My advice for the industry would be; 1)Don't believe a single thing someone promises you. It's more important to fill a chair for 2 months than it is to not be called a liar. They will hire you full on expecting you to quit so they will promise you anything it takes for you to get in that truck. 2) Don't expect to have a truck like this, not for a while. For lack of a better term, you need to pay your dues, and sometimes, even after that you still don't get a truck like that. If Billy Badass is what you're looking for, sometimes you will have to make sacrifices to get that, companies pay less but have nicer equipment ect. But no kid, fresh cdl, is going to get put into a long nose, loud, clean truck. You will get put into a plastic automatic volvo or freightliner because if you smack it up, it doesn't matter. 3) Never sign a lease. If you want to buy a truck, go to the bank, get a loan. The company pushes leases because it makes them more than the freight, Prime is a truck sales company, not a trucking company. 4) Learn to specialize. The industry isn't like the 70s, you're not going to make it big driving whatever wherever. Learn hazmat tanker, flatbed, or oversized. Stick to one thing and get really good at it. Find the jobs that pay the most, and then make yourself a good applicant to that job, don't expect your door swinging on the general market to match to those specialty jobs. 99% of the time, if it's in a box, it pays less. 5) Respect. Respect everyone everywhere you go, shippers talk down to you, smile and wish them a good day, someone cuts you off, just keep going. Respect for the driver has disappeared over the years, and it's because our respect for ourselves, and the public, disappeared as well. You are going to be a professional, act like it.

I own my trucking company and your so spot on. I wish more ppl were like you

Very good points. I was able to skip the OTR stage of my driving career by getting on with a small local gravel company at 18 years old. I met the right people and got the right information and after a few local driving jobs I bought my first truck at 23. A 1996 freightliner classic. Exactly 1 year later I bought my first Peterbilt. A 2003 379 with a 6NZ Cat named "Must be nice" because that's what everyone always told me since I was home every day and made plenty money. The truth is anyone can do it. I started out with nothing but a dream, good credit, and little money for a down payment. I'm almost 25 now and still have the Freightliner sitting at my house because it's so sentimental to me.

Facts my girlfriend left me when I started driving It emotionally messing you up and you feel like your life can't get any worse the sleepless nights are the worst the man it was probably the best thing that happened cuz I met a beautiful girl after that while I was trucking delivering at a ware house she gave me her number I didn't even ask because honestly I thought she was to hot for me lol I never regret this life trucking will change your life for shore

I will eventually buy my own truck once my kids are out of the house and my wife and I will team up..you don't need to go otr. Don't try to fill the image of what otr guys make it to be...guys are making close to 100k by making extra runs and working an extra day. This is just transporting product now, drop and hook. I didn't see a reason to take the hard beatin path.

That’s why the turnover rate is so high in this industry. False promises put into people’s heads in CDL schools... along with people thinking that it’s easy money. I lost count of how many people I’ve trained through the years that leave the job after a month or two. Most folks just aren’t cut out for 14hr days and getting tossed around in the saddle. It’s cliche but it really is modern day cowboying. Up before the sun and still on the road when it goes down.

I think we should all thank you for putting out your life experiences as a truck driver and all of the things you went through to get to were you are now ..keep on trucking bro ..and thank you so much for being an inspiration for another of us

This is a must watch for new people getting into this industry. Nice work on the video, 100% honesty!!

I love your channel and I appreciate your honesty about the reality of being a truck driver. Keep up the great work and as always safe trucking.

Great video! You speaking the truth. Been driving 37 years great to see the younger generation coming on. Love the truck and the videos. Keep up the good work.

You are awesome. I'm much older, have no career path toward driving, but I get so much pleasure and inspiration from your videos. You're wise way beyond your years, and I respect and admire your work ethic and and sense of what it means to do the right thing. Good for you, and thank you.

I watch you because I drive a route truck which is just a box van basically and have been up and down the interstate a million times and see truckers everyday and I have always wondered what it was like. I really enjoy watching you and I appreciate you just being real with your vids. Keep them coming. P.S no such thing as luck. You are blessed

I'll be starting the classes soon, But i appreciate your videos and many others. Your experiences and others showed me many pro's and con's of this kind of life. I have just begun, as a guy who has been indoors almost all my life. I am looking forward to this new adventure feels. I am sure I'll hit the ups and downs, and as a kid growing up this was one of my first dreams. Many others I've either lost or just can't do them anymore. Almost feels like I'm jumping ship. As they say, i got myself into this, Got to make this happen and not lose hope. I was not expecting this video to happen, but i am glad you made one. Just got to keep going, get some new experiences, and continue forward.

dude love all the vids and ur so humble and straight to the point thts what people like and just keep it real and im looking forward to ur next vids dude and pls stay safe and keep on trucking

Just started watching your channel a couple days ago and I keep watching it. Idk how you make them entertaining but they are. Stay safe man look forward to future videos. Beautiful truck.

As a disabled veteran, I can appreciate your honesty and straight forward speaking. The same thing can be said of joining the military, which I did. It sucks starting out, but it is what you make of it. And, after a time, it gets better. Thank you for the video. I have often considered perhaps trying to drive a truck, but I have military issues that make me unstable. My mother was a weighmaster in the early 80's, so I have an understanding of THAT end of things, then in the military I was a diesel mechanic on battle tanks. So, there again I understand THAT end of it. I only recently started watching your videos, and I couldn't be happier. In place of actually driving a truck, you fill a void in my life. So I owe you thanks for that as well. The video that really peaked my interest was when you visited Iowa80. I wish the video was a bit larger and covered more, but I liked it none the less. Growing up, I remember talking to truckers and listening to them talk and complain about their companies. Everything from dirty practices of "we will buy you a truck" then when the last payment hits "oh..gee.. we dont have work for you" and magically after they lose the truck "hey we found work for you, to sabotage of trucks, unfair company to company practices and a LOT more. But, I would still try driving if I thought my military physical and mental problems wouldn't hinder it. I grew up listening to all the horror stories (Roseburg, Oregon) from swift, knight trucking, and a few others I forget. I've even heard of some of the horror stories from weighmasters on both ends of things, from weighmasters being dicks because they hated a specific trucker, to truckers hating the weighmasters. One trucker where I lived got pushed so far, that he drove his truck and trailer through the weigh scale, and got sent to prison for it.

I just barely started watching. Thanks for the video and the comments! I appreciate it really.

Thank you for all of that, I needed to hear. I knew it wasnt all that easy. Respect ✌🇯🇲

Appreciate the honesty alot. These kind of videos are very important for people to see. The misery and loneliness is very intense and certainly not something everyone could handle and should handle.

🎯, 100%on point, you just described my whole experience starting out as a trucker 19yrs ago, I started out with "England" and any trucker that's familiar with that company already know the deal with them, very little pay and shitty miles but I weathered the storm and finally doing great. Keep up the good work and as a new subscriber I see that what you do and what you go through as a trucker is the same as me.

I really enjoy your videos buddy!!!! I sit and watch them for hours at a time. Keep On Truckin' !

Appreciate the information and just keep on trucking .

Congratulations! Stay safe and God Bless you!

Really appreciate your honesty about the life. I can understand that it’s hard at first because most people haven’t experienced anything like the life of the trucker. I can assure you that you did not discourage me. I enjoy driving, being alone and seeing the States. I feel this life would be a great one for me personally.

Some very wise words from a young man. You give some great advice and a honest opinion on trucking and life in general. Mental health is extremely important and a topic we all need to share more about. Thank you for having the guts to talk about that.

Right on man ,thank you 😊 stay strong,be safe,God Bless

Nice dude! Definitely something to think about. I’ve always imagined driving a stretched out cab over thanks man!

Great advice man! I got my CDL almost a year ago. I had a corporate job, the reason I got my CDL was for a back up plan more or less. Well my employer eliminated my job this past month and I was fortunate enough to be hired by a trucking company running local. My training consisted of a few times driving with one of the owners to learn how to float and operate everything how they wanted things done. I’m home daily and drive a Pete. I’m still learning and getting comfortable with everything but I’m rolling and making my way to that first paycheck!

I have to say that truckers are some of the nicest people I've met in my life. It seems like you guys carry yourselves in a way I would expect to see in a true Americana occupation. You seem, for as young as you are, and as briefly experienced in trucking as you are to be a rare professional with the right kind of head on your shoulders where you understand it's not easy to be out on the road and having to put up with the absubaties of general life and trucking and yet still be professional and what the younger generation needs to look up to. You bring positivity with you and I'm very impressed to see it as a 37 year old man who has witnessed my generation and the generation after it forget what respect and hard work will grant you. Keep up with where you want to go because you have a good head on your shoulders that is so sorely needed in the working world!

Watching this guys videos really helped me get the concept of how to shift a truck. I have to get my class a CDL for my new job and they want me to take the test in a 14 (?) speed digger truck. These videos help me get a better understanding on how to shift them and try to grasp the concept of splitting the gears.

I'm almost 22 and I've been driving 26ft box trucks 26,000 GVWR with a class C license since I was 18. The contract I had up until last year kept me working almost all the time, literally. We don't have any logbooks so we can drive as much as we can. This meant my homelife become nothing, destroyed my relationship with my high school girlfriend who I thought I was going to marry and three others after. I can attest that you hit the spots on that dead on. I really appreciate all the heads up on getting my class A. My current boss does both box trucks and flatbed and ill be getting on with him for a while, just that 'in' you were saying. He even wants to get an OTR contract for me. However this is the third company I've been with, and the other two were absolutely horrible. Terrible bosses, managers, contracts. Finally came back here and im staying. Thank you for the upload!

I always wanted to drive a truck since I was little. My grandpa drove OTR through the 70's up into the late 80's when he found a local company and stayed there until he passed in 96. Turned 21 in 2002 but ended up doing whatever in a miserable time for work in my early life. Things got better and in 2011 got hired on at Daimler Trucks in NC and now I build Freightliners. Working there has given me a life I thought I'd never have. Hope to one day be able to drive OTR but following advice that many truckers on here give, I think I'll wait until my children are older and talk my wife into team driving.

I feel ya bro I can’t sleep unless I’m in my truck sad but try stay safe brother love ya truck

Life is funny. I don’t believe in luck or coincidence. Whether or not there is some pre ordained path embedded in the ether or not, our path is laid out by a constant series of choices. Literally millions of your choices brought you to this point. Something a seemingly inconsequential as choosing a different truck stop that day or taking a few extra minutes here or there and your life would be totally different and you probably don’t have this channel and I’m not sitting here typing this and looking forward to your next video. Anyway I will shut up now. Great video. Thanks for speaking truth and thanks to you and all the other truck drivers out there for doing what you do.

im one of the few that would give anything to drive over the road truck but i cant do to my health. love watching your videos. my dteam truck is a 379 Pete, best looking truck on the road. be safe, keep the shiny side up.

Your welcome 🙏 and congratulations 🎊🎉 on the 20k subs.! 👋

Not sure how I ever came across your video’s about a week ago. I am not a truck driver but, love the video’s, beautiful truck! I have a buddy who has a peterbilt who does not wear his boots in his truck either,lol. New sub here buddy👍🏻 thanks for keeping America going🙌🏻
