    Hello ! I am French (from France) and I discovered your CZcams channel a few days ago.
    I find it interesting to see an American truck driver share with us the daily life of his work in the USA. That's a change from French truck drivers who do this job in Canada. It's interesting to see the American vision of the profession.
    I'm not a truck driver myself, but I'm passionate about trucks and I find American trucks magnificent. 👍

    My old 'YRC' terminal was in Bolingbrook, IL. Drove for them for a couple of years. Regional LTL, relay (doubles and long-box trailers)....just terminal-to-terminal. Very easy, no sleeping in the truck, paid-for and decent hotels. Went from Bolingbrook, IL to Copley, OH (near Akron) almost nightly. Also used to drive to St. Louis, Nashville, St. Paul, Columbus, etc. I left before 'YRC' (then called 'Yellow') went bankrupt and dissolved into nothingness. Developed blood clots in my right leg and had to quit driving, which was fine with me. One of the things that sucked about 'YRC' was having to haunt the rail yards to get my own trailers, especially on the weekends. Pain in the @$$.

      That's not a fake tattoo. He probably got it recently and the parts look more faded and rubbed off are where the scabbing has come off amd the darker spots are where the scab is still at. Anyone's that has tattoos knows this fun process as it sucks.
