Alright. Here's the feedback. Steve, this video was amazing. Why? it has nothing to do with the truck, or you. it simply has to do with the visual effects you used. Outstanding brother. What software did you use? I am seriously impressed. Very pro.
If your still thinking about doing this i just want you to know that trucking is not the happy go lucky job it used to be,that's why I'm posting all of this. As always, you do what you want but just be ready for reality when it comes knocking at your door!
with what it costs to survive out on the road your lucky to bring home $400. They fine you for anything,no parking places,everything in has gone up and it's only getting worse. Not to mention if they do mandate the paperless logs and speed limiters in ALL trucks then your pay will drop like a rock because you cant do enough miles to make a living. I love driving and miss it like crazy but until the industry and drivers change there is not way in hell i will ever go OTR agian!
@zLOSTNOMOREz ....I use paperless logs now, and my truck is limited to 66 MPH. If you keep the driver's door shut, and drive like a real trucker, you can knock off 600 miles a day. That is 3600 a week, if all goes well. I usually do about 2,500 a week, which pays me $1,150. after taxes, I have about $800 take home. I don't stop at truck stops 10 times a day like some guys do, which keeps me making money, and not spending it. It is a tough job, but strong people can do it.
@JimsTruckerTech Remember when,we could run the way we wanted without worrying about a $10k fine,when there was plenty of parking for everyone,when we could idle the truck to stay warm or cool,when U could eat a good meal for under $10,when people were respectful to each other,when you could run all week but be home on the weekend and still make good money? Those days are long gone! What UR making is not the norm and any newbi should not expect anything close to that unless,they never go home!
@zLOSTNOMOREz , Yeah, I am old enough to remember when being a trucker was more fun than anyone had a right to have. It has been poisoned, but is still better than going to some factory job, and spending 40 hours or more in the same building
@JimsTruckerTech ....strength has is limits. How long one drives a truck depends on how much screwing they can deal with,15 years was more than enough for me!
@zLOSTNOMOREz You are right. They do screw with you a lot, but you learn to adapt, and overcome. When you start out trucking, you have to take what is offered. If you go a year with no problems, the offers will get better, little by little. The problem is a lot of drivers get comfortable where they are, and stop climbing the ladder. I have fought long and hard to get to where I am, and it was not easy at all. I just want everyone to know it is possible, if you are dedicated, to make it work
Yes it's in my blood but trucking is not the way it used to be. In the last 5 years it's gone downhill,it's said. No 1 talks on the radio or at the T stops.People have gotten even more rude&trucking as a hole has gone from bad to worse! So after 15 yrs i gave it up. I have never had a ticket or wreck and yet companies still treated me like crap. So to anyone thinking about doing this.Don't buy into the hype U see on some of these Utube vids.
sweet6 vid man. i pull wrench on semi's now but as soon as i get my full licence and can get my class 1 (a) i think im leavin that business to drive its fer sure in my blood!
I'm only 15 years old, but my daddy, and his daddy was a truck driver, and ever since i was little iver always wanted to be a truck driver, just the feeling of being out on the open road calm and relaxed, truck stops, sleeping in the truck everything, its just amazing. So well, since my father and his dad where all truck drivers, i think its in my blood for me to be one. i love being out there with him. its simply incredible., im going out again for two weeks with him! keep on truckin!
dis is real man im 11 year old kid and its all i think about trucks trucks inter pro stars western star freightliner colombia centuri class cascadia the new one i can name you all the trucks
A very good vid...loved it! And your right...once it's in the blood, you can't get away. I've driven on and off for 15 years and now I'm getting ready to crawl back in a rig. I look forward to more vids.
I am after giving up on trucking few weeks back and thought of getting in to something else, now I'm seek of staying home, hope to be back on the road in next week or two;-)
A friend of mine completed his class A training and he got his cdl, but he decided not to do it for a living unless it was local. He told me he couldn't see himself with a trainer for 4-6 weeks(depending on company) living in a truck together. The problem he's having is most local driving jobs want some experience.
Better to get a educated job. Some Govt. Administration jobs make $720.000.00 per year. President Clinton retired earining a revenue of $7.3 million per year for life. Rather be a cop with respect than a trucker.
I hear you driver. I too have tried to leave the industry, I miss the road, and I miss the life. It has pulled me back in, and I am looking forward to it. If I could come back to May I would, but it's not happening... That being said, keep the shiny side up driver!
You ask a fat trucker is why the economy is so bad. You ask me Trucking don't amount to much. The factory pays the bills not a fat trucker. Maybe your whore will work the factory you fat trucker.
Hey Trucker Steve! Thought I'd let you know, for the past two weeks, I've been down here in Mira Loma, CA taking a class with CR England driving school. I'm to the point where we're driving across town, and Mon (tomorrow) we're starting the downhill procedure. So far, the class has been great. You get a laugh every day with these guys lol.. Everybody in the class has a handel already, and by wed or thurs, I should be over the road with my trainer for three months. Hope to hear back. Take care!
I love this video. My hubby and I ran long haul for 10 yrs and been away from it for a few years, but thinking of getting back to it...great video. and it is true, once in your blood always will be.
you know, people laugh about the whole trucking thing being in your blood thing, and i think they are retarded, i got into truck driving about 7 years ago, unfortunately it didn't last long because of issues i was having from the iraqi invasion. Ever since then, all i wanted to do is get back on the road. I have come to terms with things since then, and now, after all this time i am going through the process of getting back on the road.
AFTER 19JEARS OF TRUCK DRIVING I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE EVERIBODY ADVICE = GO BACK TO SCOOL AND FORGET THIS LOW PAYED AND RISKY JOB.IT IS WAIST OF TIME OF YOUR LIFE.THEY FOLOW YOU ON SATELITE AND PUSH YOU TO RUN,AND ON THE END OF MONTH YOU MUST ARGUE WITH THEM FOR ALL THINGS THEY DONT PAY..FORGET THIS ADD....THIS IS MY FRIENDLY ADVICE!!!
What is it about sleeping in a truck with no APU, brushing your teeth in a Pilots restroom, peeing into a bottle in the middle of the night and being on duty 14 days straight and only getting paid for 4 hours in a 24 hour period that is appealing? I have been away from the life for 2 years now but have a strong desire to climb back in a truck. I compare truckers to cowboys and bikers. The trail calls the cowboy like the open road calls to the trucker and the biker. I liked this video Steve.
hey i came off the road 10 years ago but thinking of going back. one question i have is about that no idling law do most guys sleep in cold sleepers now ? if so drivers get treated worse then inmates at a big house i think
I really liked the video. This job is all I have ever wanted to do, so I love when I can see that there are some people just like me! haha. Keep up the good work!
im a yard jockey, im so used to going backwards, not so sure about going forward. lol. goin for my cdl soon, i cant wait. i meet alot of truckers everyday, i envy the job you do and the balls it takes. great video, take care.
my nephew and i loves that was a great video, like big daddy tom said you really need to make another one like that, hey, make one a month like that and be the envy of kids 5 to17 and every one else!!! another episode"the adventure of future trucker"
great video im trying to get on at central refridgerated should find out monday when i can start school ill be a 4th generation trucker im pretty excited about it, cant say the same for my wife but watchin your videos finally made me decide i wanna drive truck. hope to see ya out there on the road one day
ever since I met my husband 13 years ago I love the trucks. Right now we are not on the road, but will be back to it in the next year.Thank god, cause I miss it.Besides the places we went, the people we met, we made good on some special weekends like in Niagra,Mexico and others.
People want to put the trucks down, but think about this....WITHOUT TRUCKS AMERICA STOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!
frist off i do like it . it kills me to set here and look at all the trucks goin down the road fuck it kills me but i think it a go thing your doin i am for it all the way big foot paul
I grew up with my father who was a trucker and dedicated to the roads for many years but is now passed on due to a tragic death he's missed very much. I may not be one myself being singl mom, but I know the love for the highway is strong and in my blood.
I havent even started driving I leave for school in 17 days but I wont shut up about it I want to thank you and all the rest who post these videos for giving me a heads up on what I can expect although my wife hates the idea of it it is weird it feels like I was meant to do this dont know if that makes any sense to anyone but anyways thanks brother and drive safe hope to meet you on the road one day dinner will be on me lol
Hello Steve God Bless. Nice Put Video. Keep Up Your Excellent Work. If Anytime You In New York City Look Me Up, I'll Treat You To Some Spanish Cuisine... Take Care And Be Safe.. Your Friend Onyx From Brooklyn New York... ;) Peace
HEY TRUCKER STEVE FIRST I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS.MY GIRL SAY WHY DO I WATCH THIS I TELL HER I JUST LOVE THE ROAD TRUCKS AND DRIVING.MY FATHER IS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR OVER 3OYEARS HIS FATHER MY GRANDPA TWO 48 STATES AND EVER SINCE I WAS A KID TRUCKS HAS BEEN MY PASSION IM GOING TO SCHOOL BUT IS NOT WORKING OUT IM 23 AND I WILL GET MY CLASS A A.S.A.P HOPEFULLY WE MEET UP MAN THAT WASH YOUR ASS SONG LICK ASS WELL MY NAM E IS JOHN LIVE IN LOS ANGELES CALI BE SAFE STEVE
Driving these water trucks in Arkansas, some times you got to make it go into gear. , but I am missing the open road. For now I must be content with this job, but most likley, down the road I will be O.T.R. again.
I get what you are saying in this video> I've been there and I am going right back to it. Great sound corregraph and video shots> I really like it and am right there with you.
@fitzergyzzmo the travel ops are great when you are youg however it is a very corrupted industry to work in. When I found 2+ years of experience wasn't getting me the desired local pay and the day shift I was looking for, I just went into other sectors of the workforce. Only problem when one does that, the trucking companies will look at that as an negative for exploring other career options making that 2+ years mean sqaut. That is what I mean by corrupted industry where xp is not credited.
Yes I tried to get away too but the road has a heartbeat and it seems to be in time with yours, it's out there calling your name like a lonely lover. The Road.
hey steve, just wanna say i appreciate what you do. i first started driving when i turned 21, for schneider national. watching your vids give me a place to escape to, it's like im in another world. i've been off the road now for about a year, and i'm going back the 23rd of this month for orientation. yes, trucking is in my blood. over half of my family members has driven a tractor trailer for most of their lives. hopefully, we will meet someday over the road. stay safe out there, brother.
20 years of driving over the road and let me tell you, it takes your body over! I have retired from driving and i still want to get back out on the road and hammer down and talk trash. My handle was one-step. Thanks brother,great video. One-step just waving a hand!!!
So I thought about getting back behind the wheel and said Yeah. I m only doing 16 hours aweek , 2 short runs ( about 350 mile round trip ) a week . No one else wanted this but it suits me just fine its just enough. Nice truck too ( its an old 2003 Nissan Diesel Big Sam -lovely machine , not many about here in UK ). So , anyhow , one way or another trucking has " called " me back . It just wont leave you alone!
Great vid Steve . I enjoy your vids. Ive been trucking on and off and doing other jobs for years ( some involving driving a truck as well as part of the job ) But trucking just seems to keep "finding" me and pulling me back. For last 3 yrs Ive been working from home ( I make Neon tubes , which is also my hobby ) Then month ago a trucking company I used to work for asked me if Id like to do a part time job that no one else wants ( they all want more hours ).
Good Video. If you keep coming back to where you were... Your probably in the RIGHT PLACE. Nearly 50 and kids finished school, I'm getting my licence in the next two weeks.
Time to change, I've been going in ever diminishing circles the last few years. Hoffa from Down Under (No relation to Jimmy)

yo!! steve your video"s are off the chain the editing is sick!! really,really good stuff.. you keep making them and i"ll keep watching them.. i started putting my friend's on to your video"s yo! steve i"m a trucker also. "stay safe out and stay in between the lines" LOL...
Hey Steve! Do those single rear wheels allow you the same load on your axles? And what's that shaft with the u-joint at 1:29? Does it come from the tranny?
@ Whitelinefilms - I'd love to work with you in any project that puts in a good light truck, the problem is that I do not speak English, because I use a translator online.If you think that is possible contact me !
So true,kinda wish I've never gotten into this industry. However,after being gone a while to finish and put closure to all of my off road business I'll be back out there again one day. To the old and new drivers heading out always remember if not anything else,protect your independent spirit,health,and that CDL. I don't know about the rest of you,but I want vengeance to what's been done to the industry I learned to love so much.
great video mate but when are yours not? and i think if you want to get out you are giving yourself a great chance with your video/editing work. excellent work you do.
to answer your question, its in the blood but it also comes down to doing what you know. i think a lot of guys would get out if they could but they dont know any different. myself on the other hand i love the job (except for the stupid shit) and dont see myself doing anything else though i have done my trade as a machinist.
this is a freakin awesome video! Trucker Steve, you never fail to make a good video. i've watched almost every one you have! there is only 2 i haven't watched and im gonna do that now =]
My grandpa was not only a trucker he owned his own logging company, so did my dad. I will probably do same. So I will probably be a 3rd gen logger/trucker.
I think i can say trucking is in your blood for the fact that i started driving them at 15 years of age. I am currently 16 and drive a truck decently without grinding, i can back up but most importantly i can take care of myself in the road. i know that takes years of experience but im getting there. So i think it is but some people are forced to because of the need for money and thats their last option. In my case, I WANT TO TRUCK!!!
As always, love your work bro, learn't something new too, you guys are running super single tyres on your tractor units, never knew that, may catch on here in europe soon...As for it being in your blood, yep, but i keep trying to get a transfusion......before it's to late !!! perhaps theirs a re-hab centre for coming off diesel........
Just a freightliner? What is wrong with that? This is a nice truck. I have operated just about every make of truck on the road and this one can hold its own. Cosmetics are for girls, man up.
I have to say that was honestlly a great video it was so out of the ordenary not like some many of the other videos that just so the truck driveing you had allot of action shots and a exiting music great job! 5 stars!
i se that you have singel tires on the drive axels is that good??and you have roller treads too how is that working in the snow??i can se that it`s saves diesel.
They are like the old "Screamin' Demon" 2 cycle Detroit Diesels. Some drivers and companies swear by them and some swear at them. Their main plus, is decreased tare weight. saving nearly the weight of four tire side walls and two rims per axle, as much 1200 lb on a standard 5 axle unit. Some driver's report a sort of "wallow" effect because of increased sidewall flex and increased stopping distance on wet roads due to decreased tire/road contact area.
I don't know. I imagine if you know how to drive, like someone with some sense, in snowy conditions, then you probably wouldn't have much of a problem. There are chains made to fit them.
Great video you have a nice feel for it but youve got to develop it more... more about the lifestyle,faces,places,and for gawd sakes get a trailer,bobtailing aint truckin!
there is a reason why truckers are given the nickname Gear Jammer's. And beside auto's don't have the torque that a manul trans. has. Heavy loads aka "super loads" are hard of automatic trans.
@Whitelinefilms ah, so you gotta portable typewriter too instead of a comp keyboard then? think, man...gearshifting dont add anything. know the expensive flippershift, like in formula 1-cars? scanias goit it. standard. in case uou wanna overrule the machine...
Awsome,awsome only short but its so powerfull this was the first of steves video's i came across and i never get tired of watchin it. filmed like a pro steve, who says truckers are dum!!!
I have blown one out (tire defect only 1700 miles on them) And it was fine! From the time i it blew out till I was back on the free way was less then a hour I was in the boonies too. You cac check out my vid BIG RIG TRUCKER 2 if you want to see one blown out!
As far as the t2000's we don't have even one t2000...
I thought I would hate these super singles but after having thm I don't know if I would get back the trl I'm pulling now even has super singles.

@fitzergyzzmo the travel ops are great when you are youg however it is a very corrupted industry to work in. When I found 2+ years of experience wasn't getting me the desired local pay and the day shift I was looking for, I just went into other sectors of the workforce. Only problem when one does that, the trucking companies will look at that as an negative for exploring other career options making that 2+ years mean sqaut. That is what I mean by corrupted industry where xp is not credited.

So I thought about getting back behind the wheel and said Yeah. I m only doing 16 hours aweek , 2 short runs ( about 350 mile round trip ) a week . No one else wanted this but it suits me just fine its just enough. Nice truck too ( its an old 2003 Nissan Diesel Big Sam -lovely machine , not many about here in UK ). So , anyhow , one way or another trucking has " called " me back . It just wont leave you alone!

Great vid Steve . I enjoy your vids. Ive been trucking on and off and doing other jobs for years ( some involving driving a truck as well as part of the job ) But trucking just seems to keep "finding" me and pulling me back. For last 3 yrs Ive been working from home ( I make Neon tubes , which is also my hobby ) Then month ago a trucking company I used to work for asked me if Id like to do a part time job that no one else wants ( they all want more hours ).

So true,kinda wish I've never gotten into this industry. However,after being gone a while to finish and put closure to all of my off road business I'll be back out there again one day.

I don't know about the rest of you,but I want vengeance to what's been done to the industry I learned to love so much.

great video mate but when are yours not? and i think if you want to get out you are giving yourself a great chance with your video/editing work. excellent work you do.
to answer your question, its in the blood but it also comes down to doing what you know. i think a lot of guys would get out if they could but they dont know any different. myself on the other hand i love the job (except for the stupid shit) and dont see myself doing anything else though i have done my trade as a machinist.

I think i can say trucking is in your blood for the fact that i started driving them at 15 years of age. I am currently 16 and drive a truck decently without grinding, i can back up but most importantly i can take care of myself in the road. i know that takes years of experience but im getting there. So i think it is but some people are forced to because of the need for money and thats their last option. In my case, I WANT TO TRUCK!!!

i se that you have singel tires on the drive axels is that good??and you have roller treads too how is that working in the snow??i can se that it`s saves diesel.
truckingswe 2 years ago
They are like the old "Screamin' Demon" 2 cycle Detroit Diesels. Some drivers and companies swear by them and some swear at them. Their main plus, is decreased tare weight. saving nearly the weight of four tire side walls and two rims per axle, as much 1200 lb on a standard 5 axle unit. Some driver's report a sort of "wallow" effect because of increased sidewall flex and increased stopping distance on wet roads due to decreased tire/road contact area.
heatherrose2006 2 years ago
so if they have increased stopping distance in just rain and wet roads then they really should suck in snow??
truckingswe 2 years ago
I don't know. I imagine if you know how to drive, like someone with some sense, in snowy conditions, then you probably wouldn't have much of a problem. There are chains made to fit them.
