RUN HARD GET PAID
the bigger the "drivers wanted " ad on the trailer the bigger the chance you don't want to go there.
richarerich richards truth
richarerich richards if there's a 1-800 number don't call it. Shoot for the smaller non training companies. You'll be allot happier.
Life lesson for ya bro. NEVER discuss your personal business with others IE you tube. Your just putting a target on your head. Or keep learning the hard way. Yeah that seems to be working for you.
big companies are he best like specifically schneider.
I wasnt out there long. Not for me. But I did by o coast to coast and almost boarder to boarder with Swift. And I had a good exp as far as the Company goes. But it was back in 2010- 2011.
First time I saw one of your videos. I have drove for 47 years. O/O for 38 years. One of first things I learned, NEVER EVER LET someone else drive your truck for you. Behind the wheel you are totally responsible, not no dispatcher, or even an owner. You can't stay awake, park it, there are other jobs, not other lives. Inform your boss or company, but you and only you are responsible.
I worked for Old Dominion freight as dock lead for 3 years and they offered me the opertunity to go through their driving program. And the first thing our instructor told us who was also our areas safety guy was.....YOU are the captain of YOUR truck. If you don't feel something is safe its your decision . if your tired stop for a nap or break. Don't do anything you are not comfortable doing. They O/D would rather you be late or make other arrangements than be involved in or create a accident. It's something I've always used and it has helped me along the way
@@parentsbasement7734 they are right it's YOUR life YOUR cdl YOUR ass on the line not anyone else's so fuck what they need to say
40 years driving , If I got tired I slept . You never should have called .
James please reply to fabio's question. I wanna know same.
Traffic, icy road, heavy rain. Any old excuse...F'm If a cop said he was unfit, they'd take his gun and badge. A truck jack knifing at 60mph....
lol James is somewhere sleep and getting paid for it.
Better than driving tired and killing someone.
Indeed!
I saw your 20/20, I thought it was excellent, you certainly did the right thing, I'm not a trucker, but I know exactly what you mean regarding napping while holding the wheel.
I got fired from UNFI and found out that Crete put on my DAC that I was fired in May and now Im having a diffucult time getting a job. I wonder if I should look into transit or intercity bus driving. Or even railroad operations.
your candor and honesty is refreshing. keep up the great work.you're one of the good guys.
I'm happy you brought national media attention to some of the problems in our industry that need to be fixed.
7 years later everything was resolved!🖕🏿
You young guys better listen to us old guys and stay out of this shit ! Get your self a good job and stay with it . Trucking sucks always has .
+Danny Chavez thats what my dad told me and i listened . he retired with over 3 mil miles as owner operator and didnt have much to show for it when he retired other then social security and a life time of being away from his kids and grand kids
how much where you making a week as a trucker ??? I worked for swift for only 3 months and was bring home 400 bucks a week?
+Vusumuzi Mathumo-Githendu in 1981 last year I was in the union in made 35,000 gross . And was home every day . When I quit my last trucking job I was driving for Walmart I was making around 80,000 but was never at home . Kids didn't ack like they knew me , so I quit trucking and started farming , if I never see another truck it will be to soon!
Danny Chavez am only making 400 bucks a week with swift
Danny Chavez omg thats what happend to my dad when he truck drived
One thing about trucking. There is always another job. All you have to do is go get it.
I didn't mind fracking until one I turned on the water and lit a cigarette. My kitchen blew up and I ended up in the living room.
Never be afraid to put people on blast, unfortunately there all many dirty sides of trucking. Keep the videos coming and good luck as an Owner operator
good luck to you! thank you for the update. I hope to see more videos after you get all settled in :)
Thank you! More Videos on the way!
Fired on Monday hired by Friday.
i think its pretty funny that a cop will wake you from your sleep at the request of your company to start driving an 18 wheeler in the middle of the night.
Worst thing to do in the world...pour sand onto a oil well (I know it didn't actually happen), second worst thing to do...get a lease on your truck.
I got fired from Crete Carrier for 3 backing accidents and I got turned away by Swift, Schneider and USX. I hope to find something soon.
You'll get through it. Stick it out. Getting fired is truly not the end of the world.
You're hot, too.
gonzalez yup lol
Give it up boy, you are not a driver, drivers are MEN.
+Rich s judging by how bad they jumped all over him i'm wondering if he made a habit of being so tired he was falling asleep behind the wheel ..
One thing I have learned in life...the media is your worst enemy. Don't ever trust them. Alas, hitting things in the oil field is a-ok. I used to work for a concrete pumping company that also did frac. I was a yard hand at the time. Was moving a truck to get loaded and backed over a pallet of calcium chloride. That was the big laugh for a couple of days (even had the owner joking about it). I was called Crash lol.
That is what I was fighting another you tube troll about.
Sleep studies ........suggested that you had several months of humping it and the fatigue caused a break down of circadian rhythms. Then the brain was too tired to stay awake. You could have walked 10 miles or drank 10 gallons of coffee and still been dangerous on the road.
That's how pilots crash planes sometimes.
Thank you now I have closure on that case.
Good for you Abe, you stick up for your rights where others would'nt !! And Btw Merry Christmas to you and yours.
All companies NEED DRIVERS like there is no tomorrow... they don't need people to complain and set the record straight... that is why the huge turn over of truckers... but not to worry, you loose some, then get some, there are so many well paying trucker jobs out there that if you ever get fired from one there is a very big chance you'll be hired by another, even a better one... Switch companies like toilet paper, that is the best option to find the one you will be satisfied or happy with!!! Never think that the first truck job you get will be the one you'll retire with, always be ahead of their game with better or different options. Make a career out of trucking by learning not to pay attention to all the corporate bullying... the moment they threaten you just be firm and be ready to walk. I bet you you can find a job within less than 24 hours!
DJ KrazyMM
The title of this video should be "Look mom, no brains" or, "Welcome to my fantasy".
Trucking companies don't want their unfair stuff to be exposed. They don't want how trucking companies screw over truck drivers, and when a driver exposes it their life ruin.
the only people that are giving this job a bad name are the idiots who rip ass down the highway damn near running anything that gets in their way over
Never back down Abe!
Too many trucking companies doing the wrong thing and not enough drivers willing to stand up to them.
“A lot of folks don’t like fricking, a lot of folks do like fricking”
I’m a oil field trucker and there is a policy of no no backing at the wells
Abe you should buy a volvo vnl. It's the best for a owner operator, low fuel consumption, aerodynamics, cheaper to purchase, much more space, all n all a best truck to buy in my opinion.
JohnnyLoco846 agreed I have one!!
To the commenters saying he changes jobs a lot..... Companies change employees a lot. Maybe if more people like this man said ok... enough of your bullshit, and did it in large enough numbers....oh, wait, there is a trucker crisis so bad they are talking about letting 18 year olds drive. Maybe if companies cared about employees, employees would care about their jobs.
When you want a contract with a company to truck for them, make good agreements with them on paper, like a minimum of milage per week or month, and get payd the minimum milage agreed. Even when you drove zero milage you must been payd. Your cost of the lease contract every month for the truck, insurance etc. must be paid.
Good agreements on paper can avoid a lot of problems in future.
It doesn't matter how long you have been in the industry, every driver fucks up, no matter how may years of experience you have shit happens. If you say you don't or haven't you're full of shit.
Landstar is one go the best to lease on to in my opinion they keep you loaded if you want to be loaded and get a older truck pay it off and buy a newer one !!
Fuck that we listen cause your real.
There is always work for a honest working man.
We, are a much undervalued commodity in today's society.
Lots of fish in the sea. When it comes to places to work, imo.
Fracking has been in use for over 60 years. I'd say it's a good procedure.
good for you Abe! standing up for what's right, too few people out their are willing to do what you did, good on you! if more driver's stood up and spoke out all this would stop real quick!
I bet you love filling out the past work history section with all these new companies. Holy hell.
I can't let an opportunity pass me by ;)
Jason Eyerly, the written work history can be anything. That's why managers have the use of the CDLIS report, which will also shine light on safety issues with a driver, among other concerns.
there are plenty of reasons to leave sunset, keeping you out for 6-7 weeks and forcing you to accept a load after only 2 days off, or forcing you to run illegal (I think they've gotten elogs since I left) and taking $500 out of your first check for truck recovery fees if you just leave the truck somewhere and not give the money back after giving 2 weeks notice and returning the truck spotless, I could go on and on...
Try driving cement truck, paid hourly, lots of overtime
That's shit work at least for me uncomfortable ride and just the worse I'll take a big rig anyway but I work for a O/O and she takes damn good of me
What kind of license for that Class A or B?
Chris Moctezuma I concur. Drove for Nevada Ready Mix..... totally sucked!
Your not whinning and so what if you had lots of jobs who cares if its thousands as long as you eventually find the perfect fit for you why waste your time driving for greedy, careless millionaires that look at you as just a statistic? Keep doin your thing you'll get there eventually.
Abe,Cody W. Is family, so get in there and make yourself a driving hand. That reefer transport company is or was down to only 10-11trucks. Though they are coming back slowly. Im sure family will take care of you as their own. Basically its like this...do your job...do it well...always on time...always clean neat and house broken in thier place of bussiness. Get out there and then get home. You have others that are laying back to see you either grow or quit. Now take that ball and get running fer a touchdown. Mhmm C-ya! :) amaze me please. Just be safe and do it. I know you can. But thats up to you.
plz continue your vids, im retired danish truck driver, very interresting watching how trucking goes in us, and other countries :)
Could you re-upload the vidios? Since you have already been fired?
What videos?
RunHard GetPaid the computer fumbling vids
Listen I don't get what happened in the previous video where you got in trouble with dispatch for not continuing on the road when you were tired. If they gave you a ten hour break prior to this, why'd you need another one? Are you saying they cut your break short in the next day?
+Danny Levine They gave him two 10 hour breaks back to back then expected him to get going after that!
Ok but still- if he had only been on break for ten hours not asleep during that time- ten hour without sleep should not be enough to make him too tired to drive.
You will perpetually vlog yourself out of jobs.
q p I would hire him. He seems like he wants a good solid employment with all the bells and whistles. The way I see it is that he can advertise for me. For free :). I understand that rules gotta be bent sometimes but I honestly feel this guy would understand. Did I mention free publicity?
@@layyouin6860 I heard he was out of trucking. You should reach out to him.
one door closes opens another innit
He will always be going from job to job
@@yorod4 hopefully not, video is 4 years old..
Don't Drink Nestle. That company is unethical. And really Whistler water or any water from BC tastes way better. And if you like bottled water tie down a large 5 gallon to your passenger seat and put a hand pump spout on it, available from some water stores.
man I respect truckers I've met alot of otr driver s and they treat y'all terrible
BE CAREFULLY MY DOG EATS TROLLS
"And this ain't no shit." HehHeh
Haha good one but, everyone should know that on a frac location the sand trucks will never come near the well. Also, sorry to hear about your trucking dilemma I've had the same experiences working for abusive oilfield companies. Anywhere from working 19 hour days for a whole month to having to haul trailers without license plates or lights. Some people are greedy and want whatever it takes from their employees to get the job done. I believe on your other video they wanted you to risk your life and lives of others just so you can make $200 I'm guessing. It's that attitude that messes things up so my advice is to just avoid these industries. A lot of these jobs are acting like they're a large team but you have to look out for yourself and sometimes the best thing to do is abandon your "team" because it's not a team if you're the only player.
I'm glad to see you back can't wait for the new videos.I was wondering what you were up to I wish you a lot of getting your own truck.See you convoy
its peter griffen the trucker
I feel you're pain brother i hope you got another job
Maybe that's why I made it 32 years no crying, no Bitching, no Whining just get the fucking job done period, it worked for me
I'm a owner operator with a contract with UPS team operation drivers are on for 15 days and seven days off Drivers are averaging 6000 to 7400 miles a week Weekly pay is $1200-$2000 with an average of 1500 a week per driver based out of Las Vegas looking for good teams to fill these positions
Keep making videos your funny and cool to watch.
Ha Ha! When you said Indianapolis, I thought you were going to work for Celedon! You were making fun of them in the Trucker Huck videos!
I know you can make more else were but steady work, home every night, spare trucks when your main is down, weekly pay, insurance, shit that is hard to beat!!
Good luck bro. I hope this works well for you. I am sure you will do better this time. You should take a look at some of the new Cascadias. I have been looking at some of them and they are beautiful, fully loaded trucks that are worth their weight in the money you will spend. I look forward to watching future videos you put up. I am going for my CDL starting here soon. If you can give me any advice that would be great.
Hate to disagree with you Abe, but a lease/purchase absolutely IS the worst move you could make in this environment
Wow that sucks bud but if it was another driver that's snitched you out it just goes to show that we as drivers really are our own worst enemies people need to change the way they live it is not affecting my life in any direct way such as my money my wife and my kids and a roof over their heads then I don't give a shit what anyone else does I'm sure the hell not going to go out of my way to get somebody fired people who do that are just low life scum
I don't think whoever called was trying to rat on me, I think that that person was interested in what was going on and called them to ask...... at least I hope they didn't call to try and get me fired.
Amen.
RunHard GetPaid stay positive man. That's why I watch your videos. I appreciate your attitude.
RunHard GetPaid Remember this buddy, a man that can't make a mistake - can't do anything!
***** Can we discuss this WITHOUT bringing God into it!, after all - he doesn't exist!
except in the minds of the weak that have to cling onto some century's old bullshit that supposedly proves his existence because it's written in a book.......just fuck right off!
I found your worst enemy can be other drivers
I do not understand, you worked for a Mich company that you liked and worked steady and was paid well. You lasted 6 weeks then quit because they did not offer an OO package. You then go to another company that really didn't offer any more to obtain your dream of an OO. With your four years of experience as a driver with no violations I have to ask HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN FIRED ? You are just a whiner.
he really is a fucking baby...
Have you ever been a truck driver??
Midwest Direct Transport in coopersville Michigan is a great company that has an owner op program
real man do the right thing ....God bless u the best is yet to COME...
Good to see you. What kind of truck are you going to buy?
Dang that sucks... If this opportunity dont work out or u dont like. You can try the oil fields in Midland texas. my buddy works down there 100k per year.
You appear to be a very smart man and things will work out I am sure. I wish you the best of luck with the new company.
lol @ backing accident.. Hope it goes well for ya, glad to see you back!
if you ever want to drive a company truck come to your closest Old Dominion terminal and they will get you on and paid over 60 cents a mile. Great company to be with.
you may need counseling
Brain counseling
yep to many carp to go through. communication is always the program problem not to mention pay
I would get one of those Kenworth T680's if I were you Abe
The beginning of the video was great! Glad to see your back truckin
Thank ya sir!
RunHard GetPaid what do u think of central refrigerated?
U mean swift?
Don't really know too much about them.
RunHard GetPaid grass ain't always greener on the other side.
Those porn sites have tons of viruses bubba! Lol! Glad to hear you were able to find a new job so quickly my man.
LOL feed them trolls bubba!!!
Abe, you've got to start asking questions and finding out the information that you need and that will take your career where you want before you sign on the line. Your going to get yourself labeled as a job hopper and that will make it hard for you to land a good driving position. Do your research brother and good luck.
Cool hope this is the one. Keep on truckin.
Looks terribly stressful and unrewarding. I commend those who can do it. Looks like it effects health and fitness poorly.
Hope you're hanging in there bro, 1 year on. I have left more than one company under a cloud and know what it's like having to explain this shit to prospective employers. Many seem to enjoy rubbing your nose in it. Keep at it there's always a way...
Is this what we are down to in the truck driving community? Are there such few men/women available that companies resort to a "Do you want fries with that" person. He talks about being fired which most companies will rather have you quit in order not to pay unemployment compensation.
Hey Abe are you from Grand Rapids? I am from Allegan. And in my opinion a good company in Grand Rapids to lease onto is Par Logistics. They are a very good company and pay very well.
I heard lot lizards inc was hiring sweet heart..
Brother God's got Much Better for You.Don't Look Back
Dispatcher can fuck up many times, but drivers ohhh no that's a no no.drivers a dime a dozen , mentality needs to change.
Congrats on the new gig Abe, get well soon and Roll on.
Don't worry bout all the haters Bro maybe they're all jealous you got a channel who knows! Keep trucking regardless
you won't see any profit for the first 5 yrs
Cowan Systems LLC, since Feb 2009 (trucking since 1995). Only complaint is 65 mph trucks. Other than, this Comapny fucking rocks. Safety First... Fuck_ K and D trucking.
Great video Abe, good luck.
Idk if you still use your CZcams channel but This is my 3rd video Ive watched, and I’m from Grand Rapids Michigan same place as your new (not new anymore since this vid is from 2014) but I thought that was pretty cool and I like the vids man
Sorry to hear this. Hope the new gig goes well.
Sorry you got fired. Good luck with the owner operator endeavor. 👍🏻
Why are There so many drivers that think their life is so interesting it warrants a CZcams channel.
Possibly because trucking is a lonely life...being online may make them feel connected to humanity in some way.
That's not hard to understand at all. And beyond what rainbow said, you may also be socially unable to connect even if you happened to be around people.
Don't EVER lease!
thank you, you are a nice man.
theez comments are ruthless...sheesh hope none of you ever make mistakes in life or do anything wrong.
If you want enemies in this world, just have opinions. Stay safe out there. Kanpai.
Fracking is where the freaking money is! Damn I need oil to come back up
+Jesse Delgado I HEAR THAT!
Company I was working for in NoDak is closing terminals now. I hear tale there is work but the days of big companies hiring hundreds of drivers every month is gone. Praying for another boom.
+vf12497439 no joke I hear ya, I'm doing interstate hotshots but the money just isn't the same
+Jesse Delgado I'm working for a big west coast OTR company and barely making ends meet. Waiting for the next opportunity. I knew about the Bakken in 2007 but didn't go up till 2015. I'm not waiting next time.... Missed out on serious bank.
50 to 80 grand. You better put a one in front of those numbers.
🤣🤣🤣 gotta feed them trolls lmfao!
