You dang millennials always quitting your jobs never staying at one company until you are bones, having the audacity to move out of your hometown and see the world! I don't know what the world is coming to, you are supposed to live and die in the same town didn't anyone ever tell you that? Kidding aside happy to see you chase greener pastures, you have matured as a OTR truck driver and making this decision to go to a different company is a perfect one. Looking forward to the road ahead literally! Also Merry Christmas to you and BJ! Oh and BTW I live in STL again.

And as I understand it, in trucking, switching companies is the best way to increase your pay quickly. Did Billie Jo join you in the new company? I will say again that some of those team and vacation videos were among the best that I enjoyed because of your quirky things y’all did, like skating on a retention pond.

I learned about CFI from watching your videos and so far I've enjoyed working here. I'm interested in seeing where you go next. Good luck and be safe!

Wish you the best Dave. You've been a great inspiration over the years and I really hope you continue to keep us along on your journey. My careers over the years have been similar with many changes for better opportunities so I support you doing what's best for you and your family instead of just bowing to the corporations you work for. But no matter what you choose, I wish you the best and hope you stay happy in what you do. I hope to one day see you doing vlogs as a truck owner operator.

Randomly found your channel while trying to improve my RV trailer turning skills, and just love your content (subscribed). Great attitude man, it's been fun looking at older videos and seeing your progression. My close friend drove for about a decade and he's share so many wacky stories. I know having an RV doesn't compare, but I can sorta relate to getting through tight spaces and how you handle everything with patience and humility is really inspiring. Really put my temper in check, I'm hoping to take more of your attitude going forward. I hope the new gig works out great and you have more videos soon.

I'm leaving for training on the 5th of December. I just have to thank you for getting me into trucking and helping me learn along the way! You're the best Dave!

I remember the truck I had for Covenant Transport, which was 5549, which was picked up in Chattanooga Tennessee. When I got out of the truck, it had four hundred and twenty six thousand miles on it

You went through my city of Toledo on your last trip. That’s crazy. Hope your new company works out for you!

As someone who grew up around truck drivers my grandfather put 43 years into trucking OTR and my father did 15 years OTR but he now does local to be closer to family

Hope you left CFI on good terms. They seem to have been good to you and you never know when you may have to come back.

There's a lot of good Trucking companies but everything has to line up to make it a good company. The dispatcher, fleet manager (if they are separate), the Terminal Leader, the shops, the truck you get assigned too, the shippers/receivers. The random trailer you pick up if you have to swap trailers, etc. I had a great time at Swift but I've heard different stories about other people. I had a lousy time at Prime was told I wasn't Trucker material because I wouldn't roll in the dirt for them and be abused. I had a meh time at another Refer company. And I have a wonderful experience at my current company. I found one where everything for me lined up so I hope nothing changes for a while.

hey Dave, I had that exact same gps when I drove and my last drive was almost the exact route although I stopped in Toledo and went back down to Georgia and back to Toledo. Also US23 goes thru my hometown!! So that’s pretty exciting to see that lmao

Dave it’s midnight on dec 1 . Don’t do it!!! You are my hero😅😅😅

Taylor is where I picked up my first CFI truck some 14 years ago. It stunk of cigarettes and the dude who had it before me had the name "Mudflap" on the door.

Good to know that you truck driver make videos for those that can watch. The personal video of daily life's.
