Thanks a lot bro!

It’s funny you say that, the speedometer was slightly off and having a glitch at the time, but I had it fixed as soon as possible and along with the camera angle giving it a false illusion of 65, but I was actually going the correct speed limit!

I’ll see you on the road brother! Best of luck to you this summer! 💪🏻🔥💯

🤣🤣

Right! It’s a great feeling, not far off from getting monetized!

@@Jaythetruckerr don’t forget me when ur famous bro lol

@@Syb0rgg__ definitely won’t bro!

Appreciate that sir! Still working on improving my loading skills, definitely hard work and that’s cool! Who do you haul for ?

@@Jaythetruckerr I’ve hauled with United Van Lines from 1977 to 1996. Stevens Van Lines 1997 to 2021. Now I’m with Allied Van Lines to present day. I’ve slowed down a bit 😂👋🏽😂

@@truckinfam2207 that’s awesome man, keep killing it and may we be blessed this summer 🔥💪🏻!

Hahah yeah , it’s a completely different process and can’t exactly forklift it. We have to check everything off on inventory as well and I pay my labor to help me so sometimes it’s better to save on expenses and work a longer day!

Always wondered how it is to forklift load and unload!

That’s awesome to hear man! Definitely keeps you in shape and I appreciate that !!

It’s definitely pretty solid in the summer!

Who did you move for before ?

Thanks a lot brother! Yeah I actually do! It’s hard work, but I have been moving for a while before I got into this and I like it pretty well!

Are you thinking of getting into it as well?

@@Jaythetruckerr You’re welcome! I should’ve came into trucking doing it back in 2019. My brother and I use to help our dad when he was driving trucks and we enjoyed it. Around this time next year, maybe sooner, I’m getting out of trucking and going back into service.

@@darianmallard6350 oh okay, that’s awesome and appreciate the service!!

@@Jaythetruckerr Thank you!

Hahaha, that’s funny that you say that. They have been around for many years, Look at world champ boxer Canelo for example!

2016 international Lonestar with a Cummins Engine!

13 speed

Saludos !🔥

That’s awesome! It sounds like you are well rounded and have experience with several types of truck jobs. I can’t believe that they wouldn’t hire you anywhere with all that experience. I don’t think it’s too late if you really want to because I see that most of the drivers are around that age anyways! Which has been your favorite thing to haul so far??

@@Jaythetruckerr I made good money with tankers and mostly only did 3 states. 2 years I had my own reefer trailer ar around 2004 running seafood. and produce from coast to coast was fun. The best job as far as being treated like a human being was power only a company named R and R express. I hate I left them. The job I'm with now I only work 4 days a week home every night and make $72k which is still pretty good where I live.

@@marcusmoore9859 okay nice! Honestly man, that’s good money for the days you work and being home every night. Time is more valuable than money and that trade off for a little extra can be more important!

Haha ahhh man it’s that bad?? What happened ??

@@Jaythetruckerr half the fuel island is shut off. They got rid of security so the parking lot is a shit show. A lot of the time none of the fuel pumps work

@@mikelangston7699 man, sounds like a disaster. Not even going to lie. Most of the time I try to stay away from commercial owned truck stops and park at private owned when available on my routes.

Hey, thanks a lot for that insight brother! I’ll definitely keep that in mind. I’ll have to try tractor supply, I feel like most stores wouldn’t like for me to be there simply because they will know I’m with a moving company and not delivering groceries 🤣. Seems like they are really starting to crack down on truck parking in random store lots from what I have noticed

@Jaythetruckerr we have a contract with tractor supply that's why we can park there. They are sometimes small places and hard to maneuver around. But give it a shot. Most close at 8pm and open at 7am. But if you're delivering to a store ,most times you can back into the dock and no one will bother you, sometimes they may even unload early. Good luck driver and be safe.

@@peteyates1188 okay, sounds good and thanks a lot brother, likewise!

Thank you brother 💯🔥

The drive shaft bearing went out, but I just got it back yesterday!

That’s awesome man! Flat bed seems tough as well! You frequently have to secure the loads and strap in the right pressure points and props to the neat tarping haha, I wouldn’t know where to start🤣. Thanks a lot for that!

It has an upper deck and then it drops off low to the floor haha!

Yes sir!

Nice man! That’s killer money! That was gross? Appreciate that a lot !

Oh nice man, I’ll have to check that out next time, thanks for the heads up!

I think it’s called the golden nugget if I remember right

@@brandonjames9689 okay cool I’ll look that up!

Yeah man!

What do you mean by trade shows?

@@Jaythetruckerr like show for like people in like concert and they would show stuff for that trade

@@brandonjames9689 oh! Not that I’m aware of

Gloves for what brother ? Gloves when fueling and callus for the rest!

Thank you brother! Ready to crush it this summer!

I got a few friends in the moving industry not too many good Co's North American' Allied were seperate Co's at one time

@@larrybrown7273 yeah, I mostly switched to dual for the trailer but it’s pretty much all the same now!

Appreciate the service! That’s awesome, I get that, I do a good bit of traveling with them and without as well!

Definitely worth the visit along the route!

I’ve never been to the lower deck, what’s it like ??

@@Jaythetruckerr Made me mad, because all the beams blocked the view and of course, the view above. I did get a picture out my door window, but it showed the blurry beams. But, still a good experience. I never went back. I'm not scared of any city driving, I used to go to the Water Market in down town Chicago. But, New York is too far away from home (Idaho). I would run out of hours and have to run on cap hours to get home. I was out there because my brother and his family live just north of the city. The visit was worth the trip.

So far it’s my favorite state to drive to but, there are definitely pros and cons about it haha. I just like the views and food

Yeah it’s a triple drop and can definitely notice the extra that it holds! That’s awesome man, best of luck to you and you should definitely go for it. I’m still learning all of that as well, I’m brand new to CZcams, but my only regret is not starting sooner. Now it’s trial and error making for experimentation for good videos!

I’ll give you a subscription brother 💪🏻

@@Jaythetruckerr thanks. I’ll let you know when I post the first video.

@@GimpyExpress please do!

@@GimpyExpress reach out on instagram at Jaythetruckerr or TikTok: Jaythetruckerrr or just shoot me a comment here once you post it

Yeah the lake is nice!

Wow, that sounds like a terrible experience and a bad taste to leave in your mouth for starting trucking. I’m sorry that it happened and I’m sure that it forced you to learn a different approach for the future. Unfortunately some lessons in this industry are learned the hard way, at least from my experience, but at least once you learn them like that you don’t forget and try to prevent as much as possible for future scenarios. Did you end up driving for someone’s else later on?

@@Jaythetruckerr that’s right. Over time and experience we learn to stay away from the bad companies. North American is good, just the agent was bad. Went to flatbed then reefer. Oh, I hope it’s okay to leave several comments per video. It helps your algorithm.

@@GimpyExpress yeah unfortunately that can be the case! And nice, flatbed seems like a lot of work with all the strapping involved at all times, ensuring that your loads always secure and not falling off into the road lol. I heard reefer is pretty tough as well, how do you like it though?

@@GimpyExpress yeah honestly it’s nice to be getting a lot of comments, it definitely helps the algorithm and hopefully this video blows up, the views have already been shooting up more than any of my other videos within the last few days on this one!

Thanks! Yeah for sure, I’ll make a gym workout some time and I wanted to do a video with me working out in the trailer of my truck with the equipment that I have along with body weight exercises. I’m telling you guys, before I used to weigh more and be jacked!! I’m going to work hard at getting back where I was and do a progress video as well

Appreciate it brother!!💪🏻💯

Thanks man! Imma try to keep building up!

You should get back into it bro, little by little 💯🔥

Pho is great man! Atlanta has the best pho spots that I have tried so far though. That one wasn’t as authentic as others that I have been to, but still good haha

Thanks brother! Definitely a change of pace for the videos, but wanted to try something different!

That’s awesome! How long did you drive with them for? My first trucking job started with Allied and now I’m also a part of NAVL. The cabovers look pretty interesting and I bet the can maneuver in some very tight spots since they don’t have a nose!

@@Jaythetruckerr Only lasted 6 months, I was more interested in driving than being a mover. Still driving today, the last 20 years with FedEx.

@@user-zs4um9lw3n I get that , the moving is not for everyone, there is a lot that goes into it. I did moving for years before I started trucking and decided to be a driver. How is FedEx ? Do you currently do long distance or local?

@@Jaythetruckerr I’ve been local P&D for the whole 20 years. I like it, except they just scrapped my beloved older truck with a manual. Stuck driving an auto from now on and I absolutely hate it. It may end up making me leave.

@@user-zs4um9lw3n oh wow, that’s awesome and glad that you like it and I’m currently in a rental automatic while my 13 speed is in the shop and there are definitely things I hate about it like climbing hills and backing haha, but I I don’t mind being in the traffic and going through numerous traffic lights with it !

Yes exactly! Super helpful and awesome agency!

Thanks a lot brother, glad that you enjoyed! Haha yeah , so it is a go pro mounted 🤣. You get use to it man , I just put a hat backwards, you can also wear a hat forward with a clip for the go pro to clamp onto the bill. I consider the glasses as well, but passed for now because they don’t have them in 4K yet.

Thanks for watching!

Appreciate that, bro! It’s definitely a beauty!

Thanks a lot, brother! Likewise! You have some really interesting truck vlogs, and I love the cooking videos in your truck, super inspiring!

It’s honestly not too bad! You just have to chip away at it day by day. Make sure to always pay attention to road conditions/drivers and weather around you and listen to your body. When you’re tired pull over to travel centers/rest stops/hotels along the way and recharge yourself with food and and rest and you’ll be okay. Good luck and safe travels!

Nice , a local mentioned that it was $40, I’m just glad it was free
