Great video..  Like the effects.. You may have answered this before but where are the road shots taken at? Look like I-70 through Colorado?

[Whitelinefilms]

@alsknwlf Thank you for the nice comments. The video was shot in Colorado off the beat path of US 6.

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.

Soundtrack had 100% to do with why this vid rocks, you did a great job with this Steve.

[grlndklng]

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.

@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
