. Always someone else's fault👍
The reality is dinosaurs treat everyone like trash and then whine about respect, completely delusional, and they all act like they started trucking perfectly, they forgot they were once the new guy too lol geezers just need to keep their ignorance to themselves, if they have nothing positive and informative and uplifting to say they need to zip it!!!!
Yea we all started somewhere. And we started at the bottom and worked our way up. For me, doing local farm work. Milk, wood shavings, hay. Etc. Now a new driver gets his license( honestly or not, the Connecticut scandal), and is thrown into a truck running 48 states. 3 gps' suctioned to the windshield, 2 phones at the ready, 1 if they cant read our language to translate those signs that are written in English and another to hold in a drivers face showing their question in English so they can get a translated answer when I answer to their phone. Not to mention team operations. 2, 3, and 4 drivers in a truck. Yes I've seen it. Along with entire families in trucks. Not giving the kids a ride when schools out, but living in the truck. Seen it. The new pros. And the poor suckers who fell for the lease purchase sales pitch? Sorry for the rant. Over and out.
He's right

Spitting facts.
I’m a 55 year old rookie, but I do show respect and I operate with common sense. Cheers.
It takes more to drive a truck than a steering wheel. Just because you drive a stick shift doesn't mean you're God's gift of Truck Drivers.
And that's part of the reason why drivers don't get along. They name call, film people who struggle, tailgate, and cry like babies on the CB.
My Dad and Uncle started in the early 60s. Got to go with my Dad in the late 60s and early 70s. So glad I was able to experience that era
Understand this,
Most old school truckers had a passion for trucking . It was all about putting the miles down in style and the industry thrived on professionalism. Trucking was an art.
Now a days most drivers couldn't care less about the industry. Manual vs automatic, Pete vs Freighliner, boots vs flip flops, none of that matters.It's all about running up a bag by any means necessary and on to the next.
Entitlement from old school and new gen drivers is one the many reasons why trucking doomed.
"running up a bag" is not an expression I've ever heard before
Yup agree with him 💯 seen it today on I66 2 truckers going 65 and 64. Move out my way, I got a busy day.
Were they foreigners?
That driver is on point!! Feel the same way
I own one of those new trucks I also have 49 yr,s over the road 1975 - 2024 I do not consider my self a steering wheel holder but will compete with anyone have 6,000,000 mile,s to help give a new driver advice on how to present themselves right dress code , right equip ,right attitude and you can do it with or without a gear shift in middle of the floor been there done that .
He telling the truth
He been trucking sense 73?...what the hell is his diet? How old is he? He looks young
Been driving since 1996 own my stuff n hope everyone is safe
Hats off, salute
Love this guy!
been driving since 78. he speaks the truth. the people today think they know more than the old timers and some of them can't drive a single stick, so sad. as for the cb he right, people don't have them or use them. one reason for more wrecks during bad weather. I wonder how many could drive and live in the truck we drove back then. my first truck was a 68 international 4000 cabover 238 Detroit with 10 speed, no air ride seat, no ps.no air,vaccum window wipers. not much insulation, cold in winter and hot during the summer and a single sleeper.
It's beyond repair and furthermore our country!!!
I love this guy he is saying what a lot of older drivers are thinking I agree with him there is almost no respect between old drivers and new drivers anymore great show brother ❤I listen all the time god bless you ❤
He’s right my dad started driving in 1973 @ 18 and is still driving today, he taught me the old school ways. No Flip flops, indicate with headlights when a driver can safely move over, give thanks with hazards AND STAY IN LEFT LANE EXCEPT TO PASS no matter how many lanes
He said it!! Follow the ole guys!! I learned so much from the ole school guys
I’m a new school driver but I agree with this guy
It’s sad old school drivers where on cocaine and meth and try to talk down on the new ones. New guys they learned most bad habits from the old entailed fools😂
They were driving with two logs, high on meth with a prostitute in the back.
Agree also new drivers use cell phone go back to the cab
I agree 200% with this Old style Driver, Start with Respect and Professional Attitude. Use your speed Control. Add a little for Passing only.
Respect isn't given its earned people forget that
He's not wrong. These drivers aren't professionals anymore. I just started a local job and none of the trailers had current inspections, most had flat tires and my tractor didn't have any paperwork at all in it. Guys had been driving them around without checking a damn thing. Nothing but steering wheel holders. It's really sad. There is no pride anymore.
that's because the pot holes are bigger than a vw bug in right lane
