Im a single woman and I've never been afraid being on the road alone. By the grace of God we go!👍🏽👏🏾🙏🏽
You are so right. I am 48 years old, & I got my CDL Class A, & I’m into week 3 of my 6 week OTR training. And I love it. I never thought I would switch careers at this point in my life, but I did, and the only regret I have is I wish I would have done it sooner. Love your videos 🥰
Updates? How's it going?
Did you go to school to get your CDL? I need a mentor and love hearing this! I need a change plus I’m 52!! 😊
@@annfowler7368 I’m a 50 year old woman looking for schools right now too. 💃🏻🚛
@@sierrajones4681 I'm 58.. I wonder if that's too old?? My kids are dead set against it, but my 84 yr old mom says go for it lol! I'm soo ready to do this!!!
@Sierra Jones I'm 53 was in health care for 25yrs and making a change to trucking
Scared but excited. You'll do 👍 great
Backing scares me. I am bus driver in LA. I am tired of the disrespectful passengers. I want to try truck driving but I’m so scared to not be able to back those trailers into tiny docks 😭
It’s a brave thing driving a truck. Facing unpredictable roads, driving in the dark where there’s bad lighting, not falling asleep. It’s just easy to you, but a lot of people couldn’t do it. God blessed you with this special ability.
This video couldn't have came at a better time. I start my otr training tomorrow and this video has helped me mentally prepare for it. Thank you!!
i on my second week of traing you go girl
Make sure to learn how to drive a standard not just an automatic.
@@truckingwithtobee my driving school taught me how to drive 10 and 8 speeds, so that's all I've driven thus far
@@alexandriakaprelian6280 That’s really good! We own a trucking business and we’ve had to pass over a few really good qualified drivers because they only drove automatics. The schools that they went to told them that they only needed to learn how to drive automatics because most companies were autos. So they had a restriction on their license. You will be able to get a job anywhere! I wish you the best of luck❤️❤️❤️
@@truckingwithtobee Thank you so much!! Yes, my instructors at my school said most companies are eventually going to be full automatic but they didn't want us to have that restriction on our license. I actually drove local for my company last week and it was a 10-speed international but I'll be driving an automatic otr
So true. Especially Facebook sisterhood trucking groups. It’s mostly women taking pictures half naked in front of trucks, knit picking, videos of accidents etc.. That’s why I stuck with your channel. After divorce this is going to be a life changing decision and I’m over 50. This is something I’ve always wanted to do and I’m preparing this year physically, emotionally, and spiritually so I can put myself in the best position to succeed. Thanks for the content.
Very proud of you young lady!! As a veteran driver there’s nothing to be feared about driving a big truck..The longer you do it the better you get you made a very wise decision getting in at a young age..You would make a good owner operator consider in the future of running for yourself you won’t be sorry you did…👍🏾
Wow I tell you this young lady she is a Genius. She speaks very Intelligent Clear and on Point she needs to be a spokesperson for some Corporation. She is very smart. Keep on learning young lady you are the Chosen one(.) 👌
You are on point with this one. If you change the way you look at things. Things begin to change. Fear is a mindset that is developed as well as courage. I was once afraid of trucks for some of the reasons people mention. Now it's my passion to get my own fleet after driving for 3 years. I won't stop until I do so. It all begins with your thoughts. Educate yourself, practice and what is foreign will become common.
Yesss! ❤️🙌🏽
This was a great topic to speak on. There is strength in Uncomfortability , the more we rewire our mindset from “I can’t” to “I can” the more positive doors we open
“ GOD has not given us a spirit of fear , but gave us a spirit of power love and sound mind “
Fear no man , fear no evil ,Fear no situation. The bible says 365 times the words (fear Not ) , one for each day of the year .
This is so true!! I just started trucking back in August and backing has been a battle for me. It has had me question if I could keep going. She is so right when she says humans adapt! We have learned so many things.
Backing is not my strong point either.
Ok. How's your backing, 5 months later? I gotta know.
@@quemunroe7520 it is wayyyy better! Even if I’m not lined up with my dock exactly, I can wiggle it back in there. Now I try to back into docks all kinds of ways just to keep getting familiar with how the truck and trailer moves.
@@tiffaniewilliams446 That's awesome and gives me hope!
I start class in the morning! Thank you for this video! God has not given us a spirit of fear..but of love, power, and a sound mind! My mind is open and I'm ready for whatever it have to offer. I've prayed about it and put a praise on it! I TRUST GOD WITH MY LIFE 🙏🏾
Amen, Rooting for you!! ❤️🙌🏽
@@nieshak Thankkk you! I'm on my 3rd week now!! It went by so fast!
@@tripinoncrochet7676 Thank you so much! I’ve been driving for 6 mos now ❤️💙
@@tripinoncrochet7676 Thanks 🙏🏾 you! Good bless you also ❤️💙
As an OTR trainer, the fear and "what if" factor did play out a lot in my mind when students drove while I was asleep. But a few things helped me through it:
1. Being a decent judge of character
2. The extra pay I earned
3. The company allowed shutdowns in emergency weather.
4. Had the option to take the winters off if I chose and come back in spring.
5. And always being able to park someplace decent with amenities.
....While I'm not currently a trainer. I did have a set of concerns at my new job due to the fact that I've never hauled doubles. And over the past few months I've asked my supervisor questions from time to time pertaining to dollys and hazmat stuff. And it used to made me feel a bit inadequate. But there's a saying in trucking, and that's no one knows everything and everyday there's something new to learn.
When I started training as wise old trainer told me that he truly believes that almost every single human has an innate ability to stay alive. Even though students can do some questionable things when learning how to drive a semi, that self preservation will innately kick in under high pressure situations. You are correct. Being a good judge of character is key. Always make the student fully understand that if they are sleepy or unsure of any given situation, just come to a stop as soon a possible and you will help them/take over the driving with no judgment towards them. Make the students completely comfortable about telling you anything they maybe nervous or scared of. If they are nervous or scared, a good trainer will identify the problem and work with the student to become comfortable. Saftey is key. I don’t want to spend my pile of money on hospital bills 🤣
Question, please. The students drove while you are asleep? Were they paying for that training?
Eventually. No guts no glory.
Everyone has different fears, I'm afraid to cross high bridges. God is helping me and hopefully He'll get me through it
Be safe out there ladies . I’m a ex driver and it can get weird /scary!sometimes🙏🏽💪
Yeah the lot lizards they talk about creeps me out lol!
Trucking should be under the same category as first responders the country depends on something in somebody trailer everyday. Camaraderie is what ppl see on the highway nobody knows the bs back at the office that happens and until ppl overcome their fear u gone always be brave to somebody weather You want to or not courage comes from god and you ma’am is the definition of gods courage Joshua chapter 2 verse 11 thru whatever really everybody can’t do what I do 🙃 safe travels
Love the message!! Always spoken so well and right on time! No amount of CZcams videos can prepare you for the actual experience 🙏🏽 I remember wanting to quit because I tore a mud flap lol. Something so simple but I was fearful I would keep making mistakes. I’ve made many more mistakes after that but I can say I didn’t let fear stop me
This is so good! Yes 🙌🏽❤️
More excited than afraid. I haul chemicals on the tanker side. I love it. Best advice I can give is, never get complacent and take it one day at a time. Much love.
😂😂 the release arm , the more you try the easier it becomes
Couldn't have said it better. In my mind having a certain level of confidence in yourself eliminates 99% of fear, however being pompous and content can and will get you hurt in any line of work. Its a fine line to walk that most can't understand. Be safe, driver!
Truck Driving jobs have a 98% turnover ratio. I tell everyone I know if they want to be a truck driver and make money, they must own their own trucks. If you don't own, you are making 10% of what you will make as an owner. When you own, you can also hire drivers and have tax rite off.
the expenses don't outweigh the gains?
Why the high turnover? Are they ending up as owners or burnout from too many hours? Trucking is something that I am considering which is why I watch.
@@cinnamonparsley6384 No trucking companies don’t pay a fair salary. They pay 10% . When you own and you get outsourced jobs you get 90%. When you work as a driver you make about 70-100k. If you own you should make 1/2 million annually
@@mack38412 how much can I earn if I become a reefer owner operator? Net vs gross? Thanks!
@@prosperousk5477 I don’t know.
I grew up driving big cars like Cadillacs and Buick’s so once I started driving trucks I just compare it to that the only difference Is the 18 wheels and it’s really not hard to drive a semi
This was such a good video I feel like nobody talks about fear in trucking. Thanks Neisha for speaking on this and encouraging people like me to embrace learning and seeing trucking in a different light.
I can relate!!! I have been driving OTR for a year now and some days it looks like I just started backing. Excellent content!
It took me a few minutes to realize you were in your truck while making this video. Awesome setup. I got my Class A 5 years ago since I work for the government and it was free. I’ve been a heavy equipment operator here and only stay on the property. I’ve probably been through 10 of your vids and you along with a few other CZcamsrs have motivated me to leave my nest here and hit the road next year. Great video and plz keep them coming!
How do I go about getting mine for free? I currently work for the post office
@@Mizmizae well I worked at a landfill in Orlando, fl. Everyone operates heavy equipment there including trucks so it was mandatory.
@@rickyglaude oh okay thank you
love your video. I went to trucking school in 2013 when I was 21 and it was incredibly hard for me. It was a two month course I had failed 20 times just trying to get the learners permit to start school and that's with studying. I had a fear of down shifting not being able to stop in time for a red light and 35mph felt like 60mph to me. also had a death grip on the steering wheel. the school did not teach us about truck gps so it was just a road atlas that i couldn't read. I passed the class and got my cdl class A but never used it. I work as a school custodian now and i can support my self. but i wish i had more guts you are so brave to so many people even if you don't think driving a truck is brave. I wish you and everybody else getting there cdl all the success in the world.
I’m working towards my permit now and I am doing one chapter at a time, with the studying I get a few questions off or been close to passing but misses that one question, I fear the driving but like any job I can conquer my fears by facing them, my only downfall is the parking and that’s because I learn how to parallel park the day before I got my drivers license, I say that because parking was the hardest thing for me to learn even driving my car the straight back I couldn’t do until when the man was asking me to reverse I prayed silently I didn’t hit other vehicles, but I came from a family who almost all of them had they CDL now I have 2 cousins who is driving now my dad, 3 uncles and an aunt all had they CDLs
You should definitely join again
@@lavonnealexander6936 Thank you for your kind words. I would love to try it again, but things are more complicated in my life now than when I was 21. when I was 21, I could quit my job and go to school for the two months and not worry about bills because my mom could support me but now, I'm my mom's caregiver she is on dialysis, and I pay the bills and her food basically living paycheck to paycheck there's no cushion I can't save anything to last 2-3 months with no job. I was so stupid back then and I hate that I threw away such an incredible opportunity. I love these trucking videos, but I torture myself with them too because they went beyond and took the next step, I know trucking is not for everyone but to never experience it after all that work, it does hurt. are you going thru CDL training?
@@Ginza92 nope 👎🏿 I am not doing trucking but this video was just interesting 🤨 to watch.
I needed this video. I just got my class A, and even though I know this could open so many doors for me, I’ve always been hesitant. I don’t want to have this special skill and look back one day and regret not using it.
Always refreshing to hear from a Christian sista and what I would like to see is a balance in the work place. Have more women mechanics and painters and it would inspire others to do the same. Keep up the great work cuz I see your inspiring allot of men and women to learn about trucking.
God will protect u
I really like all your videos! Thanks for your talks and all of your information you put out there. Glad you found a happy medium with your work too.
Thank you for the positive messages as always, Niesha!! I'm stoked to start training next month and channels like yours REALLY help reinforce the fact that I am fully capable of doing this work.
Been watching videos all day mostly hours and then here is a new upload ! Thank you ! I just plan to get my things in order have a plan , learn what I can , get my cdls and present it to my family because I know even as a 31 year old woman raising daughters , one almost in middle school , being the youngest my family will prob have so much to say and so I know I want to change my life and have a plan .. so I am ready for the backlash but I just know that I will have everything in order and either they will be with me or against me . But I feel like with a solid plan it will be easier to trust that I’ve thought this out and it’s my time to make it happen for my daughters - proud of you
I am literally binge watching all of your videos! You are so inspiring and crossed my path at the right time..God Bless you
Dam that set up got me thinking it was your personal room then I remembered I saw the video of the set up lol good job 👏🏽
Wow this was really good! Such wisdom on more than just trucking. Thank you💯🙏🏾
What a great message! Not only for trucking, but for everything in life. You are an amazing inspiration 😊❤️
Love your content, it getting me prepared for being on the road. Keep them coming. In CDL class now and can't wait till I get my class A in December.
2nd Timothy 1:7 Perfect scripture for this segment. Stay fearless Lil Lady,and stay safe driver..
I thank you for your encouraging inspiration & knowledge ! Keep them coming !!
So happy I found your page 🥰🥰 you go sis!!
Thank you very much. I am new just got my cdl permit. I start prime next month. I agree with everything you just said 💯❤
I understand the fear of the unknown, you know what other drivers are supposed to do, and what they shouldn’t do, but not knowing what they will actually do!!! Be safe, be careful!!!
Thank You for sharing. Your very well spoken and wise beyond your years. May GOD continue to bless and cover you🙏🏽🖤👑
I needed this. On week three of school and was feeling a bit discouraged by the all dock maneuver. But we all learn at our own pace and it's all mental. Thank you
There are no words to express how this video has inspired me to overcome my fears. Thank you for your transparency. Part 2 please ❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾
Niesha you are amazing, thank you for your encouraging thoughts. God's blessing is in you
Salaam! Thank you for sharing your experience with those of us who are curious and considering this path. I appreciate you for being articulate, thorough and transparent. Peace and blessings sis!
I'm so glad I found your channel you're making me feel a little bit more Relaxed about Getting my CDL
Powerful & encouraging
Ty for helping me feel more comfortable 💗
You Rock, BTW 😊
Straight honest I respect that be safe out there young sister safe travels
💯🙏🏾 keep dropping knowledge!!!!
This video was so needed. I start trucking school next month and honestly, I was scared. Mainly of some of the things that you're said. I'm going full steam ahead! Thank you!
Thank you fr I start my orientation on Monday and my whole family is focusing on the things that COULD happen and trying to convince me that I wouldn’t be able to make it, but this is what I want. I can not worry about what if’s, I will have to take it as it comes.
Thank you thank you 🙏🏾i was turned off to trucking in the middle of perusing my cdl from being a rider with another trucker. Now i am excited again and want to finish studying!! Keep posting your energy is refreshing to see in this industry
Just stumbled onto your channel and I am glad I did. Subscribed!
You are such an old soul. It’s good wisdom that you are sharing. You make the ancestors proud. Keep up the awesome work.
I have to say you are truly inspirational I watched some of your videos and just seeing how you handle yourself and that truck you are very strong minded wow!! amazing
I appreciate your very calm straight forward speaking to women considering truck driving and letting us know there is nothing really to fear.
This is a much needed wonderful video. Thank you ❤️️
God bless you. It’s nice to see more women drivers out here in this field of work. Ive been doing this now about 12 years and I admire when more fearless women are out here. Truly awesome. Keep up the hardwork and stay safe. Just take it one day at a time with a positive attitude🙏🕊 Have a good trip. keep on truckin.”😎✌🏽🚛
Seeing a young lady drive a big truck is so inspiring to me and gives me extra motivation to get into the trucking industry. I’m currently scheduled to take my road test for my class C drivers license next week. Watching this has me geeked lbs 😁.
Just recently found your channel after doing the CZcams trucking thing you mentioned. Was thinking about a change in careers. Maybe it's an almost mid-life crisis + my life long love of trucks. Anyhow, love your channel. Could listen to you speak for hours!
Dope message I’m doing it afraid sis and I’m still scared on my 4th week of training lol but I’m still going! Keep going y’all even if you’re afraid some things have gotten better for me and I just found out from sis that I’m the brave one ❤😊
I want to thank you for sharing so many think in the trucking industry. You have inspired me to get my CDL, I’m very scared but I’m more afraid of not doing it.
I needed this video so much, Niesha. Two months ago I was thrilled to receive an offer from a small company in Ohio willing to train me. As the days become closer, that excitement has turned to panic and fear. I know that deep down I want it, but my thoughts are telling me otherwise, that it's all a mistake.
I am moving forward with the job and your video had a part in that.
Thank you.
This is a beautiful and thoughtful message to new drivers. I have been driving 25 years and I definitely had some serious doubts and insecurities that challenged my belief in being able to thrive in this business but I told myself that I would not quit until I knew that I could do the job and then If the job just wasn't for that would be okay but not because I couldn't do it. 👍👍👍👍
I absolutely love your videos and you're such an inspiration to me. Thank you for putting out this content!!
Thank you for sharing. I’m starting team driving with my husband and I would have fear while driving with the trailer attached. Bobtail I’m fine. Now I know I can do it. You e helped me.
I really needed this video Thankyou so much neisha 🙏🏽
You’re channel is the best!!!! I love the new office!!!
Your
You’re awesome, thanks so much for the video. I’m seriously considering becoming a truck driver after driving Uber for 8 months.
You are wise beyond your Years Young lady. Great video thank You I shared it with my daughter.
You're so great and encouraging! I've been on the fence about doing trucking and most of the videos try to scare people out of doing it. Your videos are so sweet and supportive. Thank you!
Omg I’m 😭 for real. Thank you SO much for this video!
well said young lady i am in my second week of training
Im here for thisssss , I love your content and you definitely got a new SUB over here ! Keep it up
When you said, "move forward anyway, sis. You have sisters out here." I felt that. Been taking steps toward becoming a driver and am looking for encouragement. This video gave me what I needed. I adore your spirit and if we cross paths out there, I'll be sure to say hello.
Hey Miss Niesha I am here. It's good to see you.
That was an excellent talk you have done on this video. Hope you’ll keep making more videos. LOL
Keep it up!! I love your philosophy on this industry! I hope you continue to do well and excel!! We need more women drivers out here!
As a light that sit on a hill , we are to shine and lead others to that place of safety ... You have done this well 😊...
Continue to shine and be not EVER discouraged, no matter what the attack is nor of who is used to bring it ... God is your only keeper !!! Enjoy what you do and know that prayers and lifted on your behalf 🙂...
You are a very wise young woman and you definitely make me as a grown Man say I got this! Much success 2 u Queen
I watch every video from the start,I don't make comments. I just want to say ..."This intellectual,intelligent,mindful,sophisticated woman is extremely rare. Not just because of this video,but if you watch her...she does things very well thought out. I can relate,because I do. But this isn't about me,it's about actual You Tube channels that make sense. (SIDUCTIVE,SKIMP DEE,are other examples).and I am a 100% straight male ! It's just these woman speak from the heart & NEVER sugarcoat anything. I don't really watch the dudes as much,only because it's nice to get a different perspective from the opposite sex. But keeping it real,they can be more educational than my brothers. Much Love !
I'm so inspired by you young lady! You are so WISE for your youth! I'm getting better with my Offset & Alley Dock, and by watching your videos help give me strength to continue on until the end. Thank you so much heeding to the spirit to help females out here. Nay God continue to bless & keep you Queen! 😊🙏🏽
Thank you so much, God bless you too!! ❤️
@@nieshak Hello there Queen! I DID IT!! I got my class A CDL"s last week! I start Orientation tomorrow with a major company! Thank you Jesus!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you as well for the strong impact you had with helping me to accomplish this goal! I'm so grateful you even took the time out of your busy schedule to respond to my message. What a blessing! Please continue to allow the spirit of God to guide & utilize you in such manner. We need this kind of positive energy in this trucking game.You stay safe, and stay blessed Queen! 💪🏽🚛👑👏🏾😅🙏🏽
Much needed to hear🙏🏽
I just wanted to say I love ❤️ you stay safe out there much love Big D 💯
Love the upper studio.
thanks for the good advice about having a little fear when driving through different weather , like snow I don't think I can deal with it because you never know what will happen next but like you said to deal with it so it will be the thing of the past. also you said something about having the fear of being alone in which if you are a child of god you should have faith that god is with you always or hopefully he sends you a good friend or man, you just have to ask him for it. but if you need a good friend to listen or talk to I am here, I am a child of god also.👍 😁😀🙏❤️
You are so Amazing ❤ love your spirit 🙌🏾
Moving foward!!!
I love your content you are truly a godess and blessing upon blessing to you for always keeping the father first...hope to see you on the road soon

Well said keep doing a amazing job 🙏🏾👸🏾💯✊🏾🤞🏾👊🏾
I think the overuse of a singular word or a couple of words you are not used to hearing, like nouns that apply more to your concerns. Why one has anxiety or unease is usually, as you mentioned is a lack of experience. What was the probability of getting an introductory ride as some O/Os should provide that experience for newbies at a nominal price? It is a moot proposition now though. Drive defensively every time you sit in the cab. If you use engine braking everywhere you are driving too fast. And in normal weather, the worst time to operate a vehicle of any type is 3:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. as you may have been familiarized with Circadian rhythm or sleep cycle disorder. So imagine the challenge when the weather is bad or you have to put on chains and you know it is nap time. Decisions are crucial, so yes chain up first then nap within 10 minutes after doing so.
