To most people that want to be negative and tell me my Pre -Trip was terrible. I performed Maintenance on my truck the Day before I recorded this video. If it’s such a big deal I can show you guys what a real pre-trip looks like in the next video.
I drive a Chevy Sonic as my daily, it get 38 mpg which is important since my big truck sits 58 miles from my home and I have to drive to it daily. I do the same thing, park my little car in the space to hold it for my truck when I get back in the middle of the night. We park at a little diner.
my deepest respect for all truckers. This people know how to really work for a living. Thank you for what you do to transport goods that we easily pick up at local retailers.
hopefully now people finally appreciate what truckers do. don't be greedy, let them over. truckers are a vital part of what's keeping the world going right now.
marshie1337 I respect semi drivers immensely. But I’m not blind to the fact that I have had MANY situations where I HAVE been run off the road and nearly ran off the road from said truckers. Some are great and others suck. It’s a part of life. I’ll do what I can to accommodate them but I won’t hold them on a pedestal.
I am only 12 and I am already thinking about getting my CDL when I turn 18. And these truck videos from u and other people and watching everything in and how stuff works in the trucks makes me think about more and more every single day Make me want to do to it more
This and other videos like a rabbit eating a watermelon, a cat trying to fit through a hole that gets smaller everyday, and a guy detailing dirty cars are why I am not dead from boredom!
I prefer the point-of-view including the steering wheel rather than closer to the hood. I like to see the gauges, steering and most of all the shifting.
My dad use to drive. I remember he brung my brother and I one time and he left us inside the truck , inside a building, with no ac on. Im 37 and was probably about 25-30 yrs ago. He was hauling coils of steel to Murray Ohio in Lawrenceburg Tennessee. I still have a love for the smell of diesel. That is some of the best sleep I've ever had , in the bed of a truck. Edit: it was mid summer when he left us and we literally almost died.
Callahan Talks they have more work hours than any job and now they’re being denied working extra as well. The trucks are extremely expensive to maintain and it’s getting worse with these new unreliable semi trucks, and old trucks getting banned in some states. Considering all the money they have to put in, no, they don’t get much back. Company workers have it worst I think because they don’t make their own schedule, and get paid a lot less. In the end it pays off because they don’t wear down their own trucks but the freedom isn’t there. You also don’t get to come home often. They regularly take trips that last more than a month.
Trucker AK if he is looking for a better paying job he would go to an interview and interviewers ask questions like that all the time to get a feel for how they drive and what they are used to. So his joke actually makes sense. Don’t need to ridicule everyone on the internet lol
But if you drive 40 hours a week in a huge truck it’s probably very normal for them to have smaller agile cars because why would you want to drive a truck all week long then get into a huge pickup truck if you think about it it makes sense lol
It is different in real life and much harder job then any truck sim in some ways better some worse i say look into it more and if you really think you can do it save up about 9k and get your CDL or you can go train with a company
@@protatort6345 I worked for UPS for 10ish years, was certified for package cars and if I wanted to go for CDL they would have paid for it. Dang never knew it was so expensive.
@@farwoodfarm9296 yea its not hard to train with a company there is just more to consider thats how i got mine i trained with CFI for free if i stayed for 6 months
Man how do you keep the floor of your truck so clean? I'm always dragging in dirt even when I'm extra careful not to That coupled with my dog and I'm vacuuming the corners every other night.
I love watching people drive semi's bc they turn real hard I like that. And it's my first time watching you but I'm already loving your vids keep up the great work
When i saw the Smart at the beginning i was like "This is probably just another european trucker" and then i heard you speaking and thought you were 100% american. Until you spoke in bosnian... :DDD I was so confused throughout the video
Nice I like how you padlock the button because that is the main button to make the truck move because anyone can steal your truck I like how you padlock it.
pleasurewasmine OTR SUCKS LOL I WORK FOR STEVEN TRANSPORT MAN ITS REALLY TIRING. I DIs 1 year and 2 months before I switch to local company it’s fun but stressing
I know this may not be heard very often but thank you so much for what you do. Truly, truck drivers are the backbone of how we get and send supplies for almost every store, online shopping spree, etc across America. My grandfather was a truck driver and the stories he has are truly incredible. Thank you for what you do.
i turn the tablet off every time i leave the truck parked for the night and go home so when i come back and turn it on its still got some battery to it
Gena Don they still work with the ignition off. Trucks have 4 batteries and some have tri-packs which is a little Diesel engine that charges the batteries or the truck will start it’s self up to charge them. I’ve had an investor in all my trucks and can keep the fridge on charge my phone all night without a problem
You go from smart car to truck! That is amazing two totally different rides! I don't think it could get anymore different! The turbo on the truck is nearly bigger than the cars engine. You should line the car and truck up at the front get a picture! Just for size comparison! Also cleaver how you leave the door open so you don't reverse over it.
@@vincentwinters566 no I don't have a truck for real but I pick stuff up real fast! Please don't get the vaccine bro is most important thing I can say right now to you!
lonley lettuce I once did a 10 hour day where my tractor didn’t do over 10 mph because of the bumpy fields. I then jumped on my m/cycle and was doing 90mph in about 8 or 9 seconds leaning that sucker over on a smooth but winding road. Contrast like that can be intoxicating.
It's more like you get used to driving a big ass truck all day long, then you get in your car and you end up taking turns super wide, waiting for huge gaps in traffic before making turns, and chill in the slow lane. My parking has also gotten really bad in my car >.
Its not that many if you think about it 2 4 speed boxes on top of each other,with every gear having a half gear (which you dont have to use all the time) Match revs and youre golden
@@ogreezie858 if ur looking for more room or bigger vehicle the challenger rt is good but reliability and faster amd etc the mustang is better but of course cant really carry people in the back unless they are short
@@jcherrax Yea I’ve always been a mustang guy. Very nice cars and brand .. I only want a challenger for the look and design if I’m gonna be honest hahah. Yea I do like both.
- The condition and pressure of wheels - Utilities (tools and necessary components for the job etc.) - Oil, Fuel and Coolant - Overall outside condition of truck and carriage (don't know the exact name in English, not a native speaker) - Truck and Carriage coupling - Brakes - Lights These are the main points which I used to check before trucking. European trucks are different so these American style long beak trucks are a new thing even to me but I really like the simple old school style of these trucks because you can get to the engine super easily, with European trucks you have to tip the whole cabin so that you can check the engine which is why it's checked rarely.
I love the perspective of the GoPro. As someone with a 4 door sedan, it's really cool seeing a truck driver's POV. It helps me have a perspective of what you see and how I should behave around you. Also the interface of your rig is interesting.
Tell more of what it's like in your daily routine. Switching out trucks cargo the traffic on the road. For those of us who are thinking about being a truck driver but don't know the rops.
Will do I’ll make a new video recording a whole trip how it goes and such but with traffic it’s a hit or miss sometimes honestly just the luck of the draw but glad to see your interested
Well what I know from my dad and not seeing him often. But one thing I know is that your schedule is sometimes like let’s say a 4 year old’s scribbles but a little because my dad delivers produce (potatoes,strawberries,lettuce,mostly potatoes)so they have lift up the trailer to unload it and sometimes he has to wait for trucks or the plant is running slow so he could be there for 6 hours or more but yeah a truckers schedule is kinda bonkers well looking at my dads schedule it’s sometimes bonkers.But you do stay away from home often Edit:I go on trips with him sometimes since I was 4 so I kinda know but I’m not a trucker but wish to be for some time then be railroad engineer for Union Pacific bcuz I love trains and trucks but yeah I go on trips and he does long haul like Denver Oregon,places far away buts it not your typical 9 to 5
@@caricature1997 Semi can be used preferably as a slang term that people use ( Class 7-8 tractor/trailer trucks). Semi (means semi-trailer, which is a trailer that generally has back axles and only back axles, in which the front is supported by the (truck). A semi truck
11:00 What language are you speaking? It almost sounds Bosnian but then I see that you were driving in the states which really threw me for a loop. 13:30 Righto, answered my question there.
i know is old video but ppl the TRUCK DRIVERs feed u dont forget it ! if they stop u starving no food ! 👍 keep the good work man from bulgaria and be safe !
Just interesting that you didn’t do a brake check, or tug check, not when you were doing a walk around on your pre trip that you didn’t do a light check (headlights, hazard lights) Drive safe driver
@@Gator_Daddy985 Some people have dreams. You cant go against your own dream, or you will end up like one of those old guys telling how they regret everything they did and tell you to live for yourself and not listen to anyone. You can quit any time if you dont like the style of life.
@@Gator_Daddy985 im a truck driver for fuel i drive T&T i love it if ppl wanna try it encourage them bro. If they still like it wont be time wasted if he doesnt then he can always get out
The reason he has a small car it’s mostly cuz the yards the we park the truck is full of pot holes dirt mud etc, he mostly uses that car to beat the shit out of it lol
So from the very, very limited experience i have with trucks, im gonna base all of this on a (i think) 2019 Volvo. 1. The soundsystem is ridicuolously good. Like, better than my BMW´s Harman system-good. 2. without a Trailer, they feel insanely zippy for their size and if you get on it, it honestly sounds amazing.
Why do I love this video so much then the rest and the nigh dashboard looks so cool and you get a feeling like your sitting n a monster truck luv your vids btw ❤️💯
