I’m in my 3rd week of cdl school and your content helps me to remain calm about what lies ahead. I don’t feel like my school is covering all the bases but regardless I know it’s up to us drivers to study and learn the tricks and techniques of maneuvering these 70’ beasts.
Hi Bria greetings from Florence, Italy. I'm a truck driver too! have a nice week, idk if you're on holiday or not. Watching your videos is so relaxing, it's so nice to see someone who does a job similar to mine (daily trucking) in USA! May I just suggest something? I think you should buy a mic, that would increase the audio quality, and...have you ever thought to put the camera on that glass between the seats? I think it would give a more complete view of what you're doing, especially when backing. Sorry to bother you. Bye!
I am a yard dog and that guy was definitely new and it was cool of you to help him. You helping the first yard guy gave you good karma which maybe lead to the other yard guy being cool about parking your trailer for you later on, haha. Great video as always.
Ngl working at Amazon, especially being a part of TDR for 3 years was in my opinion the best and most stressful experience I’ve had. Backing up trailers and unlocking/ locking docks was the best thing I’ve done in my career portfolio. They are one of the hardest workers in a warehouse
The 3 day work week really interest me! I was wondering if you still get benefits working 3 days a week and what the pay is like? I like your videos! Keep up the great work!
Love the videos. Thats really rare that a Yard Jockey would help you cause the places I go to never would do that. You have to do it on your own or they will not accept the load. Spot looks tough but it can be done, and will just take time. Never rush to dock a trailer and I have been in tough spots myself. Just takes time and patience to get it done
Hi Bria , I just simply love your videos , how you connect with your followers, etc...quick question, do those trucks have cameras? I'm hoping to join the Amazon truck driving local as well...and you make it so exciting...thank you for being so wonderful ❤️
a like on the video, from a subscriber from brazil. I'm learning English I like the world of transport. thank you for producing this content full of information.😊
What part of California do you drive in? I plan on moving out there and I already have a Amazon relay contract. I am just trying to see if it is worth it and if the load are there
I had a post office run in Memphis downtown with a small space from dock to fence it was fun it was a learning experience lol wait till ya do it in a 379 peterbilt possible yes tricky you bet but its doable that was when i drove for werner long time ago
Hey Bria! thanks for your vids! I am just doing research currently, but can you share which job portal you used for applying to Amazon as a local driver? Having trouble finding opportunities in my area. Thx!
14:18 Looks hot inside the cab. Stay hydrated, drink water! The sky their looks orange. Over on the east coast we’ve had orange haze almost all August. Day before yesterday we actually had a day where the sky was actually dark blue.. you could notice it!
Hi Bria I like your videos, its good job🎯, "Blind side" in mastering any new skill🧑🎓, by repetition, and remembering some milestones🚧, good results will come🏁 Let us keep rolling 🛣super windy hair😉
Hey bria hope all is well, ...doing blindside backing made me a better operator I think, once I my brain computed my width, length and hights of my unit I became one with it, I have no troubles backing semi units anywhere in other words with all the troubles I was having maneuvering I woke up one morning and everything just clicked, fell into place so to speak, now I'm one of the best operators in the world...lol, there was once a time where I would try and find a place to turn around so not to do a blindside back in now my confidence allows me to just do it and the praise I got from warehouse workers has to be the best feeling ever more so then delivering the load itself I hope you wake up one morning and the same thing happens to you, although iv gone back to logging where we dont do much backing i know i can go back to 53ft trailer set ups and have no problems because a bird never forgets to fly...hehe, thanks for sharing your experience much love trukie from New zealand❤⁸7
Wow thank you for sharing! Very interesting on how it all clicked for you. I am so happy for you that you are confident with doing blindsides now! I’ve only done a handful of them at this point and they are tricky sometimes, even when getting out to look. I wish you the best of luck moving forward with your trucking journey!
Thankyou my friend, to all who are just starting out build your confidence first and then your skills will fall into place that's not to say to do a blindside back in from the main rd or busy with peak hour traffic rd...lol😂, to be honest I would go to a place do a blindside back in and get it in in one go, the next day I go back to the same place and it takes me 50 goes😒 that's overconfident, hope you and your husband get your own truck and start living the dream, something I'm working towards atm, all the best looking forward to your next video, cheers🙂
Hey john After many years of spotting trailers I was able to do the math on the fly as you do. I believe a drone launched from the truck could create a solution for the truck. Blind side backing may be the first problem addressed as this technology advances. Hands free backing. Thanks to Bria for bringing this subject up!
Hi Bria, schönen Gruß aus Deutschland von einem " Husler, Hossler", keine Ahnung wie man das schreibt! Bei uns heißt das Rangierer. Nett von dir, ihm zu helfen, er ist wahrscheinlich noch neu in dem Job. Interessant für mich, zu sehen wie ihr Amerikaner das macht. Bleib Gesund!
Hey Bria I just got my Class A with tanker endorsement permit. I was wondering after I finish my trucking school in a few weeks from now if Amazon hires right out the gate or if u need more on the road experience first
They hired me on with about 6 months of experience but they may hire you right out of school and give you more training. It depends where you are located.
That wasn't even a challenge you did it so quickly 😜 Also thank you for getting out and helping instead of just sitting there filming hoping for a screw-up so you get laughs on bonehead.
I was otr for a year and it was not easy I had some pretty hard places to back one time it took me an hr but in the end I was proud of my self bc I did it without any help
Hi Bria my name is William from Baltimore Maryland I have done alot of years locally driving and blind side backing I could do it better than driver side backing some time. When I drove sleeper I had to do it too.
Hi Bria, I like what are you doing .how can foreigner with tracking permit from his country get a CDL class A in California at the first year USA ? If is it easy or no in Amazon?
It feels like they repurposed a warehouse meant only for box trucks. It's really weird to see facing docks like that meant for anything bigger than a box truck.
What would keep the Yard Jockey from Parking your Trailer since this 3rd Party Vendor failed to give you a Shoe Horn to get you Backed into your Ridiculous Spot ?
No I am not a truck driver I enjoy watching these shows the only other female truck driver I watch is Paquita 153 from Brazil I don’t know whether you have heard of her or watched any episodes still I enjoy watching the shows seems like it could be a bit harrowing keep it up.
I get what you’re saying haha. I believe it was designed for box trucks and the vendors started taking loads for bigger trailers. Still not a good idea!
Wouldn’t you Like to Meet the Genius 🤪 who Designed this Facility so you could see if his Brain 🧠 was the Size of a Pea ? Maybe he Never heard of 53’ Trailer. 🤪👎
Hello, sisters and brothers, I am a Moroccan driver of a large truck, and I ask you for help. I want work in America or Canada, and I ask for your help, please. ❤❤❤❤
I can not help you but interestingly i bought a new car 2 months ago and the finance manager(a woman)was from Morocco. First person I ever met from there
