Trucker's Life Part 17

[shoxrux93]

hey Vince 1Q...what happens when u arrive at ur destination early?..will they still let you unload and get benefits or they make u wait?...NYCE vids by the way!!!!!!!!!!

[umadbro201182]

brother "93" isnt warm lol. Fort Worth texas gets about 110. 93 is kinda cool for us here in Texas lol! Love the vids!

[onyostomach]

man ur great now i kinda kno wat to expect

[MrJayman369]

Whats ur trucking company called......im interested

[alarmkid66]

lol 12 30 am wow sun came out early 

[texas221]

thats funny thats down south out west would be CA,WA,AZ,NV,OR

I am a truck driver and really enjoy it but its not for everyone

[TheDavidjr2011]

To Uphold my fathers honor who is ofcourse a trucking veteran, I have dicided to also become a trucker and take pops along with me..... :)

[Protrucker24]

you went thru texarkana texas i 30 eastbound thats my home town

[fungieguy465]

Looks like a gorilla on that bike at intro beginning...

[alpineace2003]

Try and get a 34 hr reset up in Snoqualmie, WA. Best place to listen to the slow rain on a quiet truck to sleep by.

Nice video.

[MrBasilGanglia]

Do you get paid for miles when you have to go pick up a load? Say you drop in Chicago and then they want you to drive to Louisville, do you get paid for the empty miles? Thanks, and I can't wait for more videos. They are well done. Nice camera, what kind, and also what do you use as a tripod in the cab?

[journey95]

@MrBasilGanglia Hi, I get paid for Empty and Loaded miles

[MrBasilGanglia]

@journey95 Thank you. I am looking forward to your latest video. I think we are all wondering if you left the trucking industry or if you are just tired of doing the video show? You seemed like a very good trucker who enjoyed your job. You did a fantastic job on your videos.

[goblincamper2004]

Watching your videos makes me just want to be on the road again. One question for you. Are you married? If so it sure makes it difficult to be on the road all the time with family at home. If you aren't it isn't that bad to be an over the road truck driver. Trucking just gets in your blood. Once you've done, its hard to leave it. The open road beckons you.

[bowlingballhead]

Man, look at all that work you do that you don't get paid for. Ouch. I got my CDL last year through a community college, but finished it up right around the time the economy tanked, not too mention that the area I live in doesn't have much of a freight base. Needless to say, I didn't get a driving job, but when I watch some of these videos and realize how much time and work you guys put in, only to not get paid for half of it, I don't feel so bad about not getting hired.

Thanks for the vids

[thewun1]

Hey do you sleep at regular times? Just curious if you could include in your vids the time of day you do everything

[pookspop]

hope to be driving within about 6 weeks. hope i can keep a positive attitude like you. please for all truckers. whats your secret? think of your answer like a public service announcement . got my permit and cant wait to get on the road.thanks for your great videos and professional attitude you do trucking a real service. keep it up.

[journey95]

@pookspop Thanks, Take Care

[jesusonXTC]

@journey95 Hey bro, I need an honest opinion, all jokes aside! i'm 22 years old and i'm a college graduate and i have had no fucking lock finding a job with this degree other then shiity minimum wage jobs. I was thinking of paying 6 grand to go to a trucking school. is it worth it? will i get full time hours right away? i'm 22 years old and i dont have a fmaily, i was wondering if trucking will get me through to get myself a down payment on a house and lease a car.

[OIFveteren]

@jesusonXTC Dude Don't waste the money on a trucking school, if you don't have to. Find a company to put you through their trucking school. Then work for them and the training is free. Money wise, that is up to you. The more money you want to make the more miles you have to drive. I recommed renting a tiny place that is really cheap while you drive since you'll be home so little and don't blow your money and you should come out pretty good.

[jesusonXTC]

@OIFveteren thanks bro appreciate it, means a lot

[Sauron767]

@OIFveteren

lol conway and swift require a permit idk about CRE but i know swift and con way require a permit lol dont know why but they do xD

[OIFveteren]

@Sauron767 yeah some companies Are pretty stupid like that. I know Prime Inc will get everything for you, and I think Werner will too. But in all honosty I wouldnt go with a big ass company like that anyways. I got my CDL through a Community College and got a job with a guy who only has like 7 trucks. Never short of miles or loads and I am not just tied down to one thing, I can haul cattle, refer, pnuematic tanks, or flatbed. It is a better life in a smaller company from what I can tell.

[Mr007jessejames]

@pookspop whats the secret use your mirrors and alway come out straight with truck!!!

[MegaBrooki]

WoW!! The American Dream, Coast to Coast with the Hammer Down...

Love the video's, i've watched all from start - finish...

[journey95]

@MegaBrooki Thanks for the comment

[BigBoyO56]

@journey95 I notice you have a TV your truck is it wireless? Does it come with the truck?Or do you have to buy it your self.If You do were would I buy one???

[journey95]

@BigBoyO56 I bought the T.V. myself .It has a digital tuner on it. So where ever I am I can pick up some channels

[BigBoyO56]

@journey95 Thank's

[fj9fl]

[beerrunner81]

Your videos are the best I have seen, keep up the good work. They tell the story of what our life is like. Please let them know what kind of hours we put in and the rest, you know what I mean. A full day of a trucker, boring parts and all. Thx

[beerrunner81]

Man am I ever sick of the long haul BS. 15 years and I'm thinking of packing it in. All the long and nutty hours and all the unpaid work we do. I'm tired of it all. It was fun in the old days but not anymore.

[fl35m]

Great videos.

[BubblesandWine]

these are great videos, educational and gives a person insight as to what the life is like out there on the open road.....Be safe out there! Thank you for all your time and efforts that make these videos possible...God Bless

[journey95]

Thanks, I try to make my videos as realistic as possible.

[Billsk8s]

Vince, How many miles you get a week it seems to me you do ALOT of the north east, and stay east of I 35, If you dont have a family you may make better running west. Just an idea

[roxetterc747]

This is really great! Continue posting out this great stuff!

[journey95]

thanks

[truckin4u79]

Vince thanks for making my day. My husband is a trucker and is gone right now. This helped me see what he does and goes threw. I go out with him time to time and would love to know what type of camra you use. Can't wait to see this months. Be Safe

[journey95]

Glad my videos can help.

[780VolvoVn]

I watched all your video and they are great I just wanted to know if you were gonna make more of them

[journey95]

Yes, I am working on my next one now.

[roxetterc747]

Great! Cant wait to see it! :)

[butch3100]

cool!! keep truckin on. Ireally enjoy the vids

[journey95]

Thanks

[DazB78]

Excellent video vince. You really get the life of a truck driver cross to people. Really sucks you have to pay sombody to re-stack your pallets over here in the u.k they just talk to us like idiots then leave us in a corner to do it ourselves! lookin forward to your next vid. Take care.

[Alastair6]

Yeh, ditto the last comment. I really enjoy your videos so keep 'em comin'. Be safe.

[journey95]

Thanks

[NterstateProduction]

Great Videos. Done watched all of them. Looking forward to the next one. Keep on truckin driver.

[journey95]

Thanks

[27fodder]

been watching your videos for sometime and I wanted to be a trucker for a long time but I get bad migraines that I think would prevent me from doing it do many truckers get those? Well keep on going cause I live my trucker life thru u. Later

[journey95]

Glad you enjoy my videos

[MIKEL0352]

I really like your videos, you should show the side of trucking that doesnt get published. It should start off with calling your dispatcher and asking for directions to a shipper or cons. and they talk to you like a child. Then move onto the rude customers and how about the lot lizards waking you up at 3 am wanting to pleasure you......trucking...what a love hate relationship

[critzeraaron]

im thinking about become a trucker and watching your vids makes me want to get out there

[journey95]

Thanks for the compliment

[macedonijab]

happy new year and have a nice trip

hello from macedonia

[franksg384]

Keep 'em coming thru 2010 too! Hope you have a great New Year, and thanks for all the help and awesome videos this year. Hopefully, I can join you out there someday, and maybe we can meet up for dinner!!! haha!

[journey95]

Thanks, Happy New Year

[north5880]

Vince, I have enjoyed watching your 17 "the open road" videos this year in 2009! You let us in on what truck drivers have to go through daily with the driving and the shipping from place to place. Love the fun dance music you play in the background such as DJ Tiesto and some trance artists. Have a Happy New Year in 2010!

[journey95]

Thanks

[Hobgoblin1975]

I know I shouldnt but I always feel like I am cheating if I dont drive the full 11 hours. Seem to me its better to drive as much as you can while you can that way if later if you can not drive as much because your sick or something, most of the work is done.

[AlexisOreokastro]

nice vids. but why dont you have european trucks in america? i like them more. any whay be safe greeting from greece

[J73086]

How much money can a new driver expect to make the first year? Does the pay get better with experience?

[cocountryboy10]

Vince, great videos! I have been off the road for awhile, but after watching your videos, I am getting back out there. I am actually going for a drive test this afternoon here in Colorado Springs. I hope that we can meet up sometime for a cup. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Be safe out there and Happy New Years!!

[journey95]

Thanks  ,HAPPY NEW YEAR

[wwwtruckergeorgecom]

Enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work.

[RobWilsonII]

Another great Trucker's Life episode.

[Newfieguy89]

As always Vince, another great episode. Your adventures are always interesting. I so agree with you on the truck parking. Here in Ontario Canda they are closing all of the service centres (sort of like truck stops) for re-vamping...but that could take up to 3-4 yrs to get them all done. Just makes me shake my head!! Where are drivers suposed to park when all the stops are full!! Take Care and stay safe out there!

[PaintKid]

Hey man love the Vids. Wanted to drive truck all my life.. finally geting into school next year... Stay safe out there!
