You Want To Be A Truck Driver? Watch This First... 

That's for sure

its part of the job dum dum

Good.. dude works half days most of the time

On my soul they have

😂😂😂 he got what he wanted now it’s time to get you to do wgst we wanted type shit

Exactly very rarely do I use google maps unless I want to know how long il get to my destination. Otherwise il mainly trip plan and use my truck GPS

I use Google maps every day lol

@@xianshengzhengxiong ok keep using it. When you get stuck in an underpass don’t say I didn’t warn you.

​@gabrielrivera658 you can set it up to avoid bridges tolls.

Truckers path babyyyy

The cars are always trying to do something and that’s a fact. lol I’ve noticed there’s literally always something else

Lmao.. Ikr I assume he's just super nervous because he kept saying that and because of the humming

Sounds like you are a great driver! Keep up the great work! Got some good tips from you, the main one is never give up. Especially loved the make eye contact, that’s saved me more than once.

Ever hear the term "button hole"?

I agree I use that method of driving too and it’s made a huge difference

I've learned that also when you drive nice you get ignored in a semi truck you have to move your weight around 😂

The closer you get to their car, the bigger they realize you are, the more respect they give you.

It’s against GP transco’s policy to blindside without guidance.

@@Solitaryman70 Shutup square

Maybe better trip planning

@@Solitaryman70 I worked for GP, I don't recall that policy. I blindsided when needed. I just got out and looked.

Anyone wanna tell me what blindsiding is

My first time in Chicago city had me trying to cram a 53' trailer in a 48' hole when the 53's were first getting popular. Leg gives out from all the clutch work and required short breaks to stop the leg shake.

O my, crazy 😊

Like fr I swear every year they make the trucks less and less reliable

That’s because PACCAR is junk. Ever since they bought peterbilt and kenworth it’s no better than a Mack now.

Last year my company gave me a brand new 2023 Freightliner, around 5,000 miles the check engine light came on lol

Tbh it’s a hit or miss with any brand now days

Peterbilts are s*** and my Peterbilt for my company is made of chewing gum bubble wrap and tape stuff's falling off of it. Engine light comes on. It's a f****** disaster

Respect. I'm sure it used to be much harder.

❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also truck lover, you sound interesting.

As a guy born into the age of GPS I always have so much respect for guys who had to get around without it. You couldn’t get me to make a 20 min drive without a GPS! Haha. Hats off to you.

Absolutely 💯

omg don't let him in NYC

When I started driving my first load was Memphis, TN to LA.

Chicago is horrible. The suburbs almost worse

@@anthonylagunas6737 Random question for you. When I have been travelling east-west in Arkansas toward Memphis, I noticed a whole lot of trucks rotating leader/drafter. When travelling north-south in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri I have not seen much of that. The problem is trucks pass other trucks with about a 1mph difference in speed. All these drafting rotations completely clogged up east-west Arkansas. Why is there so much of this drafting and rotation in Arkansas in particular, and as a Honda driver that goes 85mph (in dry conditions) what can I do about trucks in the fast lane moving 1mph faster than the slow lane? I wish speed limits would say "DRY: LEFT: 85 MAX, 75 MIN, RIGHT: 70 MAX, WET: SUBTRACT 10, ICE: SUBTRACT 20" and "LEFT LANE FOR PASSING ONLY, FEDERAL LAW". There would be some ambiguity when changing lanes from a max 70 to a min 75 but I don't think that would be an issue. I know this would never happen because speed limits are a game and revenue generator so they can post 65mph on dry sparse roads and claim "safety" for the purpose of lowest common denominators and abnormal conditions and ticket people doing perfectly safe 80mph

I love watching 👀 this from my warm bed 🛏️ 💻with NO responsibilities 😊

Honestly bro. That's the only reason i watch this channel

I was a first responder and always helped out the truckers get to their destinations easier. All of them were lost because of their GPS. It's a great tech for most navigational needs but once you get into the inner cities and the restrictions that come with it, it can really make things more difficult.

Wrong.. Google maps satellite view and zooming in and seeing the locations before rolling in is the most important tool. Problem is most newbs don't know what to look for. I wouldn't use it for rolling gps tho, that is what you get the dedicated truck gps for.

Same here, have even broken the metal band ones with a gloved hand. Cable and bolt seals is when I got the bolt cutters out 😮😊

😅😂😮

Thats what im saying

But he sure does keep them on the majority of his videos

Same I’m going to school this Monday that’s coming g up

Why intrastate

@@Xv1p3rCr0 people under 21 only have the option doing interstate

Honestly i havent seen any job listing that hires intrastate drivers...every company wants you to be either 21 or 25 yrs old ...might be some but probably cdl B

@@Xv1p3rCr0 there’s interstate and local near me

In NYC had one of these situations to get loaded. The forklift operator brought out a hand jack and put it in the trailer, then he brought out the pallets. He would place them on the tail and I would roll them into position in the trailer. The place was called Bell's Bagels 🥯 😊

Plastic truck; what do u expect? 😂😂

@@sykeyzzyou still couldn’t afford one

@sykeyzz bro I don’t know many people that can afford brand new trucks

Why you don’t get it ?

I mean, it’s not an impossible thing to start doing, (I’m 17 so don’t quote me on this) you’d need a CDL but I’m pretty sure for just starting out if you were to work for some company that they would supply you with a truck so long as you knew how to drive it and were also allow to drive it

@@branleyprevil3110 who are you talking to?

​@@plaer3547Are you slow. Obviously he is talking to the original comment that you commented under about the individual that said they are jealous and wish they could do this job

@@fullrigormortis3684 we need to put you in the fridge because you need to chill out, it ain’t that deep

Amazon is shit the contractors pay dirt, 23-25 is avg Amazon pay, should have still gotten your license to take it elsewhere.

Verbal directions are a lot harder to follow than visual directions Well it depends on what point of the video you were talking about

No, you used to be able too, these days, hell no. The amount of times you may get lucky wont make up for all the rest of the bs. from it. Google maps satellite zoom down to street level is the best. Newbs just wont know what to look for the most.

Pre-trip your route not just your truck. He should have known the best way to enter his delivery before getting there. Lots of wasted drive time.

Yeah, right. Who wants a driver who gets to his destination safely without smashing anything?

there's more to driving than safety. First of all he's lost, second he went down a street that said no trucks. 2nd he wasn't sure of the overpass and if it was a low bridge. 3rd I can't stand his little bitching/moaning at every car that gets near him. 4th did you see I used "2nd" twice?

I am not a truck driver. But all he does is complain for 909k subs. Give him a CDL and a months training and he is a expert driver@@DoubleDsDeliveries

I’m surprised GP Transco supports this nonsense, 75% of everything he says or does is wrong in every video 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's recorded on the bills.

That's too much. We just use flashers

WHAT IS EXPLECANT AND WHY ARE WE YELLING? IDK BUT I LIKE IT

DID WE FIND OUT WHY HES YELLING??

NO BUT WE STILL LIKE IT

@@ethancolella4146 I'M PRETTY SURE HE'S JUST SUPER EXCITED ABOUT WHATEVER EXPLECANT IS

YES DISPATCHERS NEED TO DO THEY JOB. BETTER DIRECTIONS WOULD BE NICE.

Its not that uncommon for a driver to stop and re-asses his/her route. As long as you are stopped with brakes set and hazzards on in a safe spot you should be fine. Its worse to turn down a street that you are unsure of and cause damage to property or your own vehicle or be stuck.

​@@jacksonsparrow8865True but he had not set his brakes, so therefore he was at the controls finger fucking his phone, which is against FMCSA regulations.

❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also truck lover, you sound interesting.

😂Best comment ever hope he reads it😂

Yes can result in a very expensive visit by the po po 😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes you can, but sometimes the people there don't know the correct truck routes so you have to be careful. Have run into this going to different places in NYC and on Long Island.

Shippers can help but ultimately it is your responsibility to know what ways are safe / pay attention to make sure the routes are actually good. It comes with experience I can look at satellite and usually fairly quickly figure out where to go

From my experience, 1) It's usually hard to get ahold of someone, especially if they're not manning the phones 24/7 and you don't have advanced notice of where you're going at least the day before. But any listed numbers are usually not answered anyways at any hour. 2) A lot of companies don't want drivers contacting the customer directly, but to go through the company instead. This can take too long to get a response and sometimes someone from my company drops the ball and doesn't get back to me. But usually whoever from my company is trying to contact them can't get ahold of anyone either. 3) If you can get ahold of someone then often they don't know. It's good if they are aware they don't know and tell you that. Sometimes they tell you the way they get there in their car, thinking it would be truck safe, but not realizing that there's not enough room for trucks to turn or a truck restricted road etc.

❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also truck lover, you sound interesting.

Not like he knows every street in the world. Sometimes you need to use your resources. Dang he’s a 2 year driver. Specifically at customers things happen that you can’t trip plan for

I can't believe this guy uses Google Map. All he does is whine.

Everyone gets annoyed because he's aiming for the non-drivers/steering wheel holders for views (also probably a part of his contract with this lame company) but uses click-bait titles about being an actual "truck driver"...I don't even call myself a "trucker", I just drive one for a living and go home at the end of the day (haul fuel in LA) but damn this makes all of us cringe who can drive a truck without creating drama at every little hiccup
