You probably won't see this message but I hope you tag me in your next video.... MY QUESTION IS.... AS A TRUCKER WHAT IS THE MOST PEACEFUL PLACE YOU'VE TRAVELED TO & WHAT IS THE MOST HECTIC YOU'VE BEEN TO???
Do they hire new drivers out of school? Trying to see what company’s I can drive for.. I’m about a two months away from getting my CDL. Starting class in the 21st of this month. Hopefully looking to be hired before the end of October, when classes are scheduled to end. Fortunately I’m a good student and should be able to get through pre-trip and theory fast because I’ve done a lot of this in my own before starting class. So, I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get enough drives in, hopefully earlier than they typically schedule them, in order to finish more quickly. Fortunately there are multiple instructors and only 10 students max per class!
True. It's amazing the more I got to know myself the more I realized this is the job for me. Now that im a truck driva... best decision I've ever made.
As an airline pilot, we share that similar struggle of being separated from family and friends. Thanks for what you do to get goods where they need to go. From one professional to another 🍻
@@theprodigalsun__get creative in truck stops, if you can park at the customer, otherwise your options are on/off ramps or look for nearby mom&pop truck stops as they’re usually less busy. But at the end of the day it’s a knife fight to get parking after 6pm. Drive at night if u can, or u can attempt to park at the paid parking section but be prepared for a knock at your door asking to move. Some places have real parking nazis that will call a tow truck on you if you park in reserved parking spots without paying.
I've always described life on the road as "A camping trip that just doesn't end".. My relationship with my wife is usually 3 phone calls per day. We sometimes go to sleep at the same listening to each other snore over the phone.. 😂😂😂..
Every job has it's ups and downs. Ups in trucking? You're alone. Downs? Stress/frustration due to traffic/construction/detours/weird small docks but mostly it's other drivers out there living their best life like nobody else exists. Cut you off, jump in front and slow down, refuse to let you merge or catch an exit, cross 3 lanes of traffic in front of you and run over the median to catch their own exit, run down the shoulder popping up next to you, you're trying to change lanes and nobody will let you go now the guys behind pop out and drive up next to you in the lane you're trying to switch to, its just great.
People decide to go into the position they do. You use your brain power and free will to research, apply and take steps necessary. If they don't like it they should quit. Not sob as if they were forced to do what they do.
@@linamarie84sometimes you “choose” to do something because it seems (or is) the best option for you at the time and it’s a means to an end, not because it’s what you actually want to be be doing. You could “just quit” , but then what’s the alternative? Maybe your other job options don’t pay well enough to support you or your family the way you need to, put your kids through school, pay medical bills, buy a house, save for retirement or investing etc. Maybe you’re doing the job to save up enough to pay for schooling so you can do the job you actually want to do. If you don’t have a better alternative or enough money to do what you want to do, you essentially *_are_* being forced to do something, you do what you can until you can do better. You should always TRY to focus on the positive or your goals, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t negatives and valid complaints people have that need to be vented. We’re only human, not robots.

@snake1844 They can't make anything without truckers. They have to get large amounts of raw materials from trucks. No trucks no manufacturing. Truckers are hands down the most important job in this country
@@Darkrider8893 1. theres many other ways to transport materials besides trucks or even motor vehicles in general 2. truckers wouldn't have trucks or exist to begin with if it wasn't for the people who thought up the idea, the people who designed the truck, or the people who actually built the truck there are numerous jobs that are FAR more important than the people who drive around all day lol
Yes, a big thankyou to you and all your fellow truck drivers. Speaking as a farmer I know how crucial you are to farming and the whole food production industry. Literally everything in the shops or the fuel we all need has been hauled by a truck at some point. I've always got on great with the truckers I know and have great respect for what they do👍 Loved the cooking, It looked very tasty 😋 Happy trucking 🚛 😊
Alot of the men out here doing jobs that make the world go around and society doesn’t appreciate you. Whoever you are reading this, i appreciate you king. Fr fr
@@shanelleg9865Exactly! Thank you to the female drivers! I used to do dump truck for asphalt paving, school bus, then otr reefer (only got paid $400 per week team driving, no home time in 2 months- felt like I was being held hostage!). Changed to a dedicated job, yet still only got paid up to 1/2 of what the guys got paid for similar routes. Yeah, the discrimination is real.😢
Thank you for what you do brother! My father was a truck driver the majority of his adult life. Not easy on the family at all and definitely a necessity when it comes to jobs.
Thanks Bro!! I always give Truckers props on the road, give em room. Mutual respect. Worked for a trucking company in San Diego, and a moving company in Colorado.
Have my road test this week! You’re the first channel and shorts i came across and started to consider this career. Best of luck in your life and career. God bless ❤
Yes thank you to all truckers out there. You are appreciated. My son is a tanker driver. The water you drink is clean because of him and the other drivers in his company in the SE . People just don't understand that without truckers everything we use would not exist. Be kind to truckers. My sons been driving about 26 yrs now.i worry about him everyday not for his driving but the other people out there who think it's fun to pass and cut trucks off. Please please be kind to our truckers.Dont cut them off,don't bow up and suddenly stop,and a lot of room to turn a truck or stop. Thanks from a Mother who wants her son to come back safe and sound.
In the US currently there are 1.58 million long haul or over the road drivers. Adding intermediate and local delivery drivers, the total number of professional truck drivers in the United States is approximately 3.6 million. Professional truck drivers in the U.S. collectively drive approximately 360 billion miles per year.
That last sentence you said is very true without these truckers it will be hard to get accessories,food, and gas so to all the truckers out there thank you for your service
I’m a RN and when I wear my uniform people always thank me but I always thank them aswell because we all have our gifts and something to contribute to our society no matter the profession ❤
I don't miss trucking, but I'm so glad that there are people out there that enjoy doing it day in and out. Did it for a couple years and hung up my hat. It wasn't for me, but I learned a lot about myself and built some excellent skills in the process. The industry can be abusive for sure, and it's so hard on your body and mind. Props to those that can hang and enjoy it.
Just got into this at the beginning of the year. Yeah I've learned it sucks. I also have found out it's not sustainable for me because I can't maintain my house (I live alone). And not being home is a massive drain emotionally. I think the only options for me is to get enough experience to find a day cab job or change careers again. It's the second time I've had to do this just to pay the bills. The other frustrating part is, I enjoy driving and apparently I'm good at this job.
Absolutely true, and you didn't even hit all the OTHER "high points" required to be a driver... Got 30 yrs OTR, the last 20 in one stretch, following a divorce I filed, and won, in 1994. Now happily retired. Bro, you and all the other "Hands" out there, EARN your way !!! ... Be safe, enjoy as much as you can, and "Don't let the "turkeys" get you down...".
To anyone who sacrifices their time to have society run as best as non-politicians can provide, I thank you. We kind of need them but we definitely need you!
Excellent! Five Stars! We all appreciate your efforts. Stay strong. Your special driving skills. Yes all the bad self-centered drivers should understand that driving is a privilege not a right!
