Welcome to our crazy adventure we call life! We love to live life on the path less traveled.
In 2016 we decided to take our years of experience in trucking on the road to become over the road team drivers. So we could become debt free house and all. We quickly learned there was little information about this kinda lifestyle available. So here we are sharing what we have learned with you.
We want to help you learn how to make your truck feel more like home while on the road with helpful advise on:
~Meal prep and healthy eating
~Creating the best sleep environment and habits
~Truck organization and cleanliness.
~Driving and safety tips.
And so much more
What does life look like after we become debt free? Good question
We aren`t sure! Stay tuned as we live this crazy adventure we call life! We hope to live more of a homestead lifestyle diving deeper into things like holistic and natural remedies, financial coaching, self employment and whatever else God has planned for us.

4th of July on the Road | Making the best of it
Trucks move every day of the year!!! So the likely of you working on the holiday is high. Plan ahead and make the best of it!! I went to our local farm stand earlier in the week for fresh blueberries, corn on the cob, tomato and other goods. I made a blueberry pie from scratch to go with our BLT and corn on the cob
Be careful, stay safe and enjoy the adventures.

So back to the shop to have it fixed. its important to keep an eye on things after major work like that. its good to always keep a watch and listen under the hood so you can catch things before it gets bad.

there is no free version ☹️, wrong information
What is the brand of the oven you are using?
I tried using trucker path and noticed it’ll take me down a more fcked up paths that the trucks shouldn’t be driving on.
I tried paid trucker path and as a company driver there isn’t any benefits for me for that price
We agree with you
👍
Oh ok, insta-pot makes air fryers?
What is that oven?
It's an instanta pot airfryer
@@SimpleLivin I was going to say the other day when I heard you on K.C.’s show, what about a George Formans insta grill on the truck instead of a grill?
Thanks for listening in on the show!! We shave a skillet and the insta airfryer. The both work great. We do make smash burgers in booth
The whole world: We have trains America: this bullshit.
Hell yeah love it ❤🫡
The inside of this truck❤❤❤ I would willingly cook every meal.
It didn't cost much to make our truck this nice. It's a company truck so no damage could be done.
I would support this activity with anything BUT sugary foods like pie fillings or caramels, and deep frying. You hit a bump, a pothole, have to swerve to avoid something, whatever have you, and you've got some brand new third degree burns to show off. I'm sure you already know how well melted sugars and syrups can retain heat, but seriously, be super super careful with that stuff! With driving being as unpredictable and dangerous as it is... If you're doing this anywhere but a highway in the middle of nowhere you're just asking to get hurt sometime or another. Still though, pie looks great would eat.
I understand where you are coming from and respect your opinion and use to have the same mindset... BUTTTTT then one day God woke me up!!! I realized I was missing out on some many things that equal daily life. It had been over 5 years since I made a pie. I was not allowing myself to have simple joys. I had stopped living intentionally in areas God had blessed me. Andddd bigger than that, I allowed myself to be controlled and influenced by fear! That is not the life God has pla Ned for us or calls us too. Sooo I realize Scott and I have an amazing driving record. We have close to 2,000,000 safe miles driven just as team. Our solo carries have big awards and success. I was no longer going to allow a less than 1% chance of a negative experience to control 99% of my life. I also realized that trucking is one of the hardest carriers in the world. To have extreme success in the industry, you must learn to embrace it. Find small ways with simple actions that bring positive impact to your life. A year an a half later my physical, mental and emotional health have all improved dramatically. I will keep taking a chance and do my part to full lice life God has called me to. I pray this outlook encourages and inspires you to live with joy not fear
one pot hole and the van will get a surprise repainting
One bump and you get a brand new third degree burn on your entire body :D
Nahhhhh
Pretty sure it’s illegal when the car is moving and for you to be moving about…. Might not want to film you doing that.
I'll gladly ask the officer if they would like fresh hot pie like their granny made 👵 ❤️
in what scenario do you need to drive somewhere and make a blueberry pie at the same time
When you are a team driver and the truck doesn't stop much! Why stop living life or live it in fear of the what if
@@SimpleLivin seems like the person who’s always moving would be the one who’s afraid to stop living life…
Not at all!!! Head down working hard so we can retire young and way early.
👍
You guys are the real team! ❤
We have learned you don't have a to cut quality life and miss out on so much just because you live on the road. I got tired of living life from fear. I took back my life and live with joy 😊
So amazing, Angie! Stay safe out there 😊❤
Thank you!!! How are you guys?? I would love to hear an update. If you send me an email I'll message you my phone number. We think about you guys and wonder where God has taken you Angie.ritchiechapel@gmail.com
Is backing doubles anything like a regular 53’ trailer or no?
Absolutely not. Legally you are not to back them. Can you yes. Does it take mega skill yes. They bend in the middle and get jacked easy
OMG looks awesome have a bite for me please :)
No problem!! It was so delicious! I haven't made a blueberry pie in years. Ohhh how I missed it!!
Hot pans and contents in the event of an accident could be catastrophic. Not worth the risk.
I will not stop living life from the fear of the 1% chance something could happen. Close to 2,000,000 safe miles and counting.
Ah don’t matter if it’s cheap. Run it for 4000000 make ya money and sell it call it a day.
Wonderful Ideas. This stuff should be standard in trucks.
We think it should be standard as well
Thanks just watched how to hook and unhook super simple and clear to understand and no stupid background music playing
You are welcome. Hope it helps
4 monyhs out of service international due to fuel ,ext parts not available
Frustrating to say the least
Amazing,well done !
Thank you for mentioning the BIBLE!! Amen! I freaking love you guys! I hope my wife and I get to meet yall someday. I would love to pick yalls brains about some stuff!! God bless you guys!!

My wife and I have a system that whenever someone is asleep in the sleeper than they put their shoes in the passenger floorboard. Before the driver pulls off we check to make sure that shoes are in the floorboard and we never have to worry about someone getting left.
Forest Gump anyone??😂
OMG! Willow Jean's hair-do is so dang cute. So is Scott's! LOL
Thank god for these videos because I can’t See it In my mind In the CDL manual
Glad it can be helpful
@@SimpleLivin keep doing what your doing I passed my written permit and combination endorcemnt I’m gomns tankers endorcment . Gonna take my triples and doubles after I get my official licence from the DMV i want to be a flat bedder or find. A good local single long trailer job
Congratulations!!! Great plan ahead of you. Thank you for the excellent

O no Hawk tuah on that 😂
😆 🤣
Might want to spell check the title,
Lots to come from you guys. Can’t wait. Just curious, what ever happened with that ticket situation where trooper said your were following too close? Hope you beat it.
Thanks for asking!!! So sadly the warning stayed on my CSA score. It was a sergeant that wrote the warning. I applied twice ( including professional help) the safe board at the state level would notbover turn the ruling. All i can say is good ole biy club still exists. My company however doesn't agree with the ruling. I personally do except or count it against my record.
Freight will probably be sold off, just like UPS did with their LTL freight
Great Truck. I bought a VNL770 in 1999 and drove it for 10 years, then went back to Peterbilt. I am ready for my final truck. It's really difficult finding a 13 speed or an 18 speed with modern amenities. It's either an old school dineseur or a steering wheel holders batmobile. Thanks for the video.
We much prefer a manual. Like you said though it's becoming a thing of the past
Can they tell you to pull to an inspection lane through the speaker even if you have a green light ?
I believe so.
I have seen you discuss this impressive system twice, and there has been no mention of the wastewater. What do you do after the dishes are washed?
I pitch it out the window
My wife and also use the 3-3 shift split. It works great!!!
So glad to hear that!!! It really seems to help not get so tired and feel like you have more of a life on the road in our opinion. What do you think?
@@SimpleLivin I completely agree. I am an early riser so I take the 3a-3p and it allows my wife to get her “beauty sleep” during the day while I battle traffic and chicken coops. We actually have our daughter with us full time. She is autistic and loves to travel so it’s a win win for all of us. We were actually thinking of starting our own CZcams channel documenting our travels. Not really sure how to do all that but I’m sure my wife will figure it out lol
Hate to be the one to break it to you, but as an ex-trucker I know all the lingo. Good Buddy did not mean trusted friend or companion, it meant homosexual.
I love Google maps because it takes me everywhere but my truck don’t need to be
Looks like fun 🎉

I'm signing the papers in few days, unbelievable terms 😮
What size is your mattress? Are you having to use full size sheets? Your mattress almost looks like a full sized mattress like most futon beds use. Wasn’t sure if the video just makes it look bigger.
The mattress is 42x80. They sell custom sheets that size. We got ours from pretro truck stop
Absolutely love y’all’s videos. Super helpful. I don’t team, I’ve always been a solo driver, but none the less your videos are so very helpful. I was wondering where you guys bought those fluffy sheepskin seat covers?? I can’t seem to find the long sheepskin covers. Only very short. Are your covers 100% natural covers or faux sheepskin? Maybe that is why I can’t find the long fluff? Please let me know. Stay safe and continue with the great vids! Thank u
Get shoes for your dogs
👍
So many of these new drivers don't take the time to do a pre-trip then wonder why they blow a tire or end up in an accident as always great video ...
I think it's the air ride / seat suspension.
