You can't call yourself a trucker til you've been stranded somewhere along I-80 in Wyoming. Good work being prepared, and stay safe out there.

"If you aren't going fast enough to pass the other semi just wait." Thank you for saying this Alex. I spend a lot of time driving on I40 between Memphis and Little Rock. There will be at least 3 times a trip where two trucks are side-by-side for at least 5-10 miles. It's almost like they don't realize there are others of us that are on the roads working also.

Being familiar with the stretch of road you are talking about, I'm sure they realize it, but don't care. The speed limit for trucks there is also lower than the car limit. I think it is 75 vs 70 or 65.

I-40 Memphis to Little Rock is torture. There is plenty of traffic to three lane that entire stretch and trunks in two right lanes.

It’s good that you pay attention to what you eat on the road. Be safe out there man this heavy part of the winter is almost over

You seem much happier in the videos since you’ve joined GP! Glad to see you doing well.

The I80 through Wyoming during the winter is closed more than it's open. The 70 through Vail can be worse. I always thought WDOT should post when the road is open, not when it's closed :)

Alex, Highway I80 is always bad in the winter due to snow, ice, and avalanches. During the spring you get high winds/tornadoes. If you have to drive that regularly, be warned. Back about 6 years when I started back trucking I actually saw an avalanche happen in my mirror and I hit the gas pedal, because my life depended on it! I think 2 or 3 trucks just got pushed right off the road into a ditches. You can believe me I'm not going back out there again! I don't worry any way I will do my North Carolina -Virginia or North Carolina-Florida. The Atlantic Coast is my favorite . Next week I have to team with my boss's son to go to Yankee Candle in Mass. Keep safe and WARM!

Alex thank you for sharing your ups and downs and especially the beauty on your travels. Stay safe on your travels.

Wyoming is a beautiful state but it has too much high winds and black ice 😳. Stay safe out there, Alex!

Few 4 wheelers know or understand down time. Great video with hand on cooking in the truck. Also making extra meals to reheat when rolling down the road. Enjoy your trip and stay safe.

Sleeeper trucks appear to have this real cozy feel with all the amenities

Damn bro, I don't even cook like that in my own home! I have no excuses anymore! lol If you can cook like that in a truck, I can certainly do at least the same in my home. Congrats...you're not just a trucker, you're an inspiration for would be chefs like me. Keep on truckin'! I've really been enjoying your videos. And STAY SAFE out there! Hope I see you passing through the Dayton, Ohio area sometime!

When I finally started getting trucks with refrigerators I could eat healthier and dropped weight from 250 pounds to 210 and then down to 180 pounds. I also walked a half hour at least every other day. I think I've walked in every state east of the Mississippi and a few west of it. I'm now medically retired since 2018. Day before yesterday I made Turmeric Rice with okra and Pepsi Cola Chicken. The recipe calls for Coca-Cola but I'm a Pepsi fan.🤷🏼‍♂️

Alex, when you used your smart pass after you hit the pedal twice make sure you're going down a hill for momentum if you use that going up a hill your gonna burn fuel more just helping you with some tips , I also do stop at polit flying j and one 9 truck stops and be safe out there.

Thanks for the video. For some reason driving is very relaxing to me.

Hey Alex, I showed them backing and perfect parking, then I showed off a little. Cypress wants me for an instructor, they offered me like $80,000 for my first year! I told them nope I want Atlanta-Charolette dedicated and a green Kenworth T680 or I would walk. I told the guy if I make a call my rig would be here in 2 1/2 hours. I guess they want to negotiate more? I love driving I don't have the patients for teaching right now. What should I do? You had a video where the veteran trucker helped you out, I did something like that in (6 minutes) 4 moves including checking my clearances once.

I'm just amazed that not every new truck does not come with a monster screen GPS in the dash.

Oh Alex.. I cooked everything in my hot plate. I boiled eggs I mainly did rice dishes with hamburger meat and vegetables, soy sauce. I used a lot of paper towels to wipe out and then I would use dawn soap in a water bottle and it’s doable. I even had a portable toilet.

Hey Alex When I retire from trucking I want you to know that I have brought you a couple dozen subscribers. My way of handing you the ball. I brought you 53 people including 5 of my own names becareful in the world of trucking. John

Very important truck advice. Helpful video, many many thanks, my friend.

Everyday me & my grandma sit on the couch watching your videos I don’t know why but I love watching ur videos it’s so entertaining and you’re amazing!!

Stay safe out there! Hello from Rhode Island!!

How cow I've never been this early before. Good luck and godspeed out on the open road. The weather ain't no joke these days!

Glad to hear you say you clean the inside of your truck cab. All that cooking of meats in the cab yields oily vapors that will embed in everything, everywhere. Glad to hear you have a high regard for safety.

i was just stuck out in wyoming on the 80 this week. was stuck from last thursday until this past monday. 4 ish days stuck not moving due to weather. it was soo boring and freezing cold.

Stay safe and warm. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏

You could get a 2x4 piece and use it to hold the bed up whenever you need to take out your cooking supplies !

Keep your dreams alive, Alex. One day, you'll get there!

I love your passion and creativity for cooking 😃❤️

Truck safe. Be patient! Enjoy your channel.

Good morning Alex! Love your channel. For real dude. You are the real deal

Your dream life sounds great Alex, and good to see you cooking I like the meals. Keep Safe , Healthy and warm. 😊🙏✌

You do a good pre-trip inspection Alex, everyone should watch your videos!!

Keep warm and stay safe bro

4 or 5 days?! Geez. I'm from a snow state, so I'm used to horrible weather.. still sucks

like a pico de gallo , you could add precook shrimp cut in half and make a ceville since you add lime juice, buy the toast tortilla and top it up on the toastada,

Wish more truckers had your attitude Enjoyed

Great video Alex. You cook some great food too. Stay happy and be safe. Love you.

what about folding the top bed down and using it a shelf for all the cooking stuff. you could put one this like cargo net thingy's that people have in the cars trunk up to keep everything from sliding off

I love the big weather disaster storm videos. The cooking is ok to watch but I would love to see more of the storm. Maybe even interview some random truckers you pass and see what all they have to say. I love your vids. Do not get me wrong. Love Ecuador too!

That’s pretty rad that the company does daily weather checks…………. Everyday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Safe travels and thanks for the accidental laugh

I have that very same microwave in my kitchen today. Works SUPER great.

Hey Alex stay warm and be safe 👋🏾👋🏾👍🏾

I drive local for FedEx in southern Al. I haven't worked all week because all the freight that moves through us is stopped because of the weather out west and up north.

Set you cruise and press + on cruise and it will add 3 more miles.. then double tap gas to get more +3 miles while in cruise.. i used to work for gp aswell.. you can go 71 mph in 15 min..

I’m Ecuadorian , that salsa is the best !

It’s crazy bc i heard all kinds of crazy stuff going on. I been over here on the other side of the North Dakota corridor

Alex I love your videos soo much. Keep lashing us with more and more and more

I live up in Rapid City, SD just north of Nebraska! You must be on I-80 heading west!

Its 60s mid 80s all week in Florida. Worst we are getting is a little bit of rain

Alex I live an hour away from Dallas Texas We have been below freezing for the last 4 days It's ironic you said Texas is warm hahaha Love your videos bro

Have you ever thought about getting an Insta pot?! it has all kinds of features that you can use in the truck!

Hey Alex, I was watching on of your other videos and you said you couldn’t figure out how to turn on your fog lights. The turn switch that turns your lights on, when you have your headlights on, pull that knob out just a little bit and they’ll turn on

Lol I was just at the pilot on campstool Rd in Cheyenne two days ago. I delivered to the Lowe's DC.

The last few days in the DFW area as been rough man!

alex you should get a small air fryer, you can cook anything inside one and it cooks quickly.

I live and truck out west and the weather can be pretty wild. Always have to keep an eye on the radar and forecast. Sometimes you still might get caught out. I was on i80 this same day going to WY for a delivery.

I sat in Green River Wyoming 50 hours over the weekend waiting for 80 to open. Don't wait. Go down to 70. It doesn't close. Earlier this year 80 was closed for six consecutive days. 45 miles an hour is a breeze. 75 mph is high wind for them. It will flip an empty trailer and blow the snow around, once again closing the road.

When you said I-70 I just went "noooo" at my screen. I've driven I-70 going west through Denver and then going up through the mountains in a car and that sucked. And the drive down from the pass, in a car, was enough that I never want to do that again. Thinking of you doing that in a loaded truck just made me all sorts of anxious. When you first mentioned Nebraska to Salt Lake City I already got worried about you going that way, until it hit me you'd be on I-80 the whole way.

Do you carry a full set of chains? If not, don’t take I-70 in wintertime. Colorado scales will at times check that you carry chains.

Cool videos. Enjoy the content. Always wondered what trucking is like. I am just to high anxiety to so it. :)

Ecuador is a beautiful Country similar to Columbia but yes very economical to live there. The produce blows the doors off on American produce. Plus the currency is the American dollar. Don't bring $100's because the vendors cannot break a $100 bill. Safe travels Alex.

Alex, YOU'RE THE MAN !! I like your videos, it's amazing to be inside a real american truck ! I'm living in Belgium in Europa and since 2007, everyday I drive a lot of miles with "American Truck Simulator", probably you know it. I like to cruise across America and Canada, onboard un superb MACK but, when I'm hungry, I've NOT a fridge onboard !! Crazy, it's amazing to cook inside the truck, really. Live long and prosper, have good drives ! 😎

I seriously think you would enjoy going to the Culinary Institute! I have a friend who went there and he has worked at Pebble Beach and other good jobs ever since

I-70 through Colorado in winter would be a bad idea anyway, it goes right through the Rockies and you'd most likely be required to have chains
