The Life of a Trucker - Episode 9

Using the Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens. It should really shine through here. I also tried out a new toy called the wheelbarrow cam. The shots around my truck and along the trailer are with the wheelbarrow cam. It will require some tweaking to make the video nicer and smooth (bump free) but it looks ok for now. There are some bad shakes in some clips, I was trying to counter the actual camera movement in post, sorry. Couldn't tell until after the video was rendered. So it ain't perfect, but it ain't bad either! Rate Comment Subscribe! My thanks to all of you who watch faithfully, met lots of you, waiting to meet the rest of you on the road. Thankyou for Watching, Cheers!

Dave, your videos are great and makes the life of a trucker more realistic to those like myself. I am one of those people who take your hard work for granted. Living on the other side of the world, we are always awaiting shipments from Canada. Watching your videos tells me some of the issues why we get late shipments, 'Murphy's Law'. Next time you find youself hauling 40ft contianers of frozen beef from High River to Vancouver, it could be coming to me. Look forward to more of your videos.

Hi Dave, your LOAT videos still remain unsurpassed by anyone else filming from within the truck industry, in storyline, creativity and cinematography. It's nice watching something that isn't all ramped up on scripted drama. I hope there is an episode 10 in the future. God bless.

One thing i've learned riding with my dad is that late and night and very early in the morning is less traffic and you make better time like that.

Hi Dave i relly enjoy your videos. I have a video camera i have used alot on trips, but not any where near your videos. I have not began to learn the fine art yet. I am also a trucker, for 20 years now. Its a great job, I am thinking of going back to deck work i like it the best. It looks like the company you drove for is a good company ,i may look into them they are in my area.

You take it easy and all the best to you.

Is it normal for a 16 year old kid to want to do this. I think about it a lotm and I would really like to pursue a career in it.

You make great videos. if you don't mind me asken why did you stop driven trucks?

Okay,, You want comments and suggestions,, here goes... I just discovered your videos and subscribed immediately. You have made the best trucking life videos that I have found yet.. You have proven what I always thought, that swear words and other profanity is not needed for a good video as many of the others contain. Your works are well thought out and well made with great camera work. Occasionally though, the music overpowers your commentary,, a pet peeve of mine..

David, I think deep down you are a poet and a great film maker.
