Bro randomly gets a full sleeve
I didn't see that coming. I like the view without the tats. lol
Yea I don’t think he was a tattoo guy
Body dis morphia.
Who cares lol
What a weird string of comments. Y'all don't know this man.
The sleeve really threw me off 😅. Hope to see you on the road sometime Alex! I just got my cdl!
It’s a fake tattoo lol
Alex, I am a lifelong resident here in Flint, MI. I am also a trucker! Flint isn't so bad! I wish I had been home to meet you, but I'm presently OTR right now, too. Our city has tried very hard to overcome the stigma that we have been under...
I lived in woodhaven
Vehicle City! My Dad grew up near Ballenger Park. He was OTR for 30+ years for Domino's and just passed away 2 weeks ago. This video hit me in the feels.
@mj_2332 Me too! Condolences 🙏🏽 to you and your family! It's some beautiful people here and some great things going on. I'm 58, and my maternal and paternal family still live here. My grandfather, Arthur Roper, Sr., owned the Tropicana Bar on Industrial Street. I have a home here, and Flint is what made me!
That's awesome. Drive safe!
Every city is hard for him to drive. I guess he's still learning.
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. 👍
Bonjour alors 👋! Moi c’était il y a quelques semaines 😊
@@anthonya. Yo ! Français également ou juste francophone ?
And Americans seem to find your types of truck pretty cool. The grass is never really greener
@@tmo.48 European trucks are very good, it's just the sleeper space which is far too small.

Keep on trucking with your videos.
Bro is trying to gain 28 pounds I'm trying to lose 30. I'll give you some of mine man. 🤷🏼♂️🤣
I would give him some of mine also.
I would offer him some hours off my eld but he does not truck that hard to need them...
I have a hard time trying to gain weight! Im finally at 175lbs trying to get 190lbs
@@StealthNinja7 shit I've got 40 to lose so you get twenty and the youngster get twenty 🤷🏼♂️🤣
Dude killer sleeve man i got a half still adding to it
Great trucking video! Mike from Missouri
Are we watching the same video?
Finally a new video from Alex! Are you getting burnt out on CZcams or in trucking? Seems like you’ve stopped posting as frequently.
I was getting burnt out after 4 years otr/regional. I just started with a flatbed company going through training now and it’s renewed my love for being behind the wheel. Stay safe driver!
He realized he actually sucks and most of his subscribers are bots
Alex, Nice ink art!
Bro got a sleeve
😮
Like why bother?
I live just outside. Yeah it’s getting pretty bad. I started trucking for Martin Trucking in 85’.Flint parts are getting better. Took someone to Hurley hospital the other day. Not bad. Trip to sucked.
The flat front trucks were called cabovers. Nice temp tat. Really enjoy your content.
Temporary tattoo, pause and look at the broken and rubbed off sections. Probably checking to see if he wants to get a sleeve that big before committing.
That makes sense…i have a full sleeve and it took me about 6 months to get it done lol
@@pas42hfdI wish I were that patient lol, i got both arm sleeves in like a month
Yup
Really dig your videos. Your truck reminds me when I ran with Danny Herman bout 8 years ago had me in a Cascadia then T680s after that. How long does GP generally have you out?
Damn!! You almost knocked the building down!!😂😂😂
nice tat work looks awesome
Kermit ThEEEE frog reporting from his busted ass vehicle.
Try cargo vans / sprinter van expediting when they give you a load that is to be delivered direct regardless of distance or time
hey, u were on the Toledo Glass City Veterans Bridge. And that was the Maumee River u were crossing I live in toledo,oh
Alex, don't you have a Yard Move selection on your ELD? It allows you to move around in a on duty not driving mode. If you want to know more about it just ask
One of the reasons most trucks still smaller is because those days had the great old Cabover which was shorter😊 then the conventional trains
From watching your videos to actually driving now is crazy lol.
Roll Alex Roll! 💯
To answer your question older trucks at that period were cabover engine so they could turn super easily and were shorter.
Cabover
@@JonathanSparks-ht4vq dang I got screwed by spell check😂. Thanks
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 @$$.
bro cuts the 65 attempt to go duck 4 and straight to parking 😂😂😂😂😂
Dude, I seen my truck in your video :) I'm out of Bolingbrook:)
Nice tat, I didn’t know you got one!!👌🏾
No one else has noticed but it is a temporary tattoo, look at the broken and rubbed off sections.
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.
You're 100% wrong.@@danielwerner5882
wrong
@@danielwerner5882it’s fake Mr. Wanna be know it all. He posted on IG saying it was fake already. He planning on getting the real deal. Hope he does. Nothing beats the feeling of a good tat
@@danielwerner5882tattoos are fake, he stated in a ig post that they are fake and he wanted to see how they look on him
Hey Alex how bad did the sleeve hurt?
Yo you still with GP I see. I just applied 2 days ago. All because you make it seem you all are busy, plus the cool looking trucks!
GP makes you deal with brokers and pays like 50 cents lol
Make sure you go and check out a Tropics game while in Flint.
Nice ink!
When did you get the tattoo looks awesome
Love the tattoo
great art work
Happy your feeling better men
The "Ohio River" belongs to Kentucky (how crazy!) and it separates Ohio from Kentucky.
Being that Kentucky was settled before Ohio. Kentucky was actually a county in Virginia until they broke off to form their own state
How do you deal with these short loads? If I'm not getting 2500 miles a week I might as well stay home
I ran a load this week from Alabama to Iowa . Then then Dead-headed to Minnesota for a load that was going to Ohio. Then picked up a load yesterday in Ohio Going to Georgia for Monday. I see your company all the time mostly Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana
Couldn't help but notice your new forearm tattoo, looks good!
I’ve never driven a KW. How do they ride in comparison to the freighter Cascadia?
ohh shiii my boiii wit the sleeveeeee
Reppin the tribe big time
Damn brother, got some ink done
finally a upload man
It's a DOT violation To have your GPS unit in your line of sight. Just thought I'd let you know
Like he has it I’m sure lol
Cite the regulation
That’s a gorgeous tattoo sleeve you have in your arm
Bolingbrook, Ill. - my hometown!
Alex, Did you know that the tyres on your semi is from Apollo tyres, India. They also own Vredestein. Quite popular and good quality tyres they make. Hope to see you having no trouble whatsoever with these tyres for long miles
244001 is your truck number why blur it out 🤔🤔
My thought also.
im pretty sure i seen you at quaker in cedar rapids iowa about a month ago or less
Try doing 18 hours, half of them bobtail, in a day cab.
Quick question! When you were filling up your gas tank, I know the two green pumps are for diesel. What was the last tank you filled? With theblack handle?
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

There's a street near where I grew up called Donmoyer
You’re above half way to 1 million subs!
where you purchase the frozen dinners
It’s a temp tat, @7:32 😅 (There’s a inside seam, and wrist smear from all the hard work!)
Ohhhhh you didnt!!!
Wow alex got his whole are done ✅💯😊
I am thinking of moving to Kansas City Missouri mid next year or so.... Is there a headquarters near that area? Also, does the company pay for the fuel?
¿Podemos hablar de ese tatuaje de manga completa?
Cool sleeve tattoo. I couldn't really see what it was. What does it mean?
Still a nerd, even with that sleeve. Love you bro😂
🔥🔥
What made you decide to get a full sleeve between videos? And then you didn't even mention it haha.
Bro u still sound like Kermit 😂😂
Buddy needs some bass in that voice
🔥🔥🔥
Video idea. Take us with you on your day off. Not every time , maybe once a month
A ride along would be cool.
There is so many hatters anymore. They are butt hurt that you are doing what they can’t. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t back down.
What I live there I wish I knew I would of loved to say hey to you I’m in cdl school and I’m set to graduate next week
every single video on bro’s channel from day one: “backing is gonna be tricky🤓☝️”
That's just what I love about him. No sloppy overweight bragging "super trucker" vibe from him--REFRESHING ❤❤❤
@@tmo.48 dude edits every back he’s ever done on camera lol
No video for your tatto sleeve?
New trucks have s much better turning radius than old trucks. If you have a hard time with the truck you have now, you would be in big trouble if you ever have to drive an old truck.
17:00 that bridge goes over the maumee river in maumee ohio
Dose new experienced drive gets the 2025 kenworth T680 in your company ?
nice tat...u changed so much since your first video...lol ur a real trucker now
If a tattoo makes you a "real" trucker then that's just weird. I'll not get any. I'm no sheep
awesome, i was born in Flint
Are you in Woodridge right now? 6/28/24 12p.m
I have to say man, I’m not a big fan of your driving but the Tatt looks bada$$
hey, there's a blue truck.
Whether the tattoo is real or fake; what is the meaning for it
he’s finally back lets goo
He's a rookie
