Hey Alex I hope you are doing well and everything is okay. I hope you are just busy or on a well deserved vacation from work and socials. Keep driving forward brother.
We follow people on RUclips like fans. When they haven't posted for a while we naturally have concerns. This only show how much we admire Alex. I never met him in person, and most likely I never will. Before finding this channel I thought still today all semi's had manual transmissions! I also learned how to cook a meal in small tight places. Here missing you - Stay funny - Keep well.
Since Alex hung up his vlog for unknown reasons, hoping he may return soon or at least upload a goodbye video. I suggest "Riding with Dave" for your trucking vlog fix. WE ALL MISS YOU ALEX AND WISH YOU SUCCESS.
Great video, Alex! I hope you eventually got home. There was noticeable sadness in your voice at the end after you found out you weren't going home. I literally, outloud, went "AAAAAHHH NOOOO!" But, what a treat to come home after work today (I also did a 10 hour shift) and see that you've ALREADY posted another great video! Stay safe out there! And thank you for keeping us 4-Wheelers safe, too!! A lot of 4-wheelers out there could learn a thing or two from you about simply using a blinker! See ya, next time!
Rumors. This dude Alex is alive and well. He posted on his IG that he took the month off from RUclips and trucking. He says he will be back and uploading only once a week going forward.
At 29:15 I heard him say "It turns out I am not going home". I hope he was able to get someone else to do that run or he went home after that. I hope all is well Alex.
Can you make a video on what most truckers would consider “ideal driving patterns” for non-semi drivers? I frequently commute between LA and Phoenix (in a small sedan) and see a lot of foolish things being done around trucks by other drivers. Thanks Alex!
For all the people that judge alexs driving. Get over it. Hes on his grind. As long as he doesn't hit anything or anyone. Hes good. Im only 6 months with my cdl because of alex. Alex keep on it but dont overthink everthing. Unless your in a tight spot. Then over think every turn
Here is this guy Alex who stays on the road constantly except for down time etc. He does his job. For some reason many self absorbed know it all's sit and mock him , slander him , try to make him out to be an idiot or buffoon. I wonder what it would be like watching and listening to some of you on video? If you notice here's this guy doing his job, taking care of the equipment, keeping in clean , for the appearances of the company he works for, promotes them . He does listen to advice from some comments and applies some of it. Funny thing is from what I've seen he never defends himself from the constant slander. In my book, that makes him the bigger man.
Very true. I have been watching his videos for over a year. I have noticed he eats healthy. Lifts weights(burns calories) Enjoys his job. I would like to see these "arm chair truckers" who decry his work ethic try to do what he does.
Love the video brother don’t get upset with native communities just be you my brother I have Driven for 15 years and I think your a good and safe Driver injoy your time off .
Alex just how many times have you been hit at a truck stop? You make it sound like it happens to you all the time. I drove OTR for over 10 years and never been hit at any truck stop! It would be interesting to find out! Keep it in between the ditches! 👍
@@ranger70 yeah and most trucks gets wrecked LEAVING the parking spots.....he worries about the trucks thats going to back in beside him after he parks.
I was in the industry five years and got tagged three times parked at truck stops over those five years. Luckily they were all minor with two of the three breaking my drivers side mirror and the third time a guy hit my trailer and bounced but I couldn’t find any damage for the life of me so nothing crazy. It is a shitty way to wake up though.
You are an amazing person working in a very tough profession. I hope that you are able to purchase your own rig someday and enjoy the freedom of the road on your own terms. Keep living your dream!
Alex is the kind of guy who would let us know if something were wrong, or something bad happened. That's why im worried something bad has happened to him
He’s most likely taking a break or on vacation. Which is great cause I know he be grinding. I hope all is well man, take all the time you need. Enjoy life and be safe. ✊🏻
Frieghtliners were called "The Shakers" because they shake a lot I've driven a couple of these trucks, All execpt the Century Class that didn't shake at all.
I was told that Truckers who vlog daily aspects of their job, are encouraged to do so. By doing so, it encourages others to see the trucking life and hopefully inspire someone to become a truck driver. Since the trucking industry is very much in desperate need for employees.
I think that route is like State Route 30. I'm not sure because I can't see the route on your GPS clear enough. It gets busy AF in the mornings. There are traffic lights on SR 30 only when you're in the small towns along the way. I used to drive it a lot when I worked for LTL company 'YRC' ('Yellow Roadway Corporation') which is now defunct. I used to take SR 30 from around Chicago Heights, IL all the way to Akron, OH...there and back every other day. Dedicated route.
I think Alex is one of the safer truckers out there. I did see another Trucker youtuber that got fired for making videos while driving. I guess this was against the company policy which the trucker was aware of. Hope all is well Alex; I wish the best for you.
I have over a year of experience now, and thought about applying for your company, I’m from Phoenix and there is no terminal here, what do you recommend
Another great video from Alex. Watching it on my 23rd birthday 🎉, now that's a great way to start off the day! You're almost to 850k subscribers! Keep up the great content Alex!👍
I enjoy watching and seeing the otr life. It looks like it would be very hard. I am 58 years old and drove class b trucks, mixers, dump, and roll off back in the 90's but haven't been in a truck since. Thought maybe when I retire in couple of years of doing some again, but after watching alot of videos have decided against that. Way too stressful for me . thanks keep posting
Good morning, my Volvo is in the shop, my sub truck is a freight liner , I don’t like anything about the freight liner, do you use Geotab ? That the set up they have me using while in this truck
Its sad how you can't make videos on RUclips anymore without receiving hate. But that's a part of RUclips, there will be assfaces that try to say that you aren't doing your job when you clearly are. Thanks for the video Alex
Someone referred to me as creepy uncle Joe. Yeah creepy Joe worked continually for 50 years , most of that time in a manufacturing business. We built portable offices, warehouses , cabins etc etc . We hauled loads up to 16 wide up to 48' long and sometimes over height. I had drivers that were company nightmares and I had excellent drivers that got the job done placing buildings in places most of you drivers would say there's no way that will go in there, but they got them in there. I know how some drivers treat the equipment. They couldn't care less. Alex is a company's dream driver. Is he sometimes over careful, does he over think things sometimes, yes but the important thing is he takes care of the equipment, does his job and gets the job done without harming anything or anybody
These videos are great for giving me a picture of situations to expect when I get on the road. But hey Alex - is that your pee jug we see when you open your passenger side door 🤔🤔🤔
im sorry to break the news to ya but its way more dangerous running all of those small 2 lane back roads than it is an interstate....and those back roads take way longer time because of the red lights and small towns you gotta go thru. stick to the interstates.....those big cities are not a problem to drive thru at all.
I don't understand how you can be so meticulous about things such as backing up but when it comes to your equipment your straps all you do is Bunch them up and just throw them in the you don't roll them up the way they should be rolled up and put away
When I’m done getting unloaded at the customers, I always get out if there’s a fast as possible to let other drivers in the dock or get going on the next trip. I’ll sort out the straps & paperwork when I’m taking a break or stopped for the night.

Alex has the right to take a break or even stop uploading. But to leave his fan hanging without one word about it is terrible. Just a quick post saying "I'm taking a break" or "I'm done up loading"
Jay finally came out as being gay, he really wants you, he was heard saying, he thinks you're a very big man in more ways than one and he would love to find out

Yeah, rural highways have traffic lights and roundabouts. Nobody told Alex about it. 😂

Alex has 847k subs not only can he drive that truck. He knows exactly what he's doing. Don't mind the haters Alex keep up the good work 💯
He’s most likely taking a break or on vacation. Which is great cause I know he be grinding. I hope all is well man, take all the time you need. Enjoy life and be safe. ✊🏻
grinding? ok lol
or he got fired or his company told him to stop making videos
@@danielwerner5882 you don't know if either is true.
Never take the back roads, stay on the big road.
No! Then he won't be able to complain of traffic lights in the middle of the road!
by the why Alex I found another trucker vlog youtuber who drives for the American trucking company GP
Huh?
Jay? He is quitting RUclips too…
Frieghtliners were called "The Shakers" because they shake a lot
I've driven a couple of these trucks, All execpt the Century Class that didn't shake at all.
Heh I left Chicago 6 years back. I see midwest traffic hasn’t changed much.
Hope everything is ok. Been awhile since you posted anything.
Alex and Jay have not uploaded in awhile….wonder if GP Transco has prohibited Vlogging?🤔

Not true. Many have been fired for “safety” reasons. Way to many drivers and mot enough freight.
If true it’s a shame he left without notice.
What is Jay's channel?

Hi Alex I’m I’m 5 months in with Gp loving it I enjoy all your videos your hilarious man
8:38 Alex, tell him "Thank you driver" on the CB.
It should be called Alex the Blinker guy not the Trucking Guy, damn begins the video with his blinkers on
Where have you been Alex?? Hope you are ok
Hey Alex! Do you ever have time to take a vacation as a truck driver?
He never answers questions. Too busy backing his truck up.
Packing
I think Alex is one of the safer truckers out there. I did see another Trucker youtuber that got fired for making videos while driving. I guess this was against the company policy which the trucker was aware of. Hope all is well Alex; I wish the best for you.

Alex has a great attitude . Is this dry Ecuadorian humor . Wish you all the best.
Where u at bro? Hope all is well..
Dude has banked a ton of cash from RUclips and his trucking job. Probably just taking a much deserved break.
Everyone who has watched Alex's videos knows he will not park near the fuel islands, tanker or refrigerator trailers.
If it's late at night. Those down fuel lanes come in clutch or if there is space park in front for the night
I agree with that and also never park next to a bull hauler. Them cows are stinky and noisy 😂
They say this guy sleeps with his flashers on.
