@15:00 That’s called a pumpjack. Alex, you’re in the Texas Permian Basin-one of the richest oil deposits in the world. Oil is sucked up a shaft as the “horse head” rises. As it lowers, the oil in the upper part of the pipe is pushed through a system of underground pipes to storage tanks.
The irony is the ev trucks can probably efficiently distance wise carry the same amount as someone on a ebike the minute there's weight the distance is cut ridiculously
Your videos are addicting. I'm sure people don't expect it to be at first, lol. One complete video and they're hooked for life. Better keep it coming, dude.
Hey just a quick suggestion Alex. Take that bike to a bike repair shop and have them install a generator that will change your battery while you are peddling without battery power. It may not charge it fully, but If it charges it even half way, that's going to be more than you had, especially when your tired of peddling. Just make sure they are authorized to repair different top brands of bikes and its in a big town so you don't get ripped off. Not some sketchy hick town. Also you may have to leave it a few days if they are backed up with repairs, so plan your schedule ahead of time so you will be in the area when it's ready for pickup. Parts and labor shouldn't be over $250 which would be fair for a good quality charging system. Probably a lot less. That was just a guess. Oh make sure you at least get a small bike carry bag for water, snacks, a fold up poncho, flash light and keep a small charged battery bank in it, to recharge your cell phone in case it dies on you! Oh last. While it's in the shop, Get a switchable brightness headlight installed also, just in case! They are rated by lumens, so the more the lumens the more light your going to get, but it will use the battery faster. A switchable one will use less lumens on a lower light setting. Switch to high only when you need it! That will help save your battery! Have fun and stay safe and watch those sketchy allys! Oh. If your ever back on the worst road you said in Michigan, where you were bouncing out of the seat......it's been mostly re-paved! Pennsylvania rd! Later. Jpol.
Love your videos and hearing your voice. Helps me so much with my anxiety. Thank you, keep up the great work and always looking forward to your next video
When I saw ur video that u were in midland I had a feeling u would come to Seminole! I was washing some semi trucks and I saw u leave toward lamesa on Sunday
Please please please pretty Please!!! Do more bike riding videos. You make them soooooo interesting. I simply enjoyed your exploring bike ride to the 10++++ X 10!!! (and you actually get some very good exercise while entertaining us. It's a win-win deal.)🥇😁
Thats so weird, I just found your channel and now your exploring a town literally 20 minutes away from where I live. I swear Im living in a simulation! And just an edit, thats not an oil drilling mine. Its called a pump jack, all it does is pull the oil to surface. And yes there is a crazy amount of massive houses in Seminole.
ill expand on your ideas a little...if he's gonna do those things 1~charge those dam batteries for faster speeds! 2~bring along mr 🔫 to use against any "homies"
Lived in Seminole 40+ years ago. Little has changed. As my dad would say about it, “If God decided to give the world an enema, he’d insert at Seminole.” I disagreed. 30 miles due west. 😉
I have a folding bike too. Instead it’s not electric. So one day I rode over to a Cracker Barrel and i ate. After I unfolded my bike and tried to ride away into the sunset. Except I didn’t lock my handlebars correctly and so when I jumped on my bike, I quickly hit the ground. In front of manny! And now every time I pass a Cracker Barrel billboard sign, I get flash backs and PTSD and begin to sweat! 😅
I live in Seminole. There is a pump jack right down the street from my house, and I live in a nice neighborhood. This is common in the Permian Basin, where Seminole is located.
This is hilarious. We live in Seminole. 😆 We live south of town, out in the country, but frequent that Tractor Supply often. Yes, that's in the hood. 😆 We watched this right after you posted, didn't comment then, but wanted to come back to tell you that when we drive past that "2 million dollar house" we chuckle and think of you . Yes, lots of money here in oil and farm country. 😆

One more thing Alex in a lot of those rural areas where people are seldom visited they tend to let their dogs run loose !!! BE BERRY,BERRY CAREFUL!!! IJS 🤔🤔🤔😊💯👋💪
Alex it's good to see that you go out and get some exercise, hopefully you will get out there often it can keep your mind be a little sharper. I cycle all the time and stop at stop signs but I see other cyclist go thru stop signs all the time, good to see that you stop at stop signs, keep it up.
My grandparents lived there in the 1950s. Those houses are all gone now! I am from Kermit, Texas. The city water tasted horrible there in Seminole! Kermit had good drinking water!
Does Variant not have text or email notifications for their drivers? Most carriers have this ability, so the drivers can get out of the trucks and enjoy life.
Zillowed That large brick wall house estimated $385k. And that’s Texas for you. 3800 sq ft! My 1300 sq ft house in suburbia in So Cal. est is $550k! Time to move to Texas!!!
Alex, the company that I ran for had an app that I could use on my tablet (as I Hate smartphones) that all messages that came to the truck would show up on it as well. I don't know what you do for security on the road, I always had a few 'companions' along on my travels, I.E. Mr.45 and Mr 12gauge, was it against company policy, Yup, you bet it was, did I care, nope, I like my life.
Alex, Ok I clicked on the discord invitation and it wants me to download discord which already have, can't get your discord page thru the invitation and on my laptop it's asking for a four digit number.......so confused........

Tired of the high diesel prices?? Delivering on an electric bike now 😂
Lol
@@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY theres been other vids with that lectric lite bike of urs where you didnt charge it....THAT THING NEEDS ELECTRICITY ALEX😁

@8:15 That’s a 12.5 ton above ground reinforced concrete tornado shelter. Holds 6-8 people. It can withstand an airborne semi dropping on top of it.

this is my first time watching a video of yours that isnt a short loved it !
"This truck is so tall..." is actually not the problem Alex.
“That cat is giving me a dirty look 👀 “ 😂😂 oh man your so funny 🤣 Alex.
I lived there for 6-7 years. Graduated high school there too.. Watching this video brought back memories!
Alex!! Just wanted to let you know I stumbled across your videos and have been watching all of your backlog! Thanks for the great work!
There's way more truckers who deserve more than this clown
I really enjoy your long-form vlogs, even mostly unrelated to trucking. Just figured I'd let you know its appreciated.
Love your videos and hearing your voice. Helps me so much with my anxiety. Thank you, keep up the great work and always looking forward to your next video
Just causally riding around Sandy Shores
most people hate it but there is nothing wrong with a little cardio, pedaling power, get that heart pumping 🤣🤣
This is my town!!😂😂 and no its not dangerous!
When I saw ur video that u were in midland I had a feeling u would come to Seminole! I was washing some semi trucks and I saw u leave toward lamesa on Sunday
Is there a way to partially charge your bike's batteries while pedaling or coasting? Just curious. I'm enjoying your videos while working. Thanks!
Not these. Source: I’ve got the same bike lol.
Please please please pretty Please!!! Do more bike riding videos. You make them soooooo interesting.
I simply enjoyed your exploring bike ride to the 10++++ X 10!!!
(and you actually get some very good exercise while entertaining us. It's a win-win deal.)🥇😁
That was a pleasant bike ride you had there. Glad you enjoyed and had a break from the truck. :)

Alex & big rig becca's videos are addicting!
That was a cool video. We all went on a bike ride. Good job getting the bike back into the truck. It was like a WWE moment,
I really enjoyed the bike tour. You should do more of these in addition to the trucking.
Surely you have a small inverter on board to charge your bike up when traveling?
Alex the camrea has been blurry these past day and can u fix that and nice video man I liked it
I grew up in the hood, two things you need not do ride a new bicycle through a area you don’t know and don’t film shit you don’t know..

Then you haven't visited in person. It hardly looks the same anymore.
Is it a possibility that you can charge the bike while your driving?

You should ride over to my place. You're just 300 miles west of my home, lol. Be sure to charge the bike first. I'm over 2000ft in elevation.

See if you can get a bike rack attached to the truck
All that energy from a banana and some peanut butter 😁

I live there I wish I got to meet you your an inspiration to me🎉❤❤
Alex, did you charge your bike?
Hey Alex, good to see you getting some execrise.
Did you run into Leatherface driving through that first part of town
Does Variant not have text or email notifications for their drivers? Most carriers have this ability, so the drivers can get out of the trucks and enjoy life.

Always great videos 🫡👍💪🏽
So you’re going to come to a T and make a straight driver
You are in what we natives called snob hill. The walking park is the beginning of snow hill.

Hey Alex! Be careful charging.E bike. NYC numerous fires and some deaths related to batteries igniting while charging. Be Safe! Bill Retired NYPD
What goes up, must come down.
Looks like you were thru some sketchy parts of town.
You're not afraid leaving your truck far away someone could come and Mess with it
Tune in next week, to see Alex accidentally bike into a drug cartels compound.
Crazy how you can go from a dumpy neighborhood to a expensive area in less than 15 minutes.
You look like the boy from The Lorax :)
Be careful bro Texas chainsaw massacre namean
I believe that "Mustang" u were admiring was a '68 Camaro
