This guy needs his own youtube channel! Amazing on camera speaker and presence. Like an experienced pro!
Clean cut, well spoken, tucked in shirt, quality driver right here. I'd be more than pleased to have Johnny show up with my ride.
Agree, top notch car hauler & businessman 💯
Weak facial hair.
@@rayray4192 Like your weak comment. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.
@@fishlips8336 bullshit. You Tube Comments are positive and negative. It’s an open forum. I have a 2023 Kenworth W.L. 900 with custom paint. It’s not Halloween orange and it certainly doesn’t have mirrors mounted on a sloped hood. I never asked your opinion but you offered it unsolicited. You have a right to voice your opinion.
@@rayray4192 Whatever man, you made an unsolicited reference about an individual, not his truck. Keep your opinions to yourself bud.
I own a couple W900's, but you're not helping your case with your ignorant comments.
52 years old. You look awesome. Power to you for taking care of yourself.
Dude is way more than a haulier but also a great presenter! What a truck!
First, thank you for your 13 years of service to our Country!🇺🇸. Great content and explanation of your job and Reliable. Good Luck!!
Thank you!
That’s the great thing about being a truck driver in America. It’s so big and there’s so much too see, no two days are the same. I’m a U.K. based truck driver, but deliver and drive all over Europe so for a few days I can be down south in sunny warm Spain, then 3/4 days later, I find myself driving up into Scandinavia where it’s snow weather and freezing surrounded by snow capped mountains. Something different every day and I get paid for it. Plus I enjoy my own company so I can easily chill in the bunk area with my I pad banging a movie on Netflix, Amazon prime etc.
Honestly, probably the best custom made (by ARI, I presume?) sleeper I‘ve seen in such videos - has everything you need, fits two, but isn‘t too big and too long, only 105 inches. Every truck sleeper should be like this. I like this guys general attitude, but also towards hygiene - very cool!
That was a Bugatti pictured, inserted when you were talking about a Koenigsegg.
Great video.
I've watched a few of these now and you guys are all totally professional, your trucks are always on point 👍🏼👍🏼, but the one thing you all say is that the crew is like a big helpful family, and you all get along and help each other out.. If I ever come to America, I'm looking to work for you guys 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great to see there are still professionals like Johnny around instead of the trash steering wheel holders that are on the road today. Be well, stay safe out there and most importantly Thanks Johnny for what you do. Seriously driver to driver my family appreciates you and yours. Keep on Truckin💯💯🤙
It’s a trash industry now days. That’s why us stinky trash drivers are out here
Just getting my CDL now. 12 years Army Aviation. (GI-Bill free training for the win) Having a truck that turns into home wherever you stop is the dream.. Good size cab as well. Not to big or small. Just about right. Thanks for sharing! See you out there. I'll be the one with a tree embedded in the trailer while dragging a full street light pole behind me.
Wow this town really loves truckers.
EVERYONE is waving to me as I go by.........
Even if you only get a standard truck with a bunk and small kitchen area remember there’s good truck stops all over the country where you can take a nice shower and get some real nice food. Although if you eat out every night it gets expensive. That’s why I only eat out maybe once a week, most days I cook in my truck cabin. Saves money🙂👍🏻
Word of advice from a 17 year driver. Never be in a hurry and make sure youre not working all the time. Trucking has stolen many a drivers life in pursuit of money. Be safe
So I'm not a trucker. I'm just fascinated with these big RV type of trucks. It's so nice to have a home set-up. Everything's there with you. I used to like watching that show where they surprised the truckers with a nice overhaul. I forget the name. So thanks for the video and have some happy travels wherever you all go.
I've always loved seeing these trucks on the road. Been a dream of mine to drive an extended sleeper. I love cars and have 8 years of cdl experience, but never car hauling. Always thought about doing it but never pulled the trigger.
If I ever need transportation i the future..it will be with this guy...awesome presentation
Hi Johnny met you at Monterey this year, it was a pleasure. I'm Brian with JP Motorsports.
Keep on trucking and well done on this video.
Hope you got the issue fixed that happened at the pilot 😉
All is well buddy
What a great addition to the Reliable team.
Thanks for your service!
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Super informative. Thanks for sharing
Great story, and a cool dude. Thanks
Thanks for your service brother!
Wow Reliable sounds awesome
Watched your entire video Johnny! I'm into everything Autos from Barn Finds Hunting to Auctions and Racing and Restoration's. Simply inspiring for anyone to discover a Great American company that's run by everyone working together! That's a dream Job when Your Wife's Happy Too!
Very good interview, well dressed. Thank you for showing us your truck and trailer.
Cool ! That sounds like a good gig. When I go over the road on a regular basis I would need a 100-120 sleeper at least. Would need that bathroom for sure.
This driver could run for president. What an ambassador.
Thank you!
Great video.Looks like a great job.
I enjoy watching I’ll be coming over by next month I’m ready
Great company. Great drivers.
Loved it nice interview
Just saw a few of them heading to LimeRock park in CT this week.
Beautiful setup.
Dream job!! One day…
Always a pleasure talking with these drivers during Monterey car week !
Very cool
Another great video. Waiting to show how loading is in a enclosed car hauler.
Take care,
Marcos
Thank you! I promise we will. Anytime we film these we always just go into our yard and find drivers unloaded & doing their reset lol. But we will make it happen in the future!
Top man, top kit, professional approach…..how it should be done 👍🇮🇲💪
Thank you
Amazing truck, well done.
It sure is! Thank you for watching.
Pretty sure I saw your truck at a truckstop this morning 9/8 off of i-24 between Nashville and Clarksville. Nice rig man.
What an awesome guy
Now thats a condo sleeper if there ever is one!
Talk about neat 👍
Nice job, buddy.
Thank you!
Get my cdl this coming Friday and I’ve always been fascinated by reliable
Good luck! 👍
Man's truck🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didnt hear 18 speed spoken. Lol
It's still got a stick that has to be shifted! More than i can say about the idiots that have to drive an automatic transmission! And there's quite a few that couldn't drive a truck with twin sticks! Or a 13 and 4 speed brownie or any other Combination of transmissions. So if he has to shift it manually it's still a man's transmission!
I can drive an 18 speed also...
I was being funny
awesome truck. id like one with two captains chairs behind the first two.
Guy looks 30 not 50! Living a great life keeps ya young!
Agree!!
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this, great presentation. Interesting how high you have the steering wheel.
“Most of us are on CB”
Yeaaaaahhhhhh right good one buddy
These guys are real old school truck drivers that have been out doing it for a while. So yeah, most of them are running CBs. It's the Gen. Z tick tockers that don't run them
“I prefer the rear door, I like going in the back”…hahahahahaha
Hoping to become a truck driver. Wasted almost 20 years doing stuff I hate. My family all been in truckin other than myself. From grandfather to great grandfathers. I wanna truck!
Came across you by chance and the fact u drive a manual gearbox is great so bigging u up from the U.K. boss and what is your CB handle as when I get my amateur radio licence here in the U.K. wud be good to contact you and the missus but keep up the good work
He likes the rear door😂😂😂😂😂😂
Such a nice Truck for Drivers!
I had a Dream as i was a Kid i want to Drive across the USA with a Camper Today im a Truck Driver in Germany and think About to move to Canada and Truck There with One of this Trucks i didnt need More than the Truck😍
Trucking isnt a Job its a Lifestyle 🙏
Have a good ride Mate you have a nice Truck and a nice Lifestyle 💪
I like how the camera zoomed in on his hand when he slapped something.
man that driving postion was tripping me out. how the steering wheel is and how little the windshield looks.
I'm a car hauler for a company and I've been thinking about coming over their,, trying to get my girlfriend to come but she doesn't have car hauling experience,, wonder if they would let me train her🤔
At 5:48 DUCT TAPE in the door?
I wish I could find a company I could lease a truck with 105 inch sleeper!!! Thats perfect
So buy one and lease it to reliable
Why not a 13spd? Great set up!!
Hey ive been watching alot of these videos . Seems like these drivers are making really good money. I wonder how much these driver are making yearly? They seem very happy , im happy for them .
Only company when it comes to car transport is Reliable!
🙌 thank you!
So do regular company drivers get these types of sleepers?
Reliable paid him to say he loved E-logs LOL
I'd love for Jordi to drive a truck like that
Take us on a ride
what are the qualifications for get that job? is it O/O or C/D
Isn't that the logo of "Allied Van Lines"?
The red car shown in the picture was a Bugatti not a Koenigsegg as described
I'm assuming you need car hauling experience to apply for reliable??
Most definitely! Enclosed car hauling is even more technical than open carriers ! Specialized in every way, hauling very expensive, and unique vehicles! I’ve done both for many years (30) , I work with Reliable on a regular basis! Currently doing open, But enjoy doing the special hauls ! Reliable is top notch company!
Yes I do only been doing Amazon and reffer
Why is that door duct taped?! 05:48 Someone help this man out. It takes 3 seconds to setup the bed but he couldn't show us. :-D
Dam truck needs a cut ND polish she be looking clean
Wonder how much they charge them a week for these insane trucks lol.
I wonder what it costs to lease that beast?
Lovely but with the microwave so high it makes you wonder if someone getting a scalding burn is a horrible event just waiting to happen.
Lol
Obviously the owner operators are making money or else you wouldn’t see all these fantastic looking rides.
Remember that 90% of his operation keeping record of his expenses.
@@davidmartin4990 I was an owner operator for years and I know all about keeping records
How’s the pay at reliable? By cars or by miles??
Depends on the setup. Lease & owner operators get percentage. Majority of Company drivers are mileage based.
What’s the % for O/O? How much can O/O make avg each month??
@@ReliableCarriershat is the process for coming over and becoming a lease purchase owner operator? Do you guys make the process fairly easy? Is it better to start as a company driver for you guys?
i wana get a job there
Does reliable hire and train? What is the minimum experience they hire?
Yes we have a 10 day intensive orientation program for all new drivers. For OTR, we require atleast 3 years OTR driving and 2 years of car hauling or other specialty / high end transport work (household , art transport, etc)
@@ReliableCarriers so if you have 5 months experience in otr, you’d have to wait 2 years for car hauling and have 3 years in total? Or do you guys train? Hope you understand my question lol
Reliable carriers to dubai hills and expo transportation 2024's pavilion
The music made me change channel
What you making there 60k after tax?
Roflmbo!
5:29
Hum. Let’s say I’m a trucker. and I have a classic car… would the company let me bring my car with me if I’m on the road for a long period… let’s say that I would be the type to sell my house and live on the truck… I would just need a place to put my car… (64 impala Lowrider). Is this something that could be done?
I highly doubt they’d allow you to take up a space on the truck.
15:45 that's a Bugatti lol
We know! We just didn’t have a pic of him with the Koenigsegg. The photo was from a different delivery we made for Floyd and we thought it would be cool to include anyways.
5:24 who doesn't am I right
The temperature cannot go from -50 degrees to 112 in 1 trip. Just saying.
Show the got damn bed. It only takes 3 seconds lol.
Must be on about 130,000 a year.
I would hope that's close to what the company drivers make. Owner operators better be making a whole lot more than that.
Yea problem is I got a life outside of trucking and I ain't going to stay out for months at a time
o7 😎👍
“Fridgerator”
Can I please get a job here? Please?
LOL, mans truck 10 gears.......
Thank you for laughing!
That's all I was going for.
I can drive anything, but describing a 10 speed...I thought it'd be fun to say "mans truck "!
Lol
Nice truck but adventure yeah it really is trying to find a parking spot after the sun goes down ,pilot,loves ect all the same thing time after time forcing yourself to make these ridiculous del on time hot loads ect then traffic issues. Yeah it's a real adventure. But it is a nice truck. I admire folks who can afford one of those.
That was a Bugatti not a Koenigsegg
Yes, correct. The pic we used as an example was from another delivery we made for Floyd. We didn’t have a pic of the Koenigsegg delivery unfortunately.
typical youtube film disaster not film things when being describe
105 inches isn't very long for a car hauler.....
That's just the sleeper dude
Woman are NEVER SATISFIED, lmao. I have an electric board myself, he doesn’t at all look like the type to pull that board out and rip it. Hopefully I see him at a truck stop or on the road and go ride with him, seems like a cool dude
You're in great shape. Why does your wife want you to gain weight? :)
Lol. Ugh. 15:40 , definitely not a koenigsegg. Guess he really isn’t a car guy
We didn’t have a pic of Floyd with the Koenigsegg. We just thought it would be cool to share the pic of Floyd we did have!
