Man my trucking career has been nothing but a headache, i guess its the company's ive worked for. Clean driving record, and a clean person but dirty cheap companies make it frustrating
Much respect for taking your shoes off . I take mine off as soon as I get in my truck and put shoes on that never leave the inside of the truck. With all the nasty shit you walk in going through the truck stop why bring that into your truck
CB Radios are an absolute must. I drove in a leased operation hauling for Mayflower from 1971 through 1991. Sometimes though the CB fails. Winter 1978 - 1979, coming out of Seattle and heading for Fargo, ND I encountered a blizzard, complete with heavy winds and 70 below zero with the wind-chill. I ended up with gelled fuel filters and fuel lines and obviously, the engine quit running. Needless to say, I had to pull off on the shoulder. I hollered on the CB for help for a half hour or more while much truck traffic passed me by. Not a single come back asking if I was okay or needed help. In the bunk, I went into my down sleeping back along with my Doberman and we survived until about 5 hours later when a North Dakota State Trooper stopped and banged on my door. Within a half-hour, I was being towed into Fargo from only 30 miles west of Fargo to get my truck running again. So yea, CB Radios do help, but only if those with CB Radios respond.
I started driving in 1990 and CB's were a great way to communicate, I noticed as time moved forward CB's were less and less used by the otr driver. It got to the point in the 2000's that I didn't turn on the radio anymore.
@@alexisjoannlouisekaufman6959 Hello. You wrote, "Hi message me" - Okay, I guess your short message could imply I should respond in kind with a short message, so Hi, how are you? I could carry it further. How about: "Anything specific you were hoping I would respond with?" OR, your message reached me at about 2:53 AM here in the Czech Republic. I would say unless you were more specific with what you expect from me as a message then I don't know how else to continue. I could ask you to tell me about you, that would be a good start. I should say I am in between sleeps here. I mean my first sleep was from 24:00 (midnight in your world) until old man syndrome woke me at 2:30 at which time I fired up my PC to check email and exchange rates and now I am ready for my second sleep, so you won't hear from me again until I wake the second time. How's this for a short message?
Very good interview . I agree with what dave said and I think the same way . I've been doing this since I was 17 as well and I'm 61 now . He is a good guy . My hats off to him . Like I said very good interview . Thanks .
Thank you for letting Dave share his story. It was so interesting to listen to him talk about his trucking journey. 36 years strong!! Way to go Dave! As always, thanks for the great video!
Hey Alex I am a new CDL driver I've been watching your video for a couple of months now new subscriber to your channel all the information you give out so awesome for people like me and I just want to show my gratitude to you thank you
You really have a great style of interviewing drivers. You ask the right questions yet keep it organic and real. Keep it up my man. We appreciate your work.😎👍
Guys, this is a good video! My Dad is now 86 yrs old and he drove his own truck until he was 82. He was an owner operator since he was 20 yrs old. In his mid years he ran 3 or 4 trucks. And pretty much always did his own maintenance. And I really like Dave there. He knows what he is doing in the trucking world. Guys, I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep em coming.
It's a lifestyle not a job. Forget about having a family being married with the little house with the white picket fence. Because usually you're always gone. Forget about all the toys too. If you're sitting in that truck that is your toy. you'll spend hours and hours in weeks in months in that truck. I did it for 36 years but I started back in the '70s.
@@user-vo1qr2mj5h That is correct. When it comes to being a truck driver being aways from family and friends for weeks at the time, it's not just a job, but a special lifestyle. People who don't like that lifestyle, quickly find other options in a country like the US. In some countries; maybe not so easy.
Pick a good company a safe company and get your experience at least 5 year's then make a move if you want. But pick a company you can pull different kind of loads equipment it helps 😉. Make that money know your limits.
@@mikekendrick4586 I dunno, seen a few hard grafters retire after 50yrs then pass away, they don't last long sat at home twiddling their thumbs. My old man jacked trucking in after 45yrs, he's now in his 70s, labouring on a farm 6days a week for something to do.
@@tommyatkins2872 that's awesome your dad is a hard worker, still has his health and is independent. I'm just saying retired or employed, never worked a day in life. All mankind young and old from infants to the elderly will die and there's no order to it
I always have my CB on i have been driving for 3 years its a good practice it has help out a lot. I remember one day I had one year driving and it was a hot day like 120° and a trucker told me " hi FTS driver you have a CB" I was like yes he told me "your trotting rubber" I pull over and yup I had a blo out.
I had the same attitude with my job. It ceased being fun coincidentally, on the day I turned 50 and became eligible for retirement. 28 days later I was on the pension roll. Best decision ever.
I’m retiring from climbing trees for the last 36 years and at 57 I’m thinking of going to truck driving school. Still a little unsure this is what I want but I like work by myself and I want a rig like that one.
Had a 95 W-900 back a few years ago loved that truck. 36 years really seems just like yesterday, ran Chicago-Dsm from 1986-89 Minneapolis-Chicago 1989-1997, Minneapolis-Fargo,SouixFalls 1997-2000- Ran pigs from SooLine BN to BMC 1990-1992 Detroit Memphis Kansas City hauling the mail for numerous contractors been to ro many p.o. to mention I do miss it.
@Roger Mckinney guess it depends what you want. I fancy a bed and tv, people around me, my girl and personal space greater than the cab of a truck. Money ain’t everything I guess. But then our house is paid off so again, just different strokes. More power to you bro.
@Roger Mckinney lol I mean, I know but you don’t have an oven. Counter top space. You know. If we break it all down at the end of the day a trucker will end the argument with “well I earn X”. And that’s cool. Trust me. Just different strokes. I also feel like it’s a defense mechanism for a lot of truckers to justify the lifestyle. No way can the cab of a truck compare to a home man. Again, different strokes and God bless you guys.
@Roger Mckinney the biggest sleeper in the world is the size of my bathroom. Facts. No need for insults man, The extreme sedentary lifestyle isn’t doing most truckers any favors too. It’s not something to be glorified or encouraged living in a truck for decades. It’s done for the money, a lil of the freedom and not much else. And that works for some and not for others like me. Good on you though man. It is a great career in ways.
Man I Love this channel !! Tons of info Awesome truck drivers Beautiful trucks I tell you if the truckers would come together for each other they could control a lot of Shit !!!! Because if they stop the Country Shuts Down !!! And they know that
Hey that quote that you had on the piece of paper at the end is going to change my life. No lie, a little light bulb came on in my head and I realized I never put a date on ANY of my goals. Well that changes today. Watch how much shit I accomplish now bro! Thank you!
I have seen now that I have a job that I'm home every night, I wake up after 3 or 4 hours of sleep. I'll go back to sleep because it's 7 am and I work swings and I feel worse when I wake up the second time. When I was out on the road 3-4 hours sleep a night and I was fully ready for the day.
@@tombrady565, it’s so weird how stuff works like that. I know I’m the same exact way. If I sleep more than 3-4 hours, then my entire day is just a drag. The longer I sleep, the more tired I am through out the entire day. Doctors claim we need 8 hours of sleep, but I say to heck with that. Seems like a lot of us suffer from sleeping longer than just a few hours.
In the last few years, many Somalis, Eritreans and Ethiopians have started working as truckers and I would like you to interview these people. Great video as usual, thanks 👍
He's right on tires.Turbo failure doesn't wipe out the entire motor. Probably had a 1693 TA turned up and got it hot. As old as that truck is it probably has a 1693TA CAT
Damn man! You killing me with this banger videos just one after the other! That dude is right. Gotta spend money to make money. Mofos wanna have the latest fashion on but their truck is falling apart. Can’t wait to buy my truck. God willing in a year or so. Sick and tired of being a company driver.
Alex I love these stories but I don't see how people.live in their truck for that many years . That's not a life but the best to them and to each their own and blessings. Hopefully no one gets offended.
@@justanothertrucker7856 I was not disrespecting the gentleman I was just trying to say that must be difficult but nonetheless is something not everyone can do. Have a good day.
@@ruvimnedashkovskiy9572 damn that’s insane. Comments like these make me wonder if I should become a truck driver. I prioritize my fitness and need to work out at least 3 times a week. Is that possible?
@@deesplash7087 I’m wondering the same. But honestly you should be able to get it in anywhere with some dumbbells and gymnast rings. It’s the running I’m worried about
I could never ever live inside my truck full time I can’t even stand being inside my truck for 2 days. Why would someone want to live inside their truck is beyond me and I’ve been trucking for over 17 years now I just can’t find any good enough reason to want too. But big props to him I guess if it makes him happy then it’s alright. I just like women and being social
@@lovellrodriguez8567 I guess being home more than living inside a truck and having a social life makes me player lol 😂 I’ll just take a wild guess you love your trucking job as much as I do oh for the record I stated that if it makes you happy then it’s alright … carry on with your life enjoy life as you see fit wether it’s inside of a truck or at home being social
@@lovellrodriguez8567 just for the record I can be home anytime I want too lol guess it’s the privilege of being able to do what I want because I work when I want
He ain't lying about those cruise control drivers. They will run up on the truck in front of them instead of gauging their speed and instead of knocking off their cruise control, They will cut you off and see you coming up the middle! Man that burns my ass! It's some of the most inconsiderate sh-t you can do to another driver! Plus they don't have break away speed so now you gotta wait until he gets pass the other truck which can take forever because now he's not drafting behind the trailer and is pushing through the wind now and he may never pass the slow truck. But wait, now the slow truck will ride side by side instead of cutting of his cruise to let the guy get back in the right lane but now every body is stacking up like NASCAR until someone gets pissed (I've done it) and grab the hammer lane (because I have a 1996 W900L 3406e) and go around these a**holes at the risk of a high dollar ticket and burning up my fuel! Sorry I got long winded but Gee Wiz🤬.
Can’t imagine having all that. I’ve got a 2012 386 long frame (factory) and honestly I’ve driven with worse turning radius but nothing like that beast would be. Be nice to be able to walk around, actually cook and so on but idk
I understand the "no shitter" part. Who wants to carry around their piss and shit with them, if theres no where to dump? But why no shower? I did hot shot hauling for a while. 16ft cab and chassis, 2001 F350. I had a 5 foot truck camper, pushed against the cab as a "Sleeper" and still had my flatbed for the fifth wheel. Man, I never used my own toilet unless i HAD to. But I used my shower almost daily (If i had enough water). But that was mostly, as a hot shot, I didn't use truckers showers since I wasn't "actually a trucker" So having my own was a big luxury, and I just liked being able to shower after dropping off loads. Usually get in the truck for bed, and Im covered in grease/soot/ dirt you name it. -The life of a prissy man with a hot shot truck lmao, I just can't imagine having a sleeper *that* big, and saying no to the shower add in

@@ruvimnedashkovskiy9572 damn that’s insane. Comments like these make me wonder if I should become a truck driver. I prioritize my fitness and need to work out at least 3 times a week. Is that possible?
@@deesplash7087 I’m wondering the same. But honestly you should be able to get it in anywhere with some dumbbells and gymnast rings. It’s the running I’m worried about

Dang you found Mike from Breaking Bad......lol
Hi Bill message me
I could never ever live inside my truck full time I can’t even stand being inside my truck for 2 days. Why would someone want to live inside their truck is beyond me and I’ve been trucking for over 17 years now I just can’t find any good enough reason to want too. But big props to him I guess if it makes him happy then it’s alright. I just like women and being social
So why are you driving then if you want too be a player what a stupid response
@@lovellrodriguez8567 I guess being home more than living inside a truck and having a social life makes me player lol 😂 I’ll just take a wild guess you love your trucking job as much as I do oh for the record I stated that if it makes you happy then it’s alright … carry on with your life enjoy life as you see fit wether it’s inside of a truck or at home being social
@@lovellrodriguez8567 just for the record I can be home anytime I want too lol guess it’s the privilege of being able to do what I want because I work when I want

Dang! He looks way older than 54!!! I really thought he was in his late 60's early 70's! Honestly, I thought he was ready for retirement!
Real truckers 👏👏👏
Removing shoes makes you respectful 🤭

He ain't lying about those cruise control drivers. They will run up on the truck in front of them instead of gauging their speed and instead of knocking off their cruise control, They will cut you off and see you coming up the middle! Man that burns my ass! It's some of the most inconsiderate sh-t you can do to another driver! Plus they don't have break away speed so now you gotta wait until he gets pass the other truck which can take forever because now he's not drafting behind the trailer and is pushing through the wind now and he may never pass the slow truck. But wait, now the slow truck will ride side by side instead of cutting of his cruise to let the guy get back in the right lane but now every body is stacking up like NASCAR until someone gets pissed (I've done it) and grab the hammer lane (because I have a 1996 W900L 3406e) and go around these a**holes at the risk of a high dollar ticket and burning up my fuel! Sorry I got long winded but Gee Wiz🤬.
Haven’t seen him at hixton yet but I’ll keep an eye out
Can’t imagine having all that. I’ve got a 2012 386 long frame (factory) and honestly I’ve driven with worse turning radius but nothing like that beast would be. Be nice to be able to walk around, actually cook and so on but idk
I understand the "no shitter" part. Who wants to carry around their piss and shit with them, if theres no where to dump?
But why no shower?
I did hot shot hauling for a while. 16ft cab and chassis, 2001 F350. I had a 5 foot truck camper, pushed against the cab as a "Sleeper" and still had my flatbed for the fifth wheel.
Man, I never used my own toilet unless i HAD to. But I used my shower almost daily (If i had enough water).
But that was mostly, as a hot shot, I didn't use truckers showers since I wasn't "actually a trucker" So having my own was a big luxury, and I just liked being able to shower after dropping off loads. Usually get in the truck for bed, and Im covered in grease/soot/ dirt you name it.
-The life of a prissy man with a hot shot truck lmao, I just can't imagine having a sleeper *that* big, and saying no to the shower add in
