I can tell you already, i love this young man, he is always putting God first. You will make something of yourself, he never gives you more than you can handle. God bless.
Amen. Faithful Fther
Always beware of a "god-boy"...flexing a powerfull imaginary entity whenever it suits them instead of personally taking responsibility for their own actions.

God is a myth ain’t no god
I remember being in that dark place, I ran my ass off, gone 3-4 months at a stretch, trying to get our business going. I was sacrificing everything for my wife and kids, and so called friends were telling her that truckers cheat, truckers are dope addicts, telling her I was a part time father and full time trucker. Her and I separated for several months, and I remember contemplating every waking hour... how do I end it, how do I free them from me, I'm the burden. I thought about so many ways to die out here, head on into a bridge abutment, drive it off fancy gap, drive off the bridge on i10 in Louisiana, blow my brains out, and on and on.
Those were the worst times in my life, I finally broke down and told someone and they talked to me around the clock, they pulled me away from the edge and I'm forever grateful. My wife and I remain happily married still, 18 yrs, she fully understands and appreciates the job we do. God Bless you all, my fellow drivers.
Hope u got ridda those fake azz friend
God bless you
Thank God he sent someone to talk to you. Grateful for your testimony. Continue being blessed
Bless you man I'm glad you made it through
I went through something like that, my wife kept accusing me of having another family in Texas because I was always going to texas, I asked her well if you believe that do you want to go to my family reunion I'm sure my other family would love to meet you! Well come to find out that some dude was trying to holla at my wife and he was the one putting ideas in her head, when I rolled up on him the punk ass MF blamed her, like she was chasing him, I told him to come get his bitch out my house,
He never showed up
No disrespect but if any of you would've been driving back in the day( 60s 70s) you would look at the drivers today and be sick. Back then a driver didn't go hungry..EVER.. A driver broke down on the side of the rd there would be 3 or 4 drivers pull over to help. One driver lost his alternator, a long ways from nowhere. Granddad pulled his extra out of sidebox, helped the guy put it on and gave him a new belt with it. It was 4 days before we got home. A brand new alternator and belt setting on his desk with a big thank you note. Made a life long friend. That's the way it was back in the day. So I don't have much faith in the drivers of today. Oh ya we made a lot more money back then. You laugh but fuel was 39cnts a gallon, and freight was ( depending on what we hauled) was $1.50 to $1.85. Ya there were those that paid less but where we were at it paid good. Not these days all the brokers are nothing but common thiefs and drivers cutting the rate to beat someone else. You have DOT with absolutely no common sense and people running trucking companies that have no clue how to do the job or what it takes to get it done. Don't get me started on the lumpers bullshit. It's actually 100% illegal and if drivers would stand up and say no .. its your freight, you ordered and paid for it, I'm not paying you to take your stuff off my trailer. You can either take it off or sign refused. Then by law the driver gets paid to take it back to where he got it. NO WAY IN HELL WOULD I BE A OTR DRIVER. Little computer telling you when to work n take a break and when to sleep. That's why driver accidents went up ( I think) 38% the first 6 months of elog. Oh hell no.
I am 3rd generation, grandfather drove 60s-80s, uncles drove 80s-2000s, I started in 97. I am absolutely sickened by what passes for a truck driver today. No dignity, no self respect, some look and smell like hammered dog shit. These are not the men I grew up around in trucking. My grandfather would roll in the grave watching these pigs walk in the truckstop wearing pj pants, flip flops and weighing as much as Jabba the Hutt.
Jesus, you sound like all those annoying old guys saying "back in my day..."
I despise lumpers! If the company will let me , I'll unload that shit myself before I pay a lumper!
@@hhuggman1 Sure...lets see you unload the entire truck cause youre to stubborn to pay for some help, jesus.
@@hhuggman1 I’m an owner op and do my own carrier packages and what not but long story short I’ve been raised around trucks my whole life. If I have a lumper fee ima just pay it bc ima get it back. You can’t win against these brokers or mega companies bc others will call you dumb and there you go, battle lost, so just I just deal w that type of stuff and stay in my lane driver
Honestly I can relate to everything he said and this dude is an inspiration .and I think as a truck driver, and other fellow truck drivers we be going through it man going through some dark times but you gotta keep your head up keep God in your life and do good And everything will work out respect🙏
💯💯💯 🙏🏿
I needed to read this 🙏🏿
Understand totally. We all have dark times. Not had a lease purchase but been there. Good lord watches over us and the dogs keep us sane
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
I do respect him for telling like it is and keeping 100
This kid is a rare breed, super humble. 🙌🏾👊🏾👍🏾🙏🏾❤
It's crazy that you have to be featured on this channel to get recognized. Some of us quietly do the job at top shelf performance and you will never notice us. 3rd generation, 25 yrs out here pulling flatbed, man I piss excellence, 😂 and no one notices unless you get a spot on the Asian Mai Show.
Super humble with two revolvers on his t-shirt. You have no idea of his history.
@@Substance2020 what's the matter? You offended by his T-shirt?
@@Boomhauer333 No it's just a t-shirt. It's the t-shirt symbols combined with putting "god is always great" in every other sentence and calling him humble that's problematic.
@@Substance2020 Owning a ZO6 or Hellcat doesn't make you a speed Demon. Everyone in a pulpit ain't a Saint either. 😐
Does this brother have a channel? I love his honesty and openness. I see a lot of myself in him. He’s wise beyond his years.
Yes in the descriptions he has a instagram
@@MuthaTrucker what about CZcams? Instagram is ghey
@@MuthaTrucker I don’t have social media but I appreciate that.
Depression is no joke, it puts your mind in a prison and you cant find the key. Someone you know that is suicidal. Get them a Helping Hand because most cant reach out.
Yess agreed
I took me 10 years to get to where im at today, I did the over the road thing, I did the rock hauling, I did the oil field, now I do local work and make 7k a week as an owner operator. I have the check stubs to prove it, and what i discovered along my journey, the bigger the Company the bigger the theft. Private companies is where its at. Im thinking of getting my MC and US DOT, I have a Texas DOT but im learning what I need, we lewrned how to use the load boards and keep brokers in your contacts and establish a good relationship with them.
do you do any mentoring?
@@blisslimoservice1732 Im writing a step by step program on "Gum Road" im putting real Brokerage firms and some load board info and how to talk to the people., and also negotiating on rates. Like for example I had a load going about 50 miles for $1,100, I asked for 1400, and got 1300, those 200 extra dollars are to take care of your diesel on this load, and I do that for EVERY LOAD, man i have alot of tips and tricks on this.
Same I’ll be interested
You hauling for just one company? 7k a week is like 350k a year. I’m all about that lol
@@JasonW479 Yup, my wife landed a contract, they need us year round, mon-fri 6am to 6pm off weekends , butt ill do a load on Saturday, pick up and drop the same day. Or ill pick up friday night and deliver Saturday morning at like 5am, Local work only, I live in Dallas TX
My first year in trucking was tough. I was learning the game and I jumped in to leasing within the first 6 months when I knew nothing about running a truck much less a business. I was living the same way this guy was living until I wised up and went back to being a company driver. At least I had a paycheck while I was learning the industry. Now 6 years later I’m making a damn good living and have learned a lot from that experience. Some advice for a new driver is to stay away from any leasing programs for the first year at least. Learn the industry on their dime and not yours. You may think you got the handle on things but you don’t. Be careful with the knowledge you get from a CZcams truck driver. Most only tell you about the highs, they never seem to talk about the lows they went through to get there. A few will but a lot won’t. Always be safe and mindful out here.
@Dan Reardon facts💯✔
THIS GUY IS SO REAL. GOD BLESS YOU BRO.
Glad you're still with us .TY 😊 for your service. 👍👍👏👏👏✌
Brother I have nothing but respect for this dude. Keep your heads up my bro 💯 🙏..
I felt the same way this man did but never lose your faith. I been through everything he has and now I'm doing better. Not just in trucking but life!
This man needed to speak. Many of us need to speak, but most will seldom listen. Always take a second to remember you are never alone. Shout out to this driver, and God bless.
It’s unfortunate that in the truck driving industry folks who drive trucks going through mental challenges. I thought truck driving was supposed to be lucrative. This man passion describes the darkness of the industry and where it can take you if you let it.
Most Of These Guys With These Stories Were Trying To Move To Fast Before They Knew The Business
@@Bidness100 facts, they jumped str8 into lease without realizing they're digging themselves into a whole. Some new drivers make it 3x as hard when it don't have to be.
@@Solitude633 💯
Needed to hear this! I started my hotshot company and its not going good making enough to pay bills. Quit my railroad job 4 this! Hopefully it gets better!!!
Same here seems like I’m only running just to pay bills especially during this slow season. High insurance payments and low rates will make you want to throw in the towel. I was a diesel technician for over 7 years before this. Keep going I heard it’s gets better if you don’t give up!💪🏾
I was in the same situation when I got my CDL and was driving for prime Inc lived off flying j hotdogs for over a month glad I'm at another company now doing better but still have my hard days as we all do . This video is inspiring and I appreciate the interview
Crime Inc bruh
Lol hot dogs
How bad is it? Was looking at it myself
It really hit me when he said he thought everyone would be better off with him dead. I’ve thought the exact same thing and just veering off into the woods to let a tree take me out. Thank God he didn’t do it. God is indeed good.
Keep your head up. Everyday you wake up your lucky because you were one of the ones chosen to wake up again, because fact is a lot don't or they wake up not knowing that day will be their last. Hard times come and go, and time heals all.
No joke whenever your on top everyone’s your friend when your going through things no one knows you.
Hey man thanks for your testimony it make my day God bless all truckers and trucks
WHAT HE SAID IS VERY VERY VERY TRUE. I have 30 years in this Business and the GREED is Disgusting. I have the SHADOWING STORY BRO... GOOSEBUMPS listening to YOU. OMG I FEEL YOU dude 100......Here I thought all this time that I was the only one.Dude Props to you YOU WON... WINNING
"This industry will eat you ALIVE if you don't DRIVE" Everyone in your POCKETS but YOU....The BANKER, The Truck Dealership, The Insurance man, Uncle SAM, then Toll Collectors "TOLL ROADS are a double taxation to ALL TRUCKERS, if you ask me", EZPASS, then the Fuel Man, and the local TYRANTICAL MECHANIC, just to name a few, will SUCK you DRY if you don't Open your EYES. The CB RADIO is not YOUR FRIEND neither is the GUY parked next to you at a Truck Stop you spent sometime in, Its CRAZY. GREED like no other Industry in the LAND "MAN, MAKES THE MONEY, MONEY DOESN'T MAKE THE MAN...
I own a TRUCK SHOP IN Southern NJ, PHILLY area. BRO anytime when you in the area look me up RLHT and I will PM your TRUCK for ZERO BRO. You a fighter like me when WINNING couldn't be BOUGHT"
This guy just said everything I'm going through at the moment .Made me feel good to hear his story .God bless him and thank you !
Stay strong 💪
Blessings to you brotha i know that feeling of being in those dark places thank god you made it through it keep trucking and smiling bro
I’m leased on to company and yeah sometimes it’s get expensive but my pay is good and I’m local and it’s honestly changed my life for the better…flatbedder in the northeast
That was your best interview I’ve seen.. As a truck driver, that’s the side drivers don’t talk about…I sure that interview would touch every driver out on the road…. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Peace and blessings to you brother!! You're gonna go very far in Trucking. You've hooked up with the right one now. God's got His eye and favor on y-o-u!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏾
Aman bro. I'm 16 years in and there is so much truth to what he's saying . Real stuff. Keep your head up. Everything is up and down but it's never that bad. God really will help . Talk to him and never give up!!!
I'm proud of you brother God will never leave you hold your high you are awesome!!
Amen! Man, I never get tired of Tony! He is just an amazing person! God is Great!
I remember about 18 years ago, talking to a prime lease driver in the iron skillet in Carlisle, PA. He was teaming with his wife and they were running coast to coast. He told me that had $600 for the week after expenses. I could not beleive it.
Leasing a truck was a big mistake They were better off going company
I'm not a truck driver, but I feel every word he's saying! Much respect to all of y'all Truck drivers!
Keep pushing bro! Enjoyed your story….. U never know what people are going through! Blessings to you and your family! Keep talking about the goodness of God! Yes sir…🙌🏽🙏🏽
Faith and perseverance. You nailed it all young man I would love to shake your hand.
This man is truely an exceptional person. His story is inspiring. Thank you for interviewing him and giving his voice a far reach to us the viewers. I hope he will interview with you again!
I’ve been driving for 23 years and know the suffering to survive off of nothing and it sucks. I plan to buy my own truck in a few months but am happy with the company I am with now,$2000-$3000 a week as a company driver.
What company if you don't mind? Otr regional, local?
Get it brother! 💪
Take your time, sometimes it takes 5 years to rack up enough to pay cash 4 a truck n have emergency funds but its much easier on your mind doing it the slow but sure way
Lies
@@EM1statuz lies?
Tony, you are a grown man! God speed…
That almost made me cry brownies, I know that feeling, eating chips until that check. SMH, God is good all the time brothers. Keep em rolling
Real talk man. We all get to a point man and try to hold it up the best we can.
This guy here n myself are very alike to here his story mirrors my life as an child adult driver hard tims will come n go NEVER GIVE UP! ...... Hammer Down!
I here you!
I’m so glad he made it through all of this.
Yea bro some of us definitely been there… You’re honesty is so much appreciated my guy. Been in this 15 years and I been in that dark place. Grateful for you bro
I love you brother. I'm glad you made it threw. Super happy for you.
Hell yeah!! Speaking real truth!! I’m not gonna Lie. I shed a tear on that one. Thank you Bro!!! Keep on Trucking!
There you go again bro, raw honest content. so many channels depicting this industry as a money machine but you putting it down raw baby.
Love Dudes energy, he definitely deserves good coming his way 🙏🏾
Fantastic videos. Truth is so many truckers go through this !
What an amazing human being definitely one of those people that would just light up your day when you're down much love brother
Sure do appreciate the honesty from this here driver ….. HATE the ones that lie about trucking saying they make ALL this cash and a fancy lifestyle that’s just not there for a lot of us …. I’ve been on trucks for 27 years , the most I’ve come to appreciate is honesty ✅
U take care of yourself driver.were all in this together
Man right now I've been trucking for just a month and I'm ready to drive this C.R.England truck is about to be somewhere in the ditch. For the last 5 days they've been sending me on dummy mission to locations for loads that were already picked up. It's frustrating because im wasting my days not making any money and missing my kids. It wouldn't be so bad if I was at least making money
Ditch that vampire of a company jus find a company local hrly to begin with get into hauling gas those vampires will make u hate driving I kno drove 2yrs 4 em training running 24/7 hated every minute
That's real talk right there. I respect that. He's right.....there ARE levels out here. But it's rewarding to move up through the levels.
Cool interview
Man it’s sad how many drivers out here have felt like that. Glad he’s in a better place now.
I always have said stay away from any type of lease! Either get your own financing or stay as a driver. Stay safe drivers!
This is WHY it is NECESSARY & IMPORTANT to tell your kids the TRUE & COMPLETE story of Mon & Dad’s struggles & triumphs! How else will they know what to do when you’re NOT HERE?
He must not negotiate load prices. Probably taking the first offer everytime. In 2021, truckers are making more than ever.
I don’t see how anybody can thumbs down this video. Mental clarity especially as Truck Driver’s is very important. God Bless this man and any Truck Driver going threw a dark season in life.
This guy is saying what I’ve been saying. Old trucks make millionaires. Don’t get another man in your business. God bless you brother.
Old trucks also are run into the ground after 10 years. Dont kid yourself, 10 years and nearly 2 million miles, the truck is wore out.
@@YourName-jm7lz Absolutely and that’s why I bought a 20 year old truck with 1.6m miles. I could dump $100k in that truck and I’d be way happier than buying a brand new truck. The build quality and materials used on old trucks is something you just don’t get anymore.
@@YourName-jm7lz mine is 21yrs old, original motor & tranny (900K actual on odometer) ...no overhaul, still kicking ass. U have no idea what my truck has done to me & mines ... Don't throw shade to what you don't know 🤣
@@vroor32 That truck will run for another 21 years easy if you take care of it and keep it clean.
@@markm0000 exactly my plan. Go easy on her, keep her maintained and reap my efforts. She already bought me a reefer, and now a house ... From a $7K investment
I quit trucking because of all the lies and deceit and controlling of your income, just to much crap to put up with, corporate greed and those companies need to be investigated by the D.O.T.
That's a cool young man ,glad you made it through the tough time.
I park my truck at 595 all the time, I lease with CRST and I feel like my story would make for a good video
yes, Mr. Tony is right, life is beautiful.
I feel his pain man, these companies and brokers are taking advantage of us truck drivers
life is so much better with Tony!
I have had all the same thoughts and I know exactly where you are coming from.
Nothing but respect for this young man. I've definitely been in some dark places not to the point of comiting suicide but definitely like How am I going to make this happen. Total uphill battle when it don't rain it pours kind of stuff. Like he said God is great and just keep grinding keep your head down surround yourself with good people and it works out.
Most won't admit to being in a "dark place".....more of us have been there and back..... That's why you have to keep your faith. And rely on Yourself .....most people you consider friends you can't count on when times are tough....just my opinion.
That’s Not A Opinion That’s A Fact You’re On Your Own Out Here
Love that he puts God first without God we have nothing
I can believe it alot of drivers go into with best intentions of being an owner op and get screwed by finance or leasing company
My apologies to see the young Man going through so much turmoil. Amazingly he made it to sunshine ☀️. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, he's brave for sharing
I agree fully, He’s making me check on all my friends now (Men). Thanks 🙏
A man of courage and faith - well done. If you're reading this and have depression, I got you. I've been there. Please reach out for help. Sometimes it's easier to get help from a stranger who is a trained professional. This is what they do, it is their passion. If you've tried everything else and nothing worked, try talking to someone. When you're at the bottom, there is nowhere else to go but up. It's not about looking weak or being judged; it's about investing in yourself.
Wow, I know this man from middle school. I can vouch for how he was honestly we’ll leave a lasting good impression on you. Definitely a good guy. #KeepTheFaith Brother. He’s ALWAYS with you.
There thousands out there right now that feel bad .HEs very truth full glad he got this off his chest .
People don’t believe you they think you should be happy .Life is a job .
Much love and god bless brotha 💪🏾 thank you for your story 🙏🏾
This one of the realest vids to date asian mai i mean i love all your content but this one hit home about mental health and trucking i think that topic needs to be pushed bc it definitely can have a negative impact on the idustry
Wow! You should have more of this on the channel. A wonderful source of inspiration!
This guy is speaking the truth a lot of trucking companies out there just don't care they're out there for their bottom dollar not yours
I like the way he said YES MA'AM....
Gotta be from the south.
Blessings.
Thank you for your faith and testimony!
Glad you got back to trucking content especially motivation content 💪🏾👍🏾
Man I can relate 100% with this guy. Watching this video really is like a self reflection.
100% facts about dream killers and motivation destroyers. A bad trainer for someone starting out trying to learn is one of the worst if not the worst that can happen to a newbie. Aside from causing an accident.
Honest dude in this video. Much appreciated.
May God bless you and continue to be with you. The struggle gets real and no one never knows what you going there, speaking from one who has been down the same road!
That’s F’ed up. That company needs exposure. Need to get these predators out of the industry. They are keeping us down as a community and society.
You are an inspiration brother stay safe thank you for your story GOD IS GOOD
Much Love & Respect young Man.
Continue to keep GOD first he’s not done with you yet. ✊🏽
I feel ya brother. I couldn't even get enough miles to refuel to eat.
I worked for an impendent car hauler like that once.
As he said. It was horrible.
Working harder than ever. Like be out for two weeks, Return to office to get paid, After advances and deductions you made $400
It was awful.
I have a brand new cascadia , i make 3000 a week and pay the truck note and insurance leased on. Some people just don’t want it bad enough
This man is amazing i think he should start a CZcams channel he would get a lot of subs
He has an instagram!!! In descriptions and pinned comment
Thanks for sharing this video. It's not easy talkin bout this stuff. I can relate and glad Tony has found happiness again.
Glad you made it through Tony.
LORD JESUS BLESS ALL THE TRUCKERS OUT THERE WORKING FOR THIER FAMILIES MAY HE KEEP THEM SAFE AND HEALTHY
Bro thanks for sharing, I left my job because of work stress and take an advantage of me working hard now I say F OFF!! tell the brother thanks for sharing and all the best.
Love my bro
First guy i heard on here to speak so much about Jesus. God be the glory. Great to know he knows where his help & strength comes from. 💪💪
God Bless you my brother 🙏 🙌 Give all the glory to God and He will always Bless You 🙏
Never do leave purchase all they want is that payment they don't care about u
Good dude there loved hearing his story
I've been there. Depression can take you over without even noticing it.
The realist of real! Never stop!
