Just because the guy thinks out loud and says what’s going through his mind doesn’t mean he’s freaking out and doesn’t know what he’s doing. He drives safe and he made it as far as he has without you goofs criticizing him
Exactly, very informative
He sure does. Great driver.
He drives like a clown
New style, COMPANY dude, tractor has auto shifting, ect. Single log book, the true day of trucking is gone, sadly 😥
Neaning....it's all for show🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Glad you're being safe with the straps in the trailer. Hauled nothing but paper rolls for a good number of years and never once threw a strap in the trailer. Never had an issue with them moving either, the rubber mats on the floor generally prevents movement. As you've probably noticed you need to take curves and turns slower due to the height of the rolls. Hope this helps you. Keep on truckin and keep the shiny side up.
First load of paper rolls 11 years ago, 6 at roughly 7,000 pounds each. They put them on the rubber mats.
I go to the truck stop and weigh my tandems, everything is perfect.
As I am driving down the interstate someone cuts across 3 lanes of traffic, I thought I just tapped the brakes.
300 miles later I pull across a scale near Menomonee Wisconsin, my little tap shifted 3 rolls and now I am 4800 pounds over on drivers. $995 fine, company paid it, but I should have known somehow... F JB Hunt .
I had to trans load rolls at a truck stop one time because the other driver had to emergency break and the load shifted. It totally destroyed that trailer those paper rolls are no joke.
Gets fresh oranges because refined sugar, yuck. But gets hot pockets lol
Exactly lol... Hot Pockets full of non processed nutrition... Right?
You know you could’ve just done a uturn in that lot on your delivery in Rochester. There was plenty of room and just pulled straight up and backed in 🤨
Some companies if you do a U Turn at all you leave your keys on the dash because you’re fired.
Just get 1000 gallons a month at Love's, and you'll get unlimited free showers as a Platinum member.
That only works if that's where the company allows him to fuel each time. They tell him when and where to fuel because they're paying for it. The same thing happened to my brother when he worked for US express. It used to infuriate the hell out of my brother.
@@jacobravenwood7968 True, but he did say that his company makes him fuel at Love's all the time, so if he's running miles, he can easily get 1k gallons in a month.
For my showers at loves I fuel one tank first, turn off the pump then run it again and fill the other side. I get two showers per fuel stop.
Nice
Alex, I know you will be back to NY as your routes will take you through there. What you went through is nothing compared to trucking in New Jersey, NYC and the East Coast. So, relax and move on. Good luck.
Pounced 'New Joyzee' Had the BEST Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich in Joyzee
yea I've seen semi trucks driving through manhattan. now that is nuts
Been to Brooklyn many times ,only the real ones know what I’m talking about .
I drove through uptown Manhattan, fun times.
That’s what I said I drive through it every day to stop bitching
I drove 33 years see it all the time in every state Walmart is hiring to stock shelves you ought to go there
He did work at burger King before he went trucking lol
Dude has no business in a truck lmao, surprised his company hasn’t seen his videos and fired him by now
@@wanghaf_Gl0yper this videos should get him fired immediately.... never plans his routes, doesn't know what he's hauling, can't back up, hits trees overhead... the list goes on
Hi Alex, I love your Chanel. I'm not even a truck diver. I only tow an RV fifth wheel. Wish all truck drivers were as safe as you. I can watch your channel all day long.
A truck "diver? How about a muff diver?
I live in a western suburbs of Rochester and this city is declining. Has been for years.
I never refused to go to any city, small towns , it’s what I signed up for 35 years ago. Man up or shut up .
Confidence Alex! Confidence! You have gotta drive outside of the GPS. You gotta know at least what STATE you are in! You CAN make those turns! You did great! Safely transported the load to the receiver! Thats a success!
Also, if you just hang up the pump and restart the diesel pump on a new transaction, you’ll get your shower credit
Once he pumps 1500 gallons in a month, the showers are unlimited the following month.
What did you do,find the only wet spot in the yard to close the trailer doors? This makes for wonderful Viewing i have never witnessed anyone agonizing over every single piece of minutiae associated with a truck wether it is picking up/ delivering/ fueling/ parking for the night / parking for a break / parking to go into a Walmart!! It’s exhausting watching him get tied in knots just thinking about some of this stuff, and as for parking up at 3-4:00 in the afternoon that’s fine,but get up early enough to compensate for whatever may come up , getting lost , traffic , getting lost , stopping for a break and don’t forget getting lost will also help with being late for an appointment. Keep on keeping on
Solution for cars that pace you: Just wiggle the wagon a bit, they’ll move!
Yep! I-81 just about requires this… even for other trucks!
Yep wag your tail a bit gets them everytime
7:00 no need to strap those 6000 pound rolls from the rear; they will never move backward, only forward with hard braking action wherein a strap at the rear of the roll will do nothing.
And tbh Those straps and hooking points have nothing to do with securing the load. Only to prevent something light and unstable not falling…
@@Phalz, Wrong
Good point.
Right I don't understand the strapping there. Never strapped a load that wasn't glass really
@@chrisherbert123 how come?
I’m an 76 year old woman and I’m amazed how much work it takes to drive these rigs. You deserve and should be paid well. We all need you. GOD keep you safe out there.
Your AC is a dehumidifier. Just turn on the AC, even if you set a warm temperature,and it will help remove moisture.
If there's no one behind you at the fuel island put in 50 gallons, complete the transaction, and then put in another 50 gallons. Problem solved
Alex you don't get any air to the back of your trailer until you push your trailer knob in after connecting your airline.
That’s basic knowledge. If today’s truckers don’t know that then this industry is in a world of hurt. I drove back in the 60s-1995. Back before they put just anyone behind the wheel. Real men, real trucks
Came and found the comment I was looking for 😂
No, it does not hurt to put straps in. It's a DOT requirement. Without straps, it's unsecure. Load DOT violation.
Alex I’m from New York but you need to keep calm and not let the New York traffic get to you let them do their thing you do your thing keep your cool and go with the flow
At 37:00 why didn’t you just keep right turn around and straight back in? Gotta work smarter not harder bro.
Drove for 20 years. I’ve never seen this except when a new driver is playing around, pretending to be a trucker! Ha Ha Ha! Good luck! Welcome to the laugh-along channel!
I enjoy his content, I really do. But damn if he just won't learn, he's stubborn AF. And a VERY slow learner, if any. And he complains WAY too much. And he's OVERLY cautious at everything from merging to parking. And THOSE hazard lights on ALL OF THE TIME (tick tock, tick tock). And he never plans routes ahead, so he starts complaining when he encounters road work and tryies to find a new one amidst slowly backing up screaming to his GPS (with his hazard lights ON 😂). Did I mention that I like his content? Because I do, but I'm no trucker so I can't claim to know better.
I’m a trucker and tbh bro shouldn’t be driving
Hazards on is a company policy and a good safety measure, dont criticize what you dont know
Its good to see a young man as a Truck driver, and a nice one also. Is this your own personal truck? Or do you drive for a company?
Where's the dispatcher tell us more about how you get your orders and where you go next.
Lol welcome to New York Alex. I've been driving sand hauling tractor trailers on long Island and the 5 boroughs of NY for the last 36 years. You gotta take control out here on these roads or you won't get anywhere around here
god bless you because i would be cussing em
Respect, I've been to NY state and it's madness.
Gravel hauler?
@@mikefeddersen2476 yes
I deliver here quite regularly. For future times, finish looping around in the lot like you were gonna leave and back straight in. Less chances for something to happen if you back straight with vision of both sides instead of that corner. Nice work!
Was gna say that, would’ve been much easier
Bud you’re gonna give yourself heart attack if you don’t calm down and relax. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
I swear,if i ever see him at a truck stop & there are a ton of spots. He better not park next to me ! I will get out,chew him a new one,then move my truck. But even if i just see him,i will call him out on his S***.
No you won't.
prissy boy is mad someone parks next to him at a truck stop? maybe you should get a local job so you dont have to be at a truck stop..... because trucks park next to each other in truck stops
@@deebly_goncerned Careful, he might not be able to understand such big concepts
@@deebly_goncernedI think it’s less this and more subtle unspoken rule like in mens bathroom use the urinal one down from the guy already pissing vs right next to them
@@Jayytrillz seriously... if there is wide open spaces take it...
Air doesn’t go into to trailer unless you press down the trailer brakes nab so the analogy of putting it on then walk down there was wrong
Sounds like GP Transco fuel desk needs to work on their negotiations because our company gets a automatic diamond status every month which gives us unlimited. Free showers at loves.
You seriously repositioned after setting your brakes and chocking your wheels because it was off a few degrees? What if that happened to be a dock without a light?
Once brakes are set, don’t pull out unless they ask you to. If they forget to switch the light to red,you may kill a forklift driver.
@@bigjohnnelson2613 exactly. I can't believe he did that
I can’t believe he repositioned lol dude you’re in the dock! Who cares if you’re off by a few degrees
I was taught and learned it's the truth; If ya can't handle the heat in the kitchen, get out of the kitchen. There's significantly more people in New York City and the immediate area near. Thus the issue you have with traffic is going to be considerably worse. There are 49 other states to haul to, your not going to or from New York still leaves you with the same basic issue's in all of the rest, but not to the degree, where you fill the heat your feeling.
He will never be lonely. He can have a conversation with himself all day long.
If you'll hit and turn off your HSA button, that will keep the transmission from jumping and jerking your truck while backing up. "Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change" Daily Motivation Bud ⬆☮
I discovered your channel by accident, and I'm glad I did. Your videos are great. People in New York think it's their God-given right to be assholes.
24:49 "Why am I in Ohio"
I think everybody in Ohio asks themselves this question every single day
34:30 why not pump 51 gals, stop, then. buy another 51 or so?
that would only add 1 minute to your pumping time instead of stopping constantly.
If ESPN had a not top 10 for trucking, you’d be on it every week. 😂
I don't even have my CDL yet and I could have told ya that. I've watched other trucker's have a nightmare of a time in New York especially backing into a tiny no room having place. When I get my CDL I already know not to go there.
you havnt done new york till you do hunts point market .now thats fun .
Looks like you could’ve done a complete U-turn and then just straight back in
Buy a Lube gun blew the fifth wheel a lot better cleaner and you could also climb underneath and Lube the drive shaft makes it run smoother who knows you might be able to CZcams the steering and you might be able to learn what makes the truck run😮
just sayin, the hazmat guys are generally the best drivers and safest in the lot.
Being from Cape Cod, I can understand your frustration with NY drivers. We have to deal with them and their entitled behavior all summer long.
You people up in the Boston area aren’t any different than the New Yorkers
Poor baby.. East Coast i95 driving is trial by fire 😂❤❤
3 gallons of windshield washer fluid? How much of that stuff do you use? Or do you mix it with the piss jugs you carry around and bathe in it??
Those 4 wheelers just love hanging out next to semis
Little do they know all it takes is one wrong move and they'll be getting dragged 😂
Don't know how you OTR guys do it. I was regional LTL line haul / relay on a dedicated run from the Chicago area to Cleveland/Akron, Ohio.
No customers to deal with, no sleeping in my truck (hotels), just terminal-to-terminal trailer delivery. I drove doubles most of the time but did haul 40', 45', 48' and 53' straight trailers often as well. The only thing that sucked was having to 'haunt' the Chicago area rail yards just to get freight. Had to do that a couple of times per week on the worst weeks. You OTR drivers are awesome.
Get yourself some steel toe boots/boots and then have regular shoes for driving/going into places. You'll want something to put the boots on so you don't track mud everywhere.
Bro you are the most scariest fuckin truck driver I seen, you got plenty of room to turn around I drove for 25 years YOU TOO FREAKIN SCARED TO MAKE A TURN WTF BRO
He's OVERLY cautious.
Mind your business

"why am I in Ohio" --Alex 2023
😆😆
Before anyone from Ohio takes this the wrong way, the comment Alex made was funny as he is the one driving and does not know the state he is in......
@@sicily7220 a truck driver that has no idea where he is going... imagine that
The reason it's handling like that. Because you got your fifth wheel all the way back. Your fifth whale should be in between your drives.
Man I get it. It’s not the drivers that was super scary for me it’s the horribly planned out loading bays that I had to drop trailer off at. For example there was a loading bay that was just barley wide enough for the trailer with no margin for error and on top of that I had to block up 4 lanes traffic to get the trailer in luckily all the unloading crew came helped me back it in there and hold up traffic. If there is one thing I have learned is don’t be in hurry just relax and take your time. Good luck brother and stay safe man you got this
One reason i prefer trucking driving is i like to be on the road going all over place i can't stand previous jobs where i work in one place all day long with annoying co-workers so i switched to ups as driver seasonal then did flatbed otr then did dry van now i havemt been otr truck driver in 5 years so i basically going back to get caught up so i am in 22 weeks of school to refresh things that are new and stuff that has changed i may have forgot then after that i probably gonna get a ari legacy sleeper i have loved rewards card and i habe enough points for 1 shower for whole year because i would fueled up 2 times day racked up points same in my home town Speedway i have 2 million points and up to 5 full tanks of gas
Welcome to trucking steering wheel holder.
Lol, what a whiny little guy- oh you fitting in just fine
Those guys that come got your trailer probably seen your videos lmfao
😆☺😛😄😂🤣🤣🤣
Thankful your safe. I have respect for truck drivers. Yeah them wide turns. The little things you do for your truck makes your world go round😃👍
Why are you saying you need to fuel up multiple times a day? My brother in christ you only need to fill up once a day lol. My company gives us fuel solutions that are generally once a day fuelings unless it's a long journey and the first one is to top up. No need to break up fuelings for showers
I'm assuming so he can have free showers banked for his resets
A full-time driver usually has unlimited showers at one of the major national truck stop chains. Why does he need 2 showers a day?
Why dont you just put 50 gallons when your at TA theyll give you a free shower too. They all do that
Actually it's 62 gallons now
@@truckercowboyed2638that is such an odd number.
Hes already stated in past videos that he has to fuel where the company tells him to fuel He has no choice on that. Same thing happened to my brother when he worked for US express.
in my 22 years OTR went to N Y 2 times, was offer to go to downtown area with 10 drops of craftsmen tools, 100 dollars per drop plus 1000 dollar bonus said no way never going back that was 2 days before 9/11 happened
Bro you seem to struggle a lot. Try loading your own loads. Like heavy equipment and flat bed trailed. Every thing is chained down and you have to stop often to check and retighten. Getting lost and traffic is the only hard times. And you have a new truck with power steering. I wanted a chill job that’s why I was interested
Alex needs some lessons on greasing that 5th wheel plate😂
He need lessons on everything he needs 75 gallons To go 240 miles
75 gallons that gets me between 600 to 800 miles depending on terrain
And get a road atlas and truck driveling apps with truck routes. Semi truck locations and click advoid tolls on gps. But never rely on those gps.
for somebody that is so terrified of getting a little dirt or mud on them.....he sure picked the wrong industry for that lol
He is the Dylan Mulvaney of trucking

As for getting cut off. I am from NYC area, trust me, when people act selfish and rude, they mean it. Its jsut the way it is. LIke a lot of people/things, unless someone actually has experience doing something (like being a truck driver), they just don't get it (or don't care). People from the NYC city area are voted the rudest in America, year after year. It never occurs to people that are rude to truck drivers that they rely on truck drivers to deliver their goods (sometimes medicine), especially now more then ever. Self Driving Trucks are NEVER GOING To happen on a large scale, these projects that you seen tech companies pitching is just that, a project to get venture capital funding, so these tech companies can spending the next 10 or 15 years doing research/product development but never implement their ideas on scale. And America will never go back to using trains to shipping goods on a mass scale either (its just the American culture, we don't live in the 'United' States of America, we live in the 'Fragmented' states of America, where each state competes with other states).
Why does he drive with his 4 ways on always
just do two separate transactions. They dont have to be space apart by any meaningful amount of time. You could literally fill up 50gal, replace the fueling house, get the receipt, then do another transaction for another 50, etc. I program that kind of shit, it doesnt check
Yeah I’d be doing that, they obviously have a reason to do it, but it seems unfair on truckers who fill up and get hundreds of gallons to only get one shower.
No justice, no peace !,,, no supplies either !
Alex is the man. He is a doer. Gotta give him that.
He’s way too nice on the road. Waving people in, allowing them to merge etc. 😂
Never seen anyone grease the 5th wheel, not changing adding grease, how deep can he get in that tube. And this is good advice.
Alex you’re a whole comedian! 😂❤
Get our and check, and you should already have a route and plan on how to maneuver the turns and docking. But use the entire road and space.
Hol'up!!! You upset over aggressive traffic??? Lol, you won't last long brother unless you realize that traffic situations is basically the main part of the job kid.
I will never everrrr deliver to NYC and that's my born and raised home state... I will visit, but then I'm so gone...I know exactly 💯 what you're saying😂😂
Rookie
Alex why dont you top off your tank before you stop for the night. One day the place will be empty of fuel because you let all the wise truckers fill up before they took off.
Hes already stated in multiple videos in the past that he can only fuel when the company allows him to fuel, they dictate. Where and when the same thing happened to my brother? When he worked for US express Since they're paying for the fuel.
Agreed. He passed up empty fuel lanes at the Love's to pull through the scale and Park. Why not just get fuel upon arrival.
900 miles in 2 days ?! Wtf!!! Wow! You would hate driving for my company . We do 1700 miles every day and a half as team.
Upstate NY which is everything north of nyc and esp Rochester is easy and beautiful esp when you have perfect conditions. He's being a drama queen.
In your earlier videos what brand is that cooler refrigerator in your truck? My truck doesn't have one and I am tired of spending money on truck stop food. I need a good refigerator/freezer.
That's the way every shower credit works at every major truck stop chain. One credit per fill-up of at least 50 gallons, not one credit per 50 gallons.
Matthew 6:19-20 🔴

You were actually less than a 10 minute away from where I live. I always hope you will get a load to/from my warehouse where I work.
He's a truck driver, not a rock star.
I hope I can make it into this field this next year. Tired of not making enough or working enough. What's your yearly average if you don't mind me asking? Also how long do you stay out at a time?
We hauled rolls all the time and never strapped them down. They aren’t going anywhere unless you go around the clover leaf too fast. Put the tandems under the last roll. You’ll be fine.
Is it me, or does this kid have an incredible ability to turn everyday trucking situations into a darn crisis??? Good grief! LTL will probably give him an aneurysm!!!!
Come on Alex. You absolutely do not enter a truck stop via crossing the cat scales to the parking area. First time I saw that I shook my head, this time I’m telling ya, not cool. Enter through the entrance, not the fuel island .
I enjoy his content, I really do. But damn if he just won't learn, he's stubborn AF. And a VERY slow learner, if any. And he complains WAY too much.

3:03 Alex, just get a calking gun with grease and just squirt it everywhere. It’s faster.
If you stack up loves showers, they fall off every eight day of that shower that you got so if you got it on a Wednesday and didn’t use it for eight days it will fall off on that next Thursday
When he was at CFI they provided unlimited showers and refills on coffee, soda and tea. Plus $0.04 cents for every gallon. Maybe it's changed since Heartland Express bought them. 😢
People in Rochester,NY have been to cut drivers off, Alex , they also tend to block you from making your turns an have you keep going.
There were times where a vehicle got close to my bumper I increased opening space.
The same thing happened to me, but on the general street. There are immigrants from all over the world in New York. Unlike ordinary Americans, they do not have the correct concept of road use and morals. They often pass, cut roads, and honk for no reason. I hope to leave this hell as soon as possible.
Can drive pretty good backing could get some experience and I understand not wanting to get dirty gotta live in the truck I live in one all week
Is not about New York. Unfortunately, people are dump!
I used to go to hunters point. I learned real quick , look both ways at stop lite and go.. Cops will not say a word. Traffic coming out of their going by NY Yankees Stadium is insane
Everytime i city drive i always split lanes idgaf if people get mad at me
Have to
I watch your videos all the time! You've inspired me to put the GP transco livery on my truck and traier in american truck simulator. P.S im only 9 and really good at driving
What is the brand and model of that equipment you have with the LiDAR sure would like them
Why do you stop for so many hours??? You only need 10 hrs & you’re ready to go again. You’re taking 13 to 14 hrs . That’s crazy , can’t believe your company is ok w that. How are they making any money w drivers like this. I know you’re not the only one.
This new thing called getting the delivery there on time. Lots of drivers don't run out their full clock.
@@Commy01 Except he doesn't get his deliveries done on time. He often just blows them off and gets there late
@@Commy01 running your full clock actually helps keep you going & running miles. Why not get to the customer hrs early so you can deliver early and have time to pick up another load. Never run out of hours so you can run off recaps & don’t need to restart so often but what do I know I’m just a truck driver 😂
@@MeLaPelaaan so am I.
My company runs it like he does. They give us all kinds of time and warn us never to deliver early. Everyone has different schedules. I personally hate doing only 10 hr breaks. Give u no time for nothing. BY the time u shower, eat, sleep u done. U have no leisure time
Can't blame you bro, people up in NY drive like fucking maniacs. Just be glad you don't go into downtown Manhattan, you are going to catch hell going through there. Keep up the good work Alex 👍
I work downtown everyday bub. Been to the top of pretty much every building multiple times a week. Glad you enjoyed your ride thru cinci!! Stay safe man!
